DP24 · ARC Discovery ProjectAssessment for Writing with Generative AI

Work Packages

Four tightly integrated work packages structure the project from co-design, through experimentation, to deployment at classroom scale.

WP1 · Co-design

Assessment & feedback design

  • Co-design with IT and Law educators and students.
  • Student model, task model, and evidence model specification.
  • Design of feedback representations for teachers.
Quantitative ethnographyInterface prototyping
WP2 · Lab studies

Controlled comparisons of GAI use

  • GAI vs. non-GAI writing environments in IT & Law.
  • Pre/post tests, surveys, and rich process trace data.
  • Network models of human–GAI writing processes.
Regression modellingEpistemic network analysis
WP3 · Field study

Real-classroom deployment

  • Deployment in existing IT and Law courses.
  • Teachers use analytics-driven feedback tools.
  • Evaluation of ecological validity and impact on teaching practice.
Ecological validityTeacher feedback analysis
WP4 · Analytics & GAI

Analytics backbone

  • Fine-tuned LLMs for IT and Law writing.
  • Classifiers for writing and SRL processes.
  • Automated writing quality scores & process visualisations.
