Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) are increasingly relying on AI-generated quizzes uploaded to a Learning Management System (LMS) – a quick AI prompt, a neatly generated quiz, and up it goes, job done. Except…it isn’t.  

While AI-generated assessments can be comprehensive and substantively sound, simply uploading them to an LMS without thoughtful adaptation often results in poorly designed, generally non-compliant assessment tools. 

Let’s be honest. AI is no longer some future-focused concept sitting off to the side waiting for us to catch up. It is already built into the tools people use every day to write, search, plan, create, communicate and solve problems. That is exactly why DigComp 3.0 matters for our vocational education and training (VET) sector.

One of the biggest shifts in the updated framework is that AI has been added and embedded across digital competence quite broadly. For RTOs, that matters because there is a clear framework about what digital competence is. It is about whether learners can participate effectively, safely and critically in increasingly digital learning and work environments.

Ensuring academic integrity is essential for maintaining the credibility of qualifications and the trustworthiness of the VET system. Academic integrity encompasses a range of values and principles, including honesty, responsibility, and the respectful and fair treatment of ideas and work produced by others.
