Rather than pretending students can – or even should – avoid #GenAI to become critical readers, we need to develop their critical reading skills so they can successfully interrogate AI-produced materials. Read more from Brendan Carey at @exeter.ac.uk: timeshighereducation.com/campus/relea...

This was the first-ever CS50 Hackathon at Meta in London 🇬🇧, with workshops on AI, Llama, Wearables, and Number Games by CS50’s own @davidjmalan.bsky.social and Rongxin Liu, Oxford’s own @tomrocksmaths.bsky.social, et al. 💻

I was happy to contribute to this @timeshighered.bsky.social piece on students' use of #GenerativeAI. It's clear the AI genie is out of the bottle, but students should not outsource their brains and use it as an educational silver bullet. We still need to build critical skills first.

Great evening at Meta’s London office with @davidjmalan.bsky.social, @tomrocksmaths.bsky.social, @cs50.harvard.edu and @oxfordconted.bsky.social teams!

Early evidence shows AI has big educational potential, but more in-class tests is a reasonable response to AI cheating risks as we figure out what to do next

Low-stakes testing is a powerful learning (not just assessment) tool. Tests help you remember better, access unrelated knowledge & learn more

A "one and done" approach to assignments doesn't reflect professional practice across many sectors. Computer programming tutors offer a 4-step approach to more meaningful #assessment involving AI-assisted evaluation, group discussions and presentations: www.timeshighereducation.com/campus/authe...

Today in @theguardian.com, our research has revealed that UK universities educate the most national leaders globally, despite job cuts, course closures and a fall in foreign students. Read the full article that demonstrates the unrivalled impact of UK HE.

Really interesting piece this week in University World News from Dr Victoria Moody, director of HE and research, on the importance of UK research moving towards fully open and reusable data.

This week on Wonkhe: Tom Perou explores how educational podcasts can be used to support commuter students to learn on-the-go.

We've collaborated with Prof Simon Walker (@unisouthampton.bsky.social) to explore emerging trends in assessment within the rapidly evolving HE landscape. It sheds light on challenges, opportunities & innovative approaches shaping the future of assessment, particularly in digital transformation & AI

"If learning could be as addictive as gaming, I wouldn’t need to worry about students missing classes!" Writes Lim Keong Teoh of @uniwinchester.bsky.social as he shares four #teaching innovations he uses to motivate his students www.timeshighereducation.com/campus/four-... #highered #academicsky

If you think that the world is moving too quickly now, wait until you read this. In 5~10 years time it could be 🤯
