For the life of them, students (mine anyway) cannot manage their time. I give them 3 weeks to do an assignment, coz u know, it can take that long, and they all get started on it 2 days before the deadline. Will break it up into 3 submissions next time!!!

Agentic AI is here: What does it mean for online education? This was a stimulating conversation with John Nash and Jason Johnston of the Online Learning Podcast. Note: agentic AI browsers do way more than the custom chatbots sometimes called agents. www.onlinelearningpodcast.com/e/ep-37-agen...

I'm not recommending agentic AI browsers, but I think educators need to understand what they are and how they can affect learning in digital spaces. In this free webinar for OneHE, I'll explore possible student and teacher uses and abuses of these systems. onehe.org/event/uses-a... #EduSky

"when decision-support systems are highly but not perfectly reliable, users become over-trusting, leading to a 12 percent increase in commission errors (e.g., accepting incorrect AI suggestions) and slower detection of rare anomalies." cmr.berkeley.edu/2025/10/seve...

Recently, the wonderful @tbertramgallant.bsky.social recorded a podcast interview with Hoda Mostafa & myself. Tricia's podcast is named after her book, "The Opposite of Cheating" and we focused on our perspective from Egypt #AIinEducation www.theoppositeofcheating.com/post/episode...

I always feel lucky when I get to share space with @mahabali.bsky.social, who has taught me so much over the years about making open education and our classrooms more hospitable to more learners. This episode is a joy and I hope you’ll enjoy listening as much as I did recording it.

I find it interesting (but not frustrating or upsetting) that my non-peer-reviewed writing (on blogs or similar) get cited more often than my peer-reviewed articles. The issue is of course that academia counts/rewards the citations of the peer-reviewed ones only. Not the usefuleness of all of it.

To be honest, I only made it through about a paragraph or so of Paul LeBlanc before I skipped ahead to @mahabali.bsky.social‘s insightful critique. We are supposed to see the launch of their LE-1 this month, so I guess we will see what they are overhyping right now…

I HATE when people compare AI to the printing press, it's so disingenuous. The printing press was opposed by the elites because it put power in the hands of everyday people, and popularized a vernacular. AI does the opposite, by allowing elites to bypass artists and laborers.

Not to constantly refer to one of my own translations, but Saitō's use of André Gorz's distinction between open and locking technologies is very pertinent here -- generative AI is locking tech masquerading as open tech

Brood parasitism is not a perfect metaphor, by any means, for AI, for the offloading of ed-tech development onto teachers and students, for the vampiric practices of VCs ... but it's the bird I went with to head this week's news round-up... 2ndbreakfast.audreywatters.com/brood-parasi...

“Why focus on how to improve when the verdict has already been delivered?” 📫 High school senior, Subhiksha Sreeram, describes the way grades cut off real learning. Her essay A Letter to Letters is the first of three winners in our Growth, Not Grades contest. growbeyondgrades.org/blog/a-lette...

Ep 2 of Learning Curve just dropped! This one looks at a new model for teaching with AI proposed by Paul LeBlanc, former president of SNHU, plus some reaction from longtime teaching expert Maha Bali. Can AI bots be part of teaching w/o cutting off human connection? learningcurve.fm/episodes/wha...

"You can no longer make students do the reading or the writing. So what’s left? Only this: give them work they want to do. And help them want to do it. What, again, is education? The non-coercive rearranging of desire." (Emphasis in original) archive.ph/PfvmB
