There's a lot of chatter about employability skills in education, and most of it treats them like a separate agenda, something to bolt on alongside the actual curriculum. In my view, that's the wrong way to think about it.

I don't really think the problem with AI in Higher education is the AI itself. It's more that AI is exposing the structural and assessment issues with our education model: Assessments that test output rather than process, and classes built around presenteeism. That's what we need to fix.

Just wrapped up two incredible days at the University of Stirling’s annual Learning and Teaching Conference. One of the highlights? Presenting my first ever conference poster. It explored a new assessment method I introduced in my Law module at the International Study Centre: ⚖️ A mock trial.

I've been practically radio silent on here of late (it happens) but i've had at -least- four thoughts this week about developing an AI Literacy framework for students...thinking about ethical use, refocusing on the purpose of assessment...negotiating the want for a blanket ban?

Today's "brief" discussion of feudal property habits very quickly degenerated into a a 'discussion' about landlords and paying rent and maybe a smidge of socialism Ooops?

So I am becoming increasingly convinced that the vast majority of educational responses to AI are letting students down... I'll probably write something about it, but that's this mornings #BusThought #EduSky

The outputs of generative artificial intelligence (generative AI) are often called “synthetic” to imply that they are not natural but artificial. Against that use of the term, this article focuses on ...

With apologies for the October hiatus, I wrote an entry in my newsletter reflecting on a queer literature course I had the chance to design, and on the lessons queer and trans history can teach us about refusing abandonment.

Refusing Abandonment
In the fall of 2023 I had the chance to revive and redesign my discipline’s course on LGBTQ literature. I was excited and nervous. I knew it was a course...

Do we like cats here? This one has 3 legs, belongs to the house across the road, and regularly comes to inspect our house to ensure the heating is working and we have a sufficient supply of biscuits

January will mark 5 years of teaching...a deeply rewarding 5 years, all told! I feel like only now am I starting to really settle into a style and rhythm that i'm happy with, and yet every day these students surprise and amaze me with their resilience and drive (most of them)... long may it continue
