TEQSA just published 'Enacting assessment reform in a time of artificial intelligence'

We describe three pathways to assessment reform:

- taking a program-wide approach
- assuring learning in every unit/subject
- implementing a combination of these approaches

We're in a national race to build an #AI-ready workforce, but are we running in the wrong direction? 🤔

We need a national #learning agenda. A coordinated approach to addressing the numerous questions AI has raised about thinking and learning is now essential. www.linkedin.com/pulse/austra...

On #EducationalPsychology: “A vocal minority have linked our work with eugenics, Nazism, hyper-capitalism, totalitarianism and more. We are ‘boosters’ with agendas who want to make children suffer via robotic drill and kill. Nothing could be further from the truth.” blog.aare.edu.au/are-you-free...
Are you free atm? I'm so upset
Debates about evidence in education should be about the children in our classrooms. When we allow ad hominem attacks we close off inquiry.

#AI literacy is not the answer.

We're prioritising teaching students to use tools that won't exist in 5 years at the cost of developing the human skills that have mattered for centuries.

Wrong problem, wrong solution.

Just so we’re clear, when banks struggle financially, it’s left up to taxpayers to bail them out but when taxpayers struggle financially, banks are left to make record profits. Have I missed anything?
