When people learn with ChatGPT instead of following their own searches, they end up knowing less, caring less, and producing worse advice, even when the facts are the same. Friction is an essential ingredient for learning! Convenience makes us shallow. academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/ar...

Early career researchers who narrowly miss out on funding should be encouraged to try again because their work is often cited more than those whose research is funded first time around, a major international study has recommended #AcademicSky #highered

Our article (w/ Teppo Jakonen & Heidi Jauni ) on joint attention in #hybrid L2 #classroom group work has now been assigned to an issue in Applied Linguistics: academic.oup.com/applij/artic...

I interrupt this holiday to ask you to consider signing a petition calling for a halt to redundancies at Newcastle University. Britain's HE sector may have descended into a Hunger Games-style war of all against all, but your voice still matters: www.change.org/p/end-unnece...

Please read and kindly consider signing in support of academics at Newcastle University (including from our team in Applied Linguistics & Communication) who are facing the threat of redundancy this summer: www.change.org/p/end-unnece...

Partnering with AI in teacher education www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

A rush to embrace AI risks hampering universities’ net zero targets, with leaders being accused of generally overlooking the “hidden” huge environmental impact of the new technologies. @julietterowsell.bsky.social reports #AcademicSky #EduSky

”The role of a university cannot be reduced to supplying the labour force demanded by the current market. It must be a place that helps shape what we value in the first place…It means igniting the desire to study not only what is profitable, but what is meaningful.” wonkhe.com/blogs/our-fu...

It has been eye opening for me to listen to the perspectives of student-teachers on their use of an AI tool for #reflective #practice: Partnering with #AI in #teacher #education? Using an automatic question detection tool to reflect on #classroom #interaction: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
