We're hearing more & more sloppy talk about 'AI ethics' in education - 🎧🎙️ listen to me talk to @michalwieczorek.bsky.social for a philosophical take on the ethics of AI ... and why a lot of current ed-tech is ethically questionable! www.buzzsprout.com/1301377/epis...

Reduced feedback, and especially feedback that’s deliberately faded from specific to general, is a quiet but powerful way to shift responsibility from the teacher’s correction to the learner’s cognition. And that’s exactly what education is supposed to do.

What happens when you hit #menopause? Our scientists have found it's linked to loss of tissue in key brain regions, increases in anxiety and depression, and difficulties with sleep. New #research from @campsydept.bsky.social and @psychiatry-ucam.bsky.social#menopause👇 https://bit.ly/4t5zIyc

'I’m beginning to develop a firm conviction that teachers in higher education need to model and demonstrate to students how they themselves as academic professionals generate and use feedback information of different kinds.' Couldn't agree more!

A perspective on the current state-of-the-art of feedback literacy research: Mark Teng, editor of IJTS asked me to introduce feedback literacy to his readers, & its open access www.tesolunion.org/journal/deta...

A new publication by @lsedatascience.bsky.social's GENIAL Hub Team maps student use of #GenAI onto Kolb's learning stages (see link in comments). The study offers a framework that allows educators to assess whether each stage is catalysed, disrupted, or skipped due to interactions with GenAI tools.

Interesting paper reframing the issue of AI and assessment as a 'wicked problem'. It's a helpful lens to look at the issue but at the same time it left me wondering: where do we go from here? So I'm back to where I started... #GenAI #Assessment #WickedProblems www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

I went down a rabbit hole that took me all the way to my MRes dissertation and back... Reading about andragogy, I found out that the term was not actually coined by Knowles: it was first mentioned in the German book 'Plato's Educational Ideas' by the high-school teacher Alexander Kapp, in 1833. 1/5

Belonging can also mean being able to challenge dominant norms and discourses.

Death by spreadsheet - is that a thing?! I think it might be a thing... 😑☠️

Alex Steel from UNSW encourages a practical yet undervalued reflection for educators: - Why am I offering this assessment? - What course learning outcomes does it support? - What am I hoping they will learn? #HERDSA2025

Every frontier AI system should be grounded in a core commitment: to protect human joy and endeavour. Today, we launch LawZero, a nonprofit dedicated to advancing safe-by-design AI. lawzero.org

How do we navigate the tension between the need to prepare students for a world where #AI is ubiquitous and the need to ensure that engagement with this technology is ethical and sustainable? #EducationForSustainability #HigherEducation #EduSky #GenAI

"[W]e are on a trajectory to build machines that are smarter and smarter. And one day, it's very plausible that they will be smarter than us, and then they will have their own agency, their own goals, which may not be aligned with ours. What happens to us then?" #AI #SaferAI

I remember a colleague pointing out that students won't necessarily develop #InterculturalCompetence just by being part of a multicultural cohort - developing these skills needs explicit guidance and practice, as with language for learning. From @srhe.bsky.social : srheblog.com/2025/05/08/t...

Now that the GenAI hype is dying down, we are seeing some great analyses of how this tech is actually finding a place in higher education. Magda Pischetola (UCPH) is doing some really interesting research in this area - listen to her talk about it here! www.buzzsprout.com/1301377/epis...
