Psychologists, apply! Apparently we've mainly gotten CS applicants so far. I'd (selfishly) love to have a psychologist. Interests in AI in relation to e.g., implicit bias; cultural influences; fairness; perception; learning & memory; decision making etc. would be a good fit!

Really good (gift) article on #GenAI and cheating. I appreciate how Victor Lee brings data, research history, and careful thought to this issue. We should be teaching individual responsibility and creating environments that decrease the likelihood of cheating. #PsychSky #EduSky #AcademicSky

Come work with us in Chapel Hill! Lots of great research, development, and meaningful partnerships are already underway... +3 city scenes, local lakes, and the ability to weekend in the mountains & on the beach! unc.peopleadmin.com/postings/305... Not involved in the search, but happy to chat!

If you've been wondering how people learn, or how things like GenAI affect how people learn, or how to help people teach and learn effectively, then you should talk to an educational psychologist. #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky youtu.be/Nm1EXUm023s?...

Where do folks publish new educational measures these days? I've been designing instruments to make it possible to quickly assess motivation and knowledge in classrooms, but now discover that it is nearly impossible to find a (Q1) journal in education that will review them. Any leads?

Excited to see everyone in Denver this week. Check out the awesome work being presented by our lab! New time/location for our symposium featuring work from @jasonmharley.bsky.social @mattbernacki.bsky.social and others with discussants Reinhard Pekrun and @kristinasto.bsky.social. Not to be missed!

Support for research drives US innovation *and* makes college more affordable: "The money that colleges and universities stand to lose is actually ... helping slow down the rising cost of college and providing desperately needed opportunity for lower-income students." slate.com/life/2025/02...

"Why should we fund #NSF research?" The Internet, microchips, Google, smartphones, barcodes, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Doppler radar, American Sign Language (ASL), GPS mapping... The innovations shaping modern life were made possible with help from the National Science Foundation (NSF).

University research and translation to practice benefits society. It's a wise investment. youtu.be/kXqrDcZxUpE?...

If you're an NSF PI like me, you might be wondering: Will my grant be suspended or terminated next week? A few key things to know: First off, remember that NSF is **congressionally mandated** to evaluate broader impacts. And laws like CHIPS and Science supersede EOs. But also... 🧵 thread

What a great podcast with Drs. @courtneyhattan.bsky.social & @kendeou.bsky.social on new approaches to the science of learning! Excellent work integrating sociocultural factors, dynamic systems, & how knowledge affects reading. Check out the podcast here, Apple Podcasts, or Spotify! buff.ly/3CKQcGs

Terracotta is a "plug-in" for Canvas LMS that makes it easy for researchers to conduct a randomized control study in classroom settings. Now it comes w/ new cool features (e.g., Qualtrics integration). Though the Canvas integration takes some time/effort, it is FREE, & they give you a lot of help.

It's pagination day for our latest self-regulated learning paper using learning analytics! doi.org/10.1037/edu0... with @jeffgreene.bsky.social. @shelbikuhlmann.bsky.social and @kellyhogan.bsky.social and many more great colleagues!

A policy raising the teacher salary floor in New Jersey boosted teacher pay statewide and led to improvements in student achievement and longer-term outcomes (most likely due to changes in the composition of entering teachers and teacher motivation) edworkingpapers.com/ai25-1104

Hi bsky! I'm excited to join this growing space and having conversations about how we can use digital tools to improve learners' ability to self-regulated their learning. Here's a new demo of how we study and teach students about the Science of Learning to Learn! link.springer.com/article/10.1...
