As generative AI transforms the educational landscape, traditional assessment methods face unprecedented challenges. Kairos offers specialized consulting to help schools and educators develop "ludic rigor"—creative, human-centered assessment strategies that respond to AI disruption by returning to the foundational strengths of in-person education: authentic interaction, collaborative learning, and genuine intellectual engagement.

Our approach moves beyond AI-detection software to create assessments that are inherently AI-resistant while maintaining academic rigor. Drawing on current educational research, neuroscience of learning, and authentic assessment theory, we help institutions design evaluations that motivate students to demonstrate real understanding through performance, collaboration, and creative application.

Our consulting is fully customizable to meet your school's specific needs, timeline, and faculty development goals. The following represents one comprehensive approach that can be adapted, scaled, or redesigned based on your institutional priorities:

Sample Professional Development Framework:

  • Keynote Presentations: "The Great Assessment Reckoning: Why AI Demands Creative, Human-Centered Design"

  • Interactive Workshops: Hands-on design sessions where faculty redesign AI-vulnerable assessments using ludic rigor principles

  • AI Vulnerability Audits: Comprehensive review of existing assessment practices with strategic recommendations

  • Department-Specific Workshops: Tailored sessions for individual academic departments

  • Implementation Support: Ongoing guidance as faculty pilot new assessment strategies

Core Assessment Principles We Adapt to Your Context:

  • Temporal constraints requiring real-time performance

  • Contextual specificity using classroom experiences and discussions

  • Collaborative elements demanding live negotiation and interaction

  • Process documentation that values thinking over final products

  • Creative applications requiring synthesis and original expression

Whether you need a single workshop, comprehensive faculty training, or ongoing consultation, we work with your team to design professional development that addresses your school's unique challenges while building faculty confidence in post-AI assessment design.
