The nursing process
Assessment AI Risk Calculator
Scores Format, Supervision, Digital Access, Time Pressure, and Verification Method.
Helps decide whether a module assessment belongs in Lane 1 (AI-free OSCE/Viva) or Lane 2 (AI-verified + log).
Generates practical ways to add oral defences, placement links, or verification logs.
Use this interactive tool to evaluate how vulnerable your assessment design is to Generative AI misuse. It considers five key factors: assessment format, supervision level, digital access, time pressure, and verification method.
Select one option per category. Your risk score and tailored recommendations will appear automatically.
0 of 5 factors assessed
Understanding the Factors
| Factor | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Format | Unsupervised essays are highly vulnerable; observed practical assessments, such as OSCEs, are much less so |
| Supervision | Unsupervised work allows unrestricted AI use |
| Digital Access | Full internet access means full access to AI chatbots |
| Time Pressure | Extended deadlines allow iterative AI refinement |
| Verification | An oral defence helps check that the work reflects the student's own understanding |
Design Principles for the AI Era
Assess the Process, Not Just the Product
Require student AI verification logs, annotated red-pen critiques, and explicit clinical rationales.
Layer Your Verification
Pair written coursework with a short 5-minute viva, OSCE station, or Practice Assessor observation.
Keep It Authentic
Design tasks around realistic bedside reasoning, person-centred checks, and UK statutory frameworks.
