Ask, probe, assess: Viva questioning in the GenAI era

One recommendation for designing oral assessment in the GenAI era is to shorten the presentation to allow more time for the viva (Q&A).  But what makes a good question?  This workshop introduces a practical framework for designing and sequencing questions that clarify, probe, challenge, and extend students’ thinking.  Join us for an interactive discussion on the forms, purposes, and cognitive levels of effective Q&A questions.
