AI in Assessment Survey

As AI evolves, Large Language Models (LLMs) show great promise in educational assessment. In a Teaching Innovation Grant-funded project led by Dr Joan Li, we are examining how Generative AI can support marking and feedback. Our initial research shows these tools can match human markers in consistency and accuracy. However, integrating AI into academic assessment requires careful consideration. By participating in this survey, you will help shape how UQ adopts these technologies to enhance teaching and learning.

Prepare for Blackboard Ultra

This year, UQ will begin transitioning Learn.UQ courses from Blackboard Original to the new Blackboard Ultra. Most courses will make this transition in Semester 2 of 2025 and Semester 1 of 2026. To streamline the process, we encourage you to declutter your Semester 2 2024 and Semester 1 2025 sites by removing any hidden or unused resources before the content is copied to Ultra.

For new staff in Semester 1, 2025 the Getting started with Learn.UQ (Original) and Getting started with Learn.UQ (Ultra) guides provide information about UQ eLearning tools, support, ordering courses and adding content. A Learn.UQ Original basics self-paced online workshop is also available.

Automatically publish lecture recordings from Zoom to Echo360

Teaching staff are asked to ensure Zoom recordings are published automatically to Echo360 as Zoom cloud recordings are only a temporary storage service.
