Impact of AI on IBDP
assessments & feedback
In the IBDP, AI is redefining traditional assessment and feedback
methods for both educators and students. Educators can leverage AI
to create robust exam-style assessments and to provide immediate,
personalised feedback, a boon in larger classes. AI's data-driven
insights can also help educators tailor their teaching strategies and
curriculum based on student learning patterns and performance.
On the student side, AI can significantly boost engagement and learning
through interactive tools like adaptive quizzes, enhancing motivation
and participation. It can provide instant, constructive feedback, aiding in
the quick correction of their mistakes, and support the development of
personalised learning pathways, aligning with each student's unique
pace and learning style.

Designing IBDP
assessments with ChatGPT
Crafting AI-driven exam-style assessments
If you struggle to find exam papers that students haven’t already seen and spend hours
making exam papers from scratch, then this section has you covered! We will focus
here on how to design assessments that mirror the rigour and format of IBDP exams.

Here, we outline the basic key elements for constructing a prompt:

01 Persona: Define the role you want ChatGPT to assume. This helps the AI
generate content aligned with the pedagogical standards of the IBDP.

02 Level: Indicate whether your students are SL or HL to ensure the

assessment has the right degree of depth and difficulty.

03 Topic: Decide which topic or topics you want the assessment to focus on.

04 Question format: State the desired format for the questions, such as multiple-
choice, short answer, essay, data analysis, etc

05 Sample questions: Include sample questions from a past paper to guide

ChatGPT in getting the format, question style, and length right.

06 Markscheme: If you prompt it, ChatGPT will provide you with a markscheme!

Here is a template that incorporates all key elements in one prompt:

You are an experienced IBDP <subject> educator. Create an assessment for <SL/
HL><subject> students focussing on <topic>. Here is a challenging sample <question
format> question for you to understand the format and level of difficulty: <sample question>.
Create an assessment with <number> similar questions and make sure that you follow
the standard format for IBDP <subject> <question format> questions. Provide a
detailed markscheme for each of the questions.
Using the above template, you can seamlessly input the desired
persona, level, sample questions, and topic to generate an
assessment task for your students.

Persona
Example:
Topic

You are an experienced IBDP <biology> educator. Create an

assessment for <SL><biology> students focussing on <membrane
transport>. Here is a challenging sample <MCQ> question for you
to understand the format and level of difficulty:
Question Format
Level

<In the experiments performed by Meselson and Stahl, E. coli were

grown for many generations in 15N then for one generation in 14N.
What results for the DNA of the last generation showed that replication
was semi-conservative?

a. Both strands containing only 15N

b. Both strands containing only 14N

c. One strand containing only 15N and one stand containing only 14N 

d. Both strands containing a mixture of 15N and 14N in equal amounts

Answer C>

Sample Question

Create an assessment with 10 similar questions.

Provide a detailed markscheme for each of the questions.

A few important points to keep in mind:

01 The output quality is influenced by the version of ChatGPT you use. For

instance, ChatGPT 4 typically provides more refined results compared

to its predecessor, 3.5.

02 If you’re working with ChatGPT 3.5, introduce marking rubrics or students’

work one at a time to get the most cohesive and detailed outputs.

03 Even if you specify a word count for an assessment, it may not meet

your requirements. Don't hesitate to correct the bot!

04 For Group 2 subjects, be specific in your prompt. ChatGPT may not

always equate Language B with a foreign language. Mention the

proficiency level (e.g., A2 to B1 for ab initio, B1 or B2 for SL, and B2 or

C1 for HL) to get the most accurate lesson plans.

05 Assessment formats vary across DP subjects. When creating prompts for

IBDP-style assessments, you might need to adjust the elements - not all

elements are necessary for every subject.

06 You may find it challenging to create papers where supplementary

material is required (like maps in geography, graphs in economics or

diagrams in science).

07 The beauty of ChatGPT is its interactive nature. Don’t hesitate to ask

follow-up questions to refine your assessments

Creating in-class
assessments
Because assessment always starts in the classroom, let’s focus on how to use
AI to design meaningful in-class assessment tasks. Whether you are
evaluating student understanding of a topic or honing the vital skills
necessary to ace the DP exams, this section provides insights and actionable
prompts for incorporating AI seamlessly into your teaching approach.

Prompts to check for understanding

This section offers prompts to design a variety of engaging tasks to
gauge your students' understanding of key concepts, providing you with
unique approaches to quick formative assessments.
Here are prompts to create:

 Prompts to assess subject-specific skills

Each IBDP subject formally assesses a distinct set of skills, as detailed in the

subject guides. Tailoring assessments to develop these specific skills—such as

critical thinking, scientific knowledge, and research skills—not only aligns with

curriculum standards but also aids in developing ATL-focused assessments.

Here are 2 prompts to get you started:

Prompt 1:

To assess subject-specific skill

You are an experienced IBDP <subject> educator. Create a <number> minute activity

to test students' application of <skill> in the context of the topic <topic>.

Prompts to create differentiated assessments

Differentiating assessments is crucial as it acknowledges and caters to the individual

needs of students, thereby enhancing learning by addressing diverse abilities. AI is

particularly effective in customising assessments, ensuring that each student receives

support that is specifically tailored to their unique learning requirements. In this section,

we have created 5 prompts to ensure that your students receive tailored support.
Prompt 1:

To scaffold age-appropriate reading (ESL)

You are an experienced IBDP <subject> educator. Rewrite the following resource for a student

with a reading age of <age> years old. Produce a list of keywords with simple definitions to go

with the text as well as a simple summary of the resource.

sections of the IB <extended essay/subject internal assessment>, with explicit instructions on

language choices and argumentation, for an <extended essay/internal assessment> in <subject>.

Click here to explore a scaffolding template for a theatre director's notebook

For the EE, ChatGPT may provide a section for the abstract which is no longer a requirement. Don't hesitate to
correct it! It may also advise students to include their names and candidate number. That should not be the case: IA
and EE submissions must be anonymous!
Feedback and feedforward
with ChatGPT
Here, we'll guide you on developing prompts that lead to insightful and constructive
feedback from ChatGPT, fostering your students' development. While ChatGPT doesn't
replace your expert judgement, it will significantly ease your workload!

Below are the key elements for constructing a feedback prompt:

01 Persona: Define the role you want ChatGPT to assume. This helps the AI
generate content aligned with the pedagogical standards of the IBDP.

02 Task instructions: Include details of the task that your students completed,
providing context for the assessment.

03 Student work: Paste the student work you wish to evaluate. For better
accuracy, it's recommended to paste student responses individually.

04 Rubric: Provide the details of your marking rubric to guide ChatGPT in

aligning its feedback with your assessment criteria.

Do not forget to anonymise the students’ work!

H ere is a template that incorporates all key elements in one prompt:

You are an experienced IBDP <subject> educator. You have given your
students this assessment task: <paste student work here>

 ChatGPT: A student’s dialogue partner

ChatGPT can mimic anyone from book characters to scientists, offering a

unique, interactive learning tool for DP students. Below are some group-
specific examples you can share with your students.

01 Group 1 (Language and literature): ChatGPT can assume the roles of

authors or characters, enabling students to delve deeper into literary texts
through interactive discussions.

02 Group 2 (Language acquisition): As a conversational partner in the target

language, ChatGPT offers students valuable speaking practice, acting as a native
speaker to enhance language fluency.

03 Group 3 (Individuals and societies): In subjects like History, ChatGPT can

role-play historical figures or experts, fostering critical engagement and a
deeper understanding of historical events and perspectives.

04 Group 4 (Sciences): ChatGPT can be a virtual lab assistant or any famous

scientist, guiding students through experiment protocols, and data analysis, and
offering support in scientific inquiries.

05 Group 6 (The Arts): For creative projects, ChatGPT helps as a research assistant,
suggesting creative ideas and materials, and aiding in the planning of artistic
endeavours.

06 Core (TOK): ChatGPT becomes a partner in Socratic dialogue, challenging

students' thinking and helping them construct and refine their arguments in TOK.

Ethical and responsible
use of ChatGPT
Ethical and responsible use of ChatGPT in the classroom requires understanding and
adherence to certain guidelines. Students must be aware of the ethical limits of using
AI to support their work. This section provides direction for educators and students to
responsibly navigate the use of ChatGPT.

Academic malpractice
When submitting work to the IB, the use of AI tools is acceptable, but students must
reference them. Failing to mention it can be construed as a case of academic
malpractice and result in the student losing their Diploma. While tools like Turnitin
are available to detect academic misconduct, teachers are often best equipped to
identify it. Here is some basic guidance to avoid the unreferenced use of ChatGPT
Ensure the submitted work aligns in quality with the student's other submission
Regularly monitor and discuss the progress of the work with student
Conduct viva voces: if a student can articulate the content of their work, they are
likely the author

Citing and referencing AI

Just like any other resource, AI-generated pictures, graphs or tools must be
appropriately referenced by students when used. Here is how students can
appropriately reference the use of AI (using Harvard referencing):

In text: (NAME OF AI TOOL, year)

Example: (OpenAI ChatGPT, 2023) in brackets after the sentence/paragraph in

which it was used.

Reference list: NAME OF AI TOOL, year.”[Title of the response or question]”. In

ChatGPT. Retrieved on [date] from [URL]

Example: OpenAI, 2023. “Harvard Referencing for ChatGPT”. In ChatGPT.

Retrieved on 22 November 2023, from ChatOpenAi

 Recognising AI’s boundaries

It is also important that educators clearly articulate to students the limitations of AI:

01
AI can be biased. At the end of the day, it relies on information it has gathered
from the Internet, where certain communities or languages are underrepresented

02
AI can be wrong. Although it is getting better, it is occasionally inaccurate and has
been known to invent facts and people

03
The information generated by ChatGPT is only as good as the prompt provided by
the user. It is therefore important to teach students the art of crafting good prompts

04
AI’s writing style is often unnatural. Whilst this can be adjusted through careful
prompting, it will likely not capture the authenticity of students’ voices

05
AI, and particularly ChatGPT, struggles to sustain the quality of the output with very
long prompts. It works better with shorter chunks of text.

Just like every other tool available for learning, AI needs to be used selectively
and critically.

AI can also be a valuable tool for
