Round 6 of chemo in the bag. I never thought I get to this point 🎉 My wonderful husband had balloons and flowers waiting in the car ♥️ Meeting the breast surgeon tomorrow to discuss the next part of the journey, but for this evening I’ll quietly celebrate this milestone #breastcancer @kenmccarthy.ie

From @hazelfarrell.bsky.social, this framework supports educators in redesigning assessments to ensure they remain valid, fair, transparent, and aligned with learning outcomes in an AI-enhanced educational landscape.

As GenAI continues to evolve and agentic systems emerge, assessment design in HE is entering a new phase. Detection-based responses are not sustainable. Structural redesign is. I’ve updated the Assessment Redesign Framework for 2026 to reflect this: arf.genain3.ie @kenmccarthy.ie #genai #assessment
