Nice. The bird detector picked some up in my front garden (Lochee) a few years ago. Weren't back this year. Quite early for them?

It's a nice walk up there too..

Today starts with a field trip. Quite literally I am going to a field to test the solar birdnet detector. Then on to exam board jollities and other fun stuff.

Didn't see that one coming...

Lots of common whitethroat at the James Hutton Living Field. I have an audio detector there that can be monitored at biodiversidee.vercel.app or at app.birdweather.com

Yoou cant go chasing the robot (CnutAI) but instead learn how to teach and assess what you want rather than using the formulae of the past which was a very different time. Yes, when I was a student some profs wouldn't mark anything other than a handwritten piece b/c of copy and paste.

Nonsense. The line is impossible to draw unless you go back to handwriting everything. If we are educating for the modern age then we need to be assessing person and process, not product. Using an AI is fine, if you critically assess the output and are able to appropriately attribute.

The problem is they see the product as being what is assessed, not the person. And so they will produce a suitable product.
