Abstract

The EU AI Act directly impacts educators by assigning them a role in ensuring that AI tools used in classrooms adhere to ethical standards and guidelines. To make informed decisions about tool adoption, educators must understand existing guidelines, and align with AI competency levels as outlined in frameworks like DigComp 2.0. Emerging research emphasizes the need to build robust AI systems that consider pedagogy, ethics, and critical thinking. However, practical use-cases demonstrating how educators can engage with AI in practice are lacking.

To address this need, the “Guide to Building Grading Rubrics with GenAI” was created. This guide enables educators to design grading rubrics without prior knowledge of AI or programming, incorporating Bloom’s taxonomy and authentic assessment to scaffold student learning. A series of four workshops starting in 2024 were conducted with educators in Denmark and the EU digital education hub online, using the guide.

This presentation demonstrates how the guide and GenAI integrate new technology with familiar pedagogy, emphasizing human oversight and quality control. Feedback was collected from workshop participants, in person and through a survey. Preliminary results indicate the guide enhanced AI competencies, in line with DigComp 2.0 learning outcomes. Additionally, the potential for adapting the guide for higher education levels has been identified and is currently being explored.
