Right before talking about my research design, I had a slide with this picture, simply titled "The plan?" During which I said 'if one person in the room gets this reference, it'll have been worth it' #PhDLife #NathanFielder

-AI is going to save teachers time, so they can spend more time teaching. -Right, so if you raise everyone's contact hours you can teach more students with fewer teachers, right? -No, so it's you can spend more time doing what you love. -I like teaching […] [Original post on mastodon.acm.org]

Think about the last lesson you taught. Did you use AI to plan it?

Completely 1%
Partially 17%
Not at all 72%
I can't remember 1%
Not relevant to my current role 5%
Not relevant/cannot answer 5%

(Yes, these last two are puzzling)

It's pretty telling of how much my nervous system has been trained by the web that I felt the urge to click, immediately countered by my red flag detectors, on the button illustrating the Wikipedia page for Dark Pattern (UX) #UX #Webdesign #UI #DarkPattern

Is it #SilentSunday yet? #Longexposure #photography #sunrise

A long exposure photograph of the sun rising over the Ain (France) countryside.

On the left, the corner of a playground, with a red rope climbing structure, like a pyramidal spider web, half out of frame, and a little house/slide.

Behind the hedge, at the mid-vertical horizon, which on the right turns into a metal fence, open hilly fields , with a tree line in the background.

The top half of the photograph is dedicated to the sky, burning orange orb dead centre, lighting up the sky in a gradient, with pretty much the full rainbow from the horizon to the top of the frame.

Midway to the right on the horizon, a couple of stacks merge and look like a figure waving, arguably the only thing moving in this landscape

"They're the same picture"

Two Google headlines: Chronicles of Higher Education - "Students are using ChatGPT to write their personal essays now "

And the Telegraph: "it's time Britain realised that going to university is a scam"
