Dear colleagues,

HSE University’s Fund for Educational Innovation has started accepting applications for the Spring Competition for original educational developments.

Competition categories:

Teaching and AI technologies

This nomination is open to applications, which consider course delivery with the use of AI technologies (ChatGPT and similar technologies): from countering students’ use of AI technologies to their integration in course development (e.g., creating learning and assessment materials, analytics, instructional management, etc.).

Peer-to-peer review and assessment in course delivery

This nomination is open to applications, which analyze the application of peer-to-peer assessment/review in course work, with the direct involvement of students, including:

• prerequisites for collaborative student interaction;
• technical organization of peer-assessment/feedback practices;
• managing/observing peer-to-peer processes;
• pedagogical and professional results from this innovation (enhanced objectivity/variability of assessment, reducing violations of academic ethics and grade disputes, boosting graduates’ professionalism in various fields of knowledge, etc.)

Original solutions for assessment activities, including:

• original/creative assignments;
• use of digital tools in assessment;
• differentiated approaches to assessment, with consideration of levels of student preparation (i.e., individualization of tasks);
• integrated use of Smart LMS resources for formative and summative assessment.
