Homecoming at Maryville College is this weekend. I’ve curated my first display with the kind help of our archivist.
The image shows a vertical display case of five shelves. Pictures of the Smith sisters, along with short bios and letters, illustrate their contributions to the community.

We found that AI tools - both general like #ChatGPT and research-specific like #Elicit - lack the reliability, relevancy and accuracy to summarise research for teachers. This is important because we have been sold the idea that AI will make research more accessible.
