There’s a lot out there from folks trying and suggesting and selling ways for teachers to put their fingers in the dike holding back the allegedly inevitable AI tide.

This week our institution launched a uni wide assessment framework.

The anticipation surrounding GPT-5 created a dizzying buzz among tech enthusiasts who were obsessed with the idea that true artificial intelligence, known as AGI, was imminent.

What matters most is where you're going to spend the margin

The technology is reshaping every aspect of university life. Fifteen scholars weigh in on what happens next.

Colleges are experimenting with making online teaching videos featuring AI avatar versions of professors. Some students find the simulated likenesses of their instructors a bit creepy, but proponents say the technology could be key to making college courses more active and human. The idea is that AI will make it easy to make personalized teaching videos so that more teachers can adopt a “flipped classroom” approach — where students watch video lecturers as homework so class time is spent on discussion or projects.

Some things you can't be polite about.

What I learned by moving to a test-forward approach

Are we tired of talking about this yet?

Generative artificial intelligence provides both opportunities and challenges for higher education. Existing literature has not properly investigated how this technology would impact assessment in higher education. This scoping review took a forward-thinking approach to investigate how generative artificial intelligence transforms assessment in higher education. We used the PRISMA extension for scoping reviews to select articles for review and report the results. In the screening, we retrieved 969 articles and selected 32 empirical studies for analysis. Most of the articles were published in 2023. We used three levels—students, teachers, and institutions—to analyses the articles. Our results suggested that assessment should be transformed to cultivate students’ self-regulated learning skills, responsible learning, and integrity. To successfully transform assessment in higher education, the review suggested that (i) teacher professional development activities for assessment, AI, and digital literacy should be provided, (ii) teachers’ beliefs about human and AI assessment should be strengthened, and (iii) teachers should be innovative and holistic in their teaching to reflect the assessment transformation. Educational institutions are recommended to review and rethink their assessment policies, as well as provide more inter-disciplinary programs and teaching.

It's not ideal and I have a lot of questions.

This post is the third in the Beyond ChatGPT series about generative AI’s impact on learning. In the previous posts, I discussed how generative AI has moved beyond text generation and is starting to impact critical skills like reading and note-taking. In this post, I’ll cover how the technology is marketed to students and educators to automate feedback. The goal of this series is to explore AI beyond ChatGPT and consider how this emerging technology is transforming not simply writing, but many of the skills we associate with learning. Educators must shift our discourse away from ChatGPT’s disruption of assessments and begin to grapple with what generative AI means for teaching and learning.

Giving feedback on writing shouldn't consist primarily of fixing problems. Good feedback depends upon a holistic understanding of the context, the writer, and…

Some are riding the AI wave. Others feel like they’re drowning.

When it comes to assessing student writing, ChatGPT merely makes an enduring problem more apparent.

A bunch of apps promise to detect ChatGPT. That's great! But before you go uploading student assignments to them, here are a few questions to ask yourself...— Phillip Dawson (@phillipdawson) January 17, 2023
