AI and Digital Literacy in Action: Making Student Learning Visible Through Direct Assessment

This session explores how digital literacy, supported by artificial intelligence, can be leveraged to make student learning visible through direct assessment. At Bowie State University, the College of Professional Studies has embedded AI-supported tools into the Next Gen Internship Pipeline and classroom practices, enabling faculty to assess competencies through observable outcomes such as project portfolios, AI-assisted research briefs, case-based simulations, and internship deliverables. By combining structured rubrics with digital platforms, students’ demonstrated knowledge, skills, and applied behaviors are captured in measurable ways. The session also highlights how students are engaged in evaluating their own work with AI-assisted feedback loops, increasing transparency, and accountability in the assessment process.
