| Abstract: | AI is becoming increasingly more prominent in the vast majority of industries across the world and its inclusion within education can be expected. AI in education can be used for numerous functions from planning to enrollment trend predictions to grading. Whilst teachers' thoughts on AI in education have been discussed by existing literature, their opinions and preferences specifically on AI grading in universities have yet to be analysed. It was interesting to understand what assignments university teachers would use AI grading for and what impact that would have on their relationship with their students. To achieve this a series of interviews and a survey were conducted with teachers from the University of Twente. The study concluded that : (1) the majority of the participating teachers could imagine AI becoming a part of the grading process in university education mainly, due to the time-saving benefits it may offer to busy teachers. (2) AI is likely best suited for factual assignments which do not require creativity or a judgment call from the grader. (3) the impact that the introduction of AI would have on student-teacher relationships will be highly dependent on the AI's application. Specifically, how transparent teachers and universities will be with using AI and how well students understand as well as accept this technology. (4) no matter how AI is used during the grading process, the teacher must always remain the one responsible for a student's grade. |
