Which feedback do students appreciate most — from teachers, peers, or large language models like ChatGPT? Which type actually helps them improve their work? And how do students’ feedback literacy and motivation influence these effects? The answers we found in our randomized, blinded field experiment at Universität Zürich are now published open access at Computers and Education Open: https://lnkd.in/eQgnNu5z Thanks to my coauthors for the stellar collaboration Flurin Gotsch Kai Schudel Claudia Marusic Jennifer Mazzarella-Konstantynova Hannah Bolten #DarioBütler Simon Luger Bettina Wohlfender Katharina Maag Merki | 13 comments on LinkedIn

Time for some “life lessons.”…

I keep writing about the AI tech boom (and potential bust) for a few reasons. One, like many other people, my stock portfolio has long been filled with tech heavy stocks (which makes me feel like a genius). Two, it’s a boom that is powering a remarkable portion of the American economy. And three, a […]

Libraries worldwide are exploring or ramping up their use of artificial intelligence, according to a new report by Clarivate, a global information services company.

This is Sarah Jeong, features editor at The Verge. I’m standing in for Nilay for one final Thursday episode here as he settles back into full-time hosting duties. Today, we’ve got a fun one. I’m talking to Cory Doctorow, prolific author, internet activist, and arguably one of the fiercest tech critics writing today. He has a new book out called Enshittifcation: Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What to Do About It. So I sat down with Cory to discuss what enshittification is, why it’s happening, and how we might fight it.

Students – and all manner of professionals – are tempted to outsource their thinking to AI, which threatens to undermine learning and credibility. A philosophy professor offers a solution.

In January 2024, I asked an auditorium full of community college instructors to tell me which stage of grief resonated most when they thought about their relationship with AI. Here's what they said: 7%: Denial - AI is overrated. I'll just wait it out. 15%: Anger - AI is running amok and undermines critical thinking. 38%: Bargaining - I'd learn more about AI if I wasn't so darn busy. 3%: Depression - What I love about teaching is slipping away. 38%: Acceptance - I'm ready! Where's my AI teaching assistant? How do you think the results would shift if you posed this question to faculty today? Do you think your colleagues are feeling significantly *more* or *less* optimistic about AI than they were a year or two ago? If so, why? #facultydevelopment #ai #edtech

Meaningful relationships are about giving, not only receiving.

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.

In this video we show, for what feels like the hundredth time, that AI Overview is a product that should be taken off the market but that AI Mode is fairly r...
