The Rigor and Relevance of Assessment: Blending Learning Science with AI


Listen Later

Traditional assessments are often rigid, resource-heavy, and fail to fully capture on-the-job impact. In this session, Garima Gupta, founder of Artha Learning and creator of AIReady, shares a practical blueprint for modernizing assessments without losing scientific rigor.

Drawing from her experience designing AI-enabled assessment systems for enterprise clients, Garima demonstrates how to keep the bedrock principles of validity, reliability, and fairness at the forefront, while using AI to scale assessment quality across thousands of learners.

She breaks down:

- Defining "Good": How L&D leaders can design assessments that measure and support learners. 
- Augmenting the Expert: Practical ways to use Generative AI as a drafting and refinement partner while keeping human oversight central.
- The Future of Feedback: How adaptive AI-powered assessments can provide personalized, real-time feedback that accelerates skill development at scale.

Garima’s message is clear: science comes first, and AI is the multiplier. This session will equip learning leaders with both the strategic lens and tactical playbook to transform assessments into a reliable driver of workforce capability and business impact.
