I know little about dyscalculia and have done a bit of google scholar research and I am not much wiser. I have a student on a stats course with this so I'd be grateful to hear of any resources and guidance on teaching and assessment that would help them.

Excited to share our new paper!

We call for the field to adopt a more inclusive understanding of rigor. One that values diverse epistemological lenses and research designs

A nice day to arrive in St. Andrews so welcome (or welcome back). Don't worry, you don't need to make friends, you will discover them. A good start is to knock on your neighbour's door though.

New study reveals cognitive costs of LLM-assisted essay writing. EEG shows weaker brain connectivity in LLM users vs. Search Engine & Brain-only groups. LLM users also reported lower essay ownership & struggled with quoting. Findings urge caution in AI reliance in education
