I've been testing the accuracy of LLMs in transcribing printed and handwritten historical texts stored as images. I put together a corpus of 400 pages from the Library of Congress. Current leader is GPT4.1-mini, which at 11 cents per 1K pages, is also the cheapest option. github.com/nealcaren/In...

My colleague Sue Attewell leads our stream of work looking at staff and student perceptions of AI. In a new blog post the focus is with a group of pre-sessional international students. nationalcentreforai.jiscinvolve.org/wp/2025/09/0...

Interesting read by @carlessdavid.bsky.social (2025) Feedback Literacy Concepts and Practices: Toward Academic Feedback Literacy, Change: The Magazine of Higher Learning, 57:5, 5-11, DOI: 10.1080/00091383.2025.2539038

Useful article about transmission style lectures and the assumptions that both students and teachers have. The illusion of attendance: a critical study of large-class lectures" by @colinloughlin.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... #AberPGCTHE #EduSky #AcademicSky

Favourite article for #AberPGCTHE. In my seminar, they read Chew's article in advance. I start with quick retrieval practice of the 7 points. Then they type examples from their own experience into a shared doc and we discuss. My students are mostly new HE lecturers.

Join our symposium on "Cognitive and Motivational Individual Differences in the Effectiveness of Desirable Difficulties" today at 12:15 in HS01.15. #earli2025 Looking forward to discuss the interesting work presented as part of this symposium.

Anyone feel uneasy about the methods we are required to use to prove that we're an adult? Just curious!

Love that feeling when I'm marking student projects and come across one that is spot on - deep analysis, great use of sources, reflective, and deep insights into how students learn. These are our golden moments! #AberPGCTHE

Academic staff working at Cardiff University have been so traumatised by the management of a hugely controversial cuts programme that some have contemplated suicide or having an abortion ✍️Martin Shipton

Latest #WeeklyResourceRoundup another harvest of resources and online events to support teaching in higher education wordpress.aber.ac.uk/e-learning/2... #AberPGCTHE #EduSky #AcademicSky

Essentially, "Here's your bespoke bot" should be read as, "Don't expect access to your professors or interaction with your classmates."

2 days to go before the #LTHEchat this week! This week we will feature @louiserees.bsky.social who will consider “Exploring the use of Gen AI to visualise reflective accounts” Check out the blog for more details:

“When you interact with an AI system repeatedly, the AI system is not just learning about you, you’re also changing based on those interactions,” said Hannah Rose Kirk, an AI researcher at the University of Oxford wapo.st/3Z9UBeg

New #WeeklyResourceRoundup packed with online events and resources to help us teach effectively in HE wordpress.aber.ac.uk/e-learning/2... #AberPGCTHE #EduSky #AcademicSky

Great, thanks Paul! I'll have a read and consider this as an item to link in the next #WeeklyResourceRoundup

That reminds me of this game, which has been played with big groups uofgadd.team/al-hub/case-... #LTHEChat

Another useful article about how we can support the teaching staff in supporting their students' learning. Read the peer-reviewed article (link in blog post) for images of what the storyboarding technique looks like in practice #AberPGCTHE

How has scholarly research produced knowledge about self-assessment – and the 'selves' of self-assessment, students? Years in the making, our meta-review and discourse analysis of student self-assessment research with David Boud has been published www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

new paper by @roger-beaty.bsky.social and others looking at how creative AI-generated output can be. arxiv.org/abs/2505.14442

Very good

Thanks to @lthechat.bsky.social @kellytrivedy.bsky.social and all the partisans for another stimulating #lthechat!

It’s today! Come along tonight at 8pm BST if you’re free! #LTHEchat #academicsky

Details available for #MYFest25, a summerlong festival supporting inclusive and effective teaching. @equityunbound.bsky.social The programme includes some great speakers. Useful source of CPD for #AberPGCTHE folks and others developing their teaching practice. Thanks, @mahabali.bsky.social

AI chatbots are stoking spiritual mania and supernatural fantasies, with consequences for real-life relationships, @milesklee.bsky.social reports. In AI, people “have an always-on, human-level conversational partner with whom to co-experience their delusions.” www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

LLMs reduce cognitive effort. Students like using AI because they make learning "easier", but that ease can lead them to avoid deeper thinking. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

The last thing I want is for us all to get stuck in an endless generative AI loop where AI does everything. This is not what I mean when I talk about using generative AI for research and writing. This is lowest common denominator stuff "AI Wheel of Death" by James Bedford (2025)

“What all of these stories have in common is that someone oversold an automated system, people used it based on what they were told it could do, and then they or others got hurt.”

Super pleased to share our latest publication “Generative AI in Higher Education: Balancing Innovation and Integrity” how #GenAI is reshaping learning, assessment, emphasising the need for ethical frameworks to maintain academic integrity. @nigelfrancis.bsky.social & Sue Jones tinyurl.com/y384wfvw

I worked through Martin's earlier version of this free online course, and found it useful and practical. Based on that experience, I highly recommend this new one to any teachers who want to develop AI literacy. #AberPGCTHE
