The shift is coming. Just like the internet changed how kids access information, the old way is out.
My wife is an educator and we have long discussions about this. I believe lessons need to be upgraded to require AI and how to interact and prompt it for deeper meaning of more than just "Find the value of the hypotenuse". Something in the form of controlled modules?
Testing can stay exactly the same, i.e. no computers/ai, but learning has to be completely shifted.
Given the usage of LLMs to rank answers to questions, I think testing could shift as well. Having an LLM (operating with good faith prompt, eg trying to genuinely discover a level of understanding from a student) have a back and forth with a student to evaluate a level of comprehension of a topic could be more supportive of students than traditional testing.
Validation of the LLM to do such a task reliably would be large undertaking, but seems like something that might be possible in the future.
The general issue I have with LLMs in testing is scoring/grading. Since the experience will be different for each test, someone or something will have to grade it individually by reading and "understanding their understanding".
