Director of Institutional Research and Assessment Urban College of Boston, United States
What if assessment wasn’t an afterthought but something built into every project from the start? This session will introduce an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered assessment agent designed to support faculty and staff as they plan, align, and evaluate their work. Trained on institutional templates and strategic priorities, the agent offers real-time support for developing outcomes, mapping curriculum, analyzing results, and generating reports. It helps users think through success measures and alignment early in the process, reducing friction and preserving institutional memory. Rather than automating reflection, the agent frees up time and energy for it. Built at a small college with limited capacity, this project offers a practical, adaptable model for integrating AI into institutional effectiveness efforts. Join us for a fast-paced, honest, and slightly humorous look at how AI can help make assessment less of a burden and more of a built-in tool for improvement.
