Navigating the New Landscape: A Conceptual Model for Project-Based Assessment (PBA) in the Age of GenAI
The rapid integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) into higher education presents both opportunities and challenges for assessment design, particularly within Project-Based Assessment (PBA) contexts. Traditional assessment methods often emphasise the final product in the PBA, which can now be significantly influenced or created by GenAI tools, raising concerns regarding product authenticity, academic integrity, and learning validation. This paper advocates for a reimagined asse…

Towards millimagnitude Photometry at the Vera Rubin Observatory: Aerosol Monitoring with Quadband Dispersed Imaging
As the frontier of precision astronomical photometry continues to advance, correcting for time-variable atmospheric transmission becomes increasingly important. We describe an observational approach to monitoring optical attenuation due to atmospheric aerosols, using a multiband filter and disperser on the Auxiliary Telescope at the Vera C. Rubin Observatory. This configuration allows us to perform simple aperture photometry on four notched-out spectral regions, covering 347 to 618 nm. We see c…
