It was fantastic to work with co-editors @cwalkington.bsky.social @alyssaemery.bsky.social and @lingzhang.bsky.social and SO many leaders in ed tech, educational psychology, subject matter experts, and special education leaders who reframed their work thru a PL lens.

Chapter 3 is OPEN ACCESS (by Dec) and provides an extensible model readers can use to create their own PL designs. A Powerpoint slide to replicate the extensible model figure is here: tinyurl.com/Handbook-of-...

do publishers have secure spaces in which to direct those (unpublished) manuscripts (containing intellectual property of submitters)? Walled off even from their own other data spaces? Would love to know more...

Psychologists, apply! Apparently we've mainly gotten CS applicants so far. I'd (selfishly) love to have a psychologist. Interests in AI in relation to e.g., implicit bias; cultural influences; fairness; perception; learning & memory; decision making etc. would be a good fit!

Really good (gift) article on #GenAI and cheating. I appreciate how Victor Lee brings data, research history, and careful thought to this issue. We should be teaching individual responsibility and creating environments that decrease the likelihood of cheating. #PsychSky #EduSky #AcademicSky

I study AI cheating. Here’s what the data actually says.

Hi to both of you! It’s true that this design promoted a lot of behavior on the strategies we do recommend n the training. We don’t elicit much self report hut do have some data and they do suggest a shift toward active learning over the more common passive strategies.

If you've been wondering how people learn, or how things like GenAI affect how people learn, or how to help people teach and learn effectively, then you should talk to an educational psychologist. #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky youtu.be/Nm1EXUm023s?...

Where do folks publish new educational measures these days? I've been designing instruments to make it possible to quickly assess motivation and knowledge in classrooms, but now discover that it is nearly impossible to find a (Q1) journal in education that will review them. Any leads?
