Everyone talks about how generative AI helps students. Almost no one asks how it might hurt them. We reviewed 224 papers on GenAI in computing education to see what’s being ignored.

Our recent work shows how AI is undermining social interactions and eroding learning communities! 😬

1. Help exchanges are now largely mediated by AI
2. Help from AI is replacing support from friends

Students now feel isolated and receive less mentorship, reducing access to the hidden curriculum

When I guest lectured in an undergrad Algorithms class I needed to explain why I was talking about ethics in such a theory-heavy class.

I explained the mysterious work in #Severance and asked, don't you think it matters what your algorithm's used for? You don't sort numbers for the heck of it.

It’s very disappointing to see major universities using AI art for promotional material when there are students who could create incredible work and deserve that recognition

Last night felt like a movie 🍿 We had our first lab meeting with some of the new students joining for Spring 2025.

What a feeling to see so many first-year undergraduate students so excited to start their research journeys.

First post! 👋

I can't wait to find all my #HCI #ComputingEducation and #AssistiveTech friends and to make some new ones.
