Education is not a product. The students are not customers. The professors are not tools. The University is not a factory.

The promise of AI in education is it will save educators time. That's rubbish. It's sapping all our time already in working groups, committees, workshops, and marking anxiety. It's the most time-sapping, exhausting and frankly boring thing I've ever encountered in HE - and it's in my research area.

Gestern fand ein Kamingespräch der KMK zum Smartphoneverbot an Schulen statt. Dazu bin ich vom MDR interviewt worden: www.mdr.de/nachrichten/... Einen kurzen Radiobeitrag gibt es hier: www.mdr.de/audio-289210... Langfassung hier: kalz.cc/2025/03/18/m...

Ein Thread zur wissenschaftlichen Evidenz hinter der im Moment intensiv diskutierten Verbannung von Smartphones aus Schulen. Langversion hier: kalz.cc/2025/03/18/m...

1/3 Anstieg bei Freiraum Einreichungen (9080 vs. 6033). Würde gerne mal eine Ähnlichkeitsanalyse der Abstracts mit Filter auf Institutionen durchführen. Losverfahren produziert leider auch Chancenoptimierungssktivitäten.

Gleich geht es los in unserer #didacta Session zu journalistischen Kompetenzen von Studierenden.

Beautiful piece of music w. a sad story behind: Olafur Arnalds/Talos & Friends: We didn’t know we were ready. Live with Talos: m.youtube.com/watch?v=Vi8g... Making of tribute: m.youtube.com/watch?v=9r3f... Live performance: m.youtube.com/watch?v=vREl... Release: m.youtube.com/watch?v=Vw2M...

The age of moneytocracy is unfolding and the end of institutions is coming. A very different version of freedom.

Oh my god! Ist das das neue KI-basierte Marketing, von dem alle sprechen? 😱

„So know that what you choose to stand for is what will inform you of what you’ve chosen to stand against, so stand.“ (Shane Koyczan, How to be a person) Let‘s all stand for our values of freedom and democracy and also stand against the destruction of those values. m.youtube.com/watch?v=qzkA...

The real problem with generative AI is not the hallucination of the large language models, but the hallucination of the millions of education experts about its use for learning.

Einige Gedanken zum KI-Campus kalz.cc/2024/05/09/k...

RIP Paul Auster. One of the few authors I have read nearly everything ever published.

New publication with Markus Knöpfel as first author and Patric Meyer as third author: General Problem-solving Skills Can be Enhanced by Short-time Use of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) journals.aau.dk/index.php/pb... #pbl #problemsolving #highered #analogies

Was für ein schöner Song über „Eltern sein“ m.youtube.com/watch?v=Vats...

And finally the plagiarized book „Educational Data Mining and Learning Anslytics“ has been retracted by the so called editors. link.springer.com/book/10.1007... Curious to see if there will be a retraction message at all.

CfP: Einreichung zur AG Mediendidaktik (in der DGfE-Sektion Medienpädagogik) noch möglich bis 15.04.!

BaWue übertreibt es dann doch etwas mit der „The Länd“ Kampagne: „The Bländed Learning“ 🤷🏼‍♂️

Skillflation Folge 214: Offenheitskompetenz. Wann kommt das Ende der rein normativen Kompetenzkataloge?

A masterpiece of invisible horror behind the shades of the banality of family happyness m.youtube.com/watch?v=r-vf...

This is a very inspiring set of tutorials for data analysis accompanying a book on learning analytics lamethods.github.io

Impressive stage today at the #icmandbeyond conference. Very nice atmosphere and hospitality.

W3-Professur für Medienbildung an der Pädagogischen Hochschule Heidelberg: www.ph-heidelberg.de/fileadmin/de... Bewerbungsschluss ist der 29. März und ich stehe für alle Fragen zur Verfügung. Nettes Team, tolle Stadt!

First trip with the Nightjet to Vienna. Very nice way to travel. #Bucketlist ✅

Das @learninglab-ude.bsky.social lädt ein: Treffen der AG Mediendidaktik (in der DGfE-Sektion Medienpädagogik) mit EdTech Research Forum, 29./30. August 2024, U Duisburg-Essen, Call for Paper: www.medienpaed.net/call-for-pap... und digi-ebf.de/etrf2024

Ich habe mich dehr gefreut, die Keynote zu geben zum Thema „What are Universities for? Ein kritischer Überblick zur Integration von überfachlichen Kompetenzen in Hochschulcurricula“. Der Diskurs zu überfachlichen Kompetenzen wird spannend und ich freue mich, diesen begleiten zu dürfen.

An early Christmas present: After years of shaky internet connection our house has finally been upgraded to glass fibre. I will no longer be the one with an unstable connection in meetings 😄.

And this one has a free educational edition with many online analysis options communalytic.org

Finally a reliable tool to coduct some basic social network analysis and text analysis with my students netlytic.org

Interesting visualisation of the academic life of professors by Susan Wardell. Finally an answer option to the question „What the hell are you doing all day?“

RIP Lucy (23.11.2023) 🥲

My keynote today at the University of Marburg on generative AI in education m.youtube.com/shorts/fzAe7...

I sometimes accept keynotes where my knowledge is half-baked at best to urge myself to deal systematically with a topic. Would a conference organizer belief that 12 hours of work went into a one-hour talk? Probably not…

Wear a mask in crowded places..it‘s not „over“. #corona

Am Rande des Symposiums "Brückenschlag: Lernprozesse in analogen, hybriden und digitalen Formaten" an der FAU Nürnberg-Erlangen hat Uwe Fahr mit mir ein Interview zur Nutzung von Peer-Feedback in der Hochschullehre geführt. 👇👇👇 www.fau.tv/clip/id/50178 #peerfeedback #feedback #campus

Good to see that Anne Will-Harzing´s application "Publish or Perish" is now available as a native Mac OS application harzing.com/resources/pu...

So beautiful and fitting to the current situation: Why don’t we speak with each other?

Very interesting editorial by Peter Goodyear: „An education in educational technology“ in AJET ajet.org.au/index.php/AJ...

I am happy about our new publication „Students’ feedback literacy in higher education: an initial scale validation study“ in Teaching in Higher Education. The study is result of a master thesis and was based on a collaboration with the Edutec group at DIPF. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

And finally a quantitative meta-analysis on effecs of OER on learning achievement: "The findings revealed that OER and OEP have a significant yet negligible (g = 0.07, p < 0.001) effect." Repeat with me: Licensing does not influence learning. Congrats to authors. doi.org/10.1186/s412... #OER

Had a great day yesterday in Nürnberg during two talks on implementation of peer-feedback in higher education and AI for teacher education. Some impression below (crossposted the picture from X/TWT by the way, original from here twitter.com/FBZHL/status...)

„OERs undermine educational content industries & jobs, pushing resource development into a mostly unpaid sphere, with a subsequent reduction in quality. The open education movement aligns with cuts in education funding, where ..paid efforts… are replaced by ..unpaid, supplementary labor of teachers“

(1/2) Doppelkeynote am Mittwoch an der FAU Nürnberg Erlangen: Morgens zu "Peer-Feedback - Brücke zu einer neuen Feedback- und Beurteilungskultur in der Hochschullehre?" als Teil des Symposiums "Brückenschlag: Lernprozesse in analogen, hybriden und digitalen Formaten".....
