Teaching Seminar Spring 2026: Rethinking Exams in the Age of Generative AI
The seminar takes place on 19 May, 2026 from 12-3:30pm in the Demant Hall at DTU Lyngby Campus
Explore how generative AI is reshaping assessment and challenging traditional exam formats in higher education.
DTU Learning Lab and the Deans invite teachers and students to this year’s Spring Teaching Seminar, focusing on generative AI and the exam dilemma in higher education.
As generative AI tools become increasingly accessible, they are fundamentally challenging how we think about exams, assessment, and academic integrity. Educators are now faced with important questions:
How do we design fair and meaningful assessments in an age of AI?
What should students be assessed on, and how can exams continue to support learning rather than limit it? At the same time, generative AI holds great potential to support learning, creativity, and feedback when used responsibly and transparently.
This seminar will explore the opportunities and challenges that generative AI presents in relation to examinations and assessment practices at DTU. We will examine how AI is influencing assessment design and what this means for the future of higher education.
Together, we will reflect on how to balance innovation, academic integrity, and learning goals, and how assessments can be rethought to support student engagement, autonomy, and deep learning in an AI-informed educational landscape.
The programme is currently under development – more details are coming soon.
