davecormier.com/edblog/2026/... I do not think that the right question about what we need to do for our education system has the acronym AI in it. A human centered model for discussing AI in assessment.
It's a VENN diagram. The top left circle of the diagram is yellow an the question "did they do it?" is in that circle. The top right circle is blue and has the question "Have they learned?" in it. The joint box between the top left circle and the top right circle has "quality assurance" in it. The bottom circle of the venn diagram is green and has the question "are we helping" in it. The connecting space between the top right circle and the bottom right circle says "good assessment". The overlap between the top left circle and the bottom circle says "student enagement" The middle, where all three circles overlap says Human centered assessment. It has a title on the bottom left "a human centered model for discussion AI in Assessment" and says Dave cormier CC by 2026

What is the word for things that are both embarrassing and exciting at the same time? As I head off for a short vacation, I, for the first time, am leaving behind a totally empty inbox.
This is an image that has the microsoft icon for inbox and the text "all done for the day. Enjoy your empty inbox" on it over a white background.

A new adventure begins. First day on site at TRU. Bags got lost en route, but my enthusiasm has not. Wish me luck :)

It's a chart made up of five boxes, starting with a single box that says Learner. Arrows go in two directions. To the left the arrow goes to 'doesn't give a shit*' and then a further arrow from that one that says "nothing else" to the right from learner the arrow goes to "gives a shit" with a further arrow that goes to "everything else" The title of the chart is "dave's secret theory of good learnin'". 

The chart implies that learning is all about how much a student cares about learning.

Spending the morning trying to explain complex ideas that don't have solutions in the hopes that people who want solutions will accept that there aren't any. Sometimes I wonder if life didn't have simpler paths than this one :P
This image has two pigeons looking down staring into the camera with the ceiling of what might be a church behind them? They are too close to the camera and staring quite intensely. The caption text says "are you up yet?"

Spent the afternoon reading/thinking about how GenAI strategies are going.
It is a picture of an empty room with "please do not move furniture. Thank you." signs. Caption text says "reacting to GenAI with more rules"

"Is better learning 'more efficient' or is it about students actually wanting to be in class?" davecormier.com/edblog/2024/...
