Learning designer, PhD candidate, writer, gardener, artist, part-time militant environmentalist. Bad at small talk, regular exercise, and maintaining my patience. I am tired of talking about GenAI. Longer rambles @ themindfile.substack.com

Assessment in the AI age. Is it even their work? Do they even care? What are we to do? USyd offers a two-lane approach: secure or open conditions. This doesn't sit well with me. Here's my attempt to explain why. #assessment #AIineducation #evaluativejudgement

The two-lane approach has us veering further off track
In the mad scramble to lock down assessment security and devalue the role of developmental assessment, have we lost the ability to trust students altogether?

Some editors are failed writers, but so are most writers.

This is the strategy to follow right now. Keep doing the thing, but as a consultant. The world needs you.

Why is it not ok to say no to GenAI? Yeah, I know they're slipping it into our drinks, so a hardline policy of "none for me thanks" is not going to result in an AI-free diet. But last time I checked, when someone ignored your choice not to consent, that didn't make your choice irrelevant.
Person with their open hand raised and spread in front of them. The word "no" is written in red on their palm.

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.
