Abstract

A Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT) was developed in 2022 by OpenAI. It is a chatbot which utilises an advanced natural language processing system to respond to questions and engage in conversations with users. The Artificial Intelligence (AI) has received over 1.6 billion visits since its inception and this triggered various debates in higher education. Its impact on student assessment being at the core of the discussions. Despite this fundamental debate, limited research has been conducted to explore the impact of ChatGPT on assessments. The research paper adopted mixed methods approach using online questionnaires and semi structured interviews. Descriptive statistics provided an overview of the extent of ChatGPT's influence on assessment design and the types of modifications made. Inferential statistical techniques, such as chi-square tests and analysis of variance (ANOVA), are also employed to examine potential differences in ChatGPT's influence across faculties/fields. Furthermore, thematic analysis, was conducted on interview data to identify recurring themes, patterns, and variations in educators' perceptions and experiences related to ChatGPT's impact on assessment design. Ultimately, it provides recommendations on how higher education institutions and academics could respond to ChatGPT and other similar chatbots in relation to assessments.
