iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

We need to re-energise independent learning, and demonstrate there are consequences for failing to learn. This is their education, not ours, as such.

But removing unnecessary friction of discomfort should be a good thing! The other thing is that we replaced independent student learning with (relatively) hand fed assessment tasks, like the ones you hated.

One way of thinking about it is to have spectrum of these higher stakes assessments- a greater proportion of oral discussions to sit down exams than is current, for example, stretches the range. But at the end of the day, student comfort is not a reason to collapse standards.

Less assessmebt, but observed assessment, works. Students actually learning for their own reasons, rather than being force-fed assessment works

Agree with the former, and rhe first part of the last sentence. But the second part is incorrect. Ai is just turbo contract cheating, and academia generally failed at proving that at anything like the scale it occurs at

You'll throw out rye grading curve!

It seems to me that the foundational 'wrong turn' in education was the increasing rhetoric from universities themselves and their supporters that the primary value of a university education was increased earning power. That leads pretty directly to this place we're in now.

Students are Flanders' mum in this instance. I dunno who is playing the desk like gene krupa

Stress is persistently treated as if its entirely generated by actions that unis take, and not actions students take.

I'm very publicly against the use of ai detectors, but I might suggest that most of the stress here is because students are using AI to complete assessments, en masse, let's be real. It's the same stress with exams- "I've done nothing and I'm all put of ideas." Save me the Helen Lovejoy schtick

"large language models such as ChatGPT were consistently advising women to ask for lower salaries than men in recruitment processes,... AI tools already in use by more than half of England’s councils were downplaying women’s medical conditions, potentially resulting in unequal care"

How tech turned against women

As AI-generated sexualised images proliferate and app-facilitated abuse spreads, we are sleepwalking into a new age of gender inequality. It is time to regulate properly

This is a new phenomenon and business model exploiting gaps in publishing. The cartel uses fake names to produce AI-written or plagiarised papers. Reference lists contain 100s of paid entries.If papers are retracted, no real authors are punished, and citations still count, even from retracted papers

History teaches us that the greatest harms often begin with the quiet acceptance of the unacceptable. I have seen where that road leads, and I will not walk it again without resistance.
