SLPs' Views of Using #VirtualReality for Managing Cognitive-Communication Disorders Following TBI - another wonderful PhD publication from Sophie Brassel! (with myself, @dr_epower, Andrew Campbell, & Leanne Togher) https://on.asha.org/3vNBeZ7
Speech-Language Pathologists' Views of Using Virtual Reality for Managing Cognitive-Communication Disorders Following Traumatic Brain Injury

Purpose: Using virtual reality (VR) to support rehabilitation is an emerging area of research that may offer people with communication disorders a stable and safe communication environment to practice their communication skills. There are currently no VR applications that have been designed to assess or treat cognitive-communication disorders (CCDs) following traumatic brain injury (TBI). Therefore, this study aimed to explore the views of speech-language pathologists (SLPs) who work with people who have a TBI to generate ideas and considerations for using VR in rehabilitation for CCDs. VR researchers were included to provide expert advice about VR technology.

"...AI will be making differential contributions to different candidates...". @[email protected] makes sense of algorithmic PhDs by looking at the difference that earlier technologies have made.
Will an AI soon be writing our PhDs?

Will an AI soon be writing our PhDs?

With major strides forward in AI (artificial intelligence/machine learning), computers are increasingly able to produce music, images and text. So you might wonder if soon we’ll have an AI th…

@NevilleMorley that's wonderful! I love it. Let us know how it goes. I think it's a great idea to introduce the class to a new tool like this and consider so many dimensions (after all, we tell them to use editing tools to help with their spelling and grammar!) - whatever you submit, you own - and it looks like if #ChatGPT can pass then we need to raise our standards of what is a pass in terms of critique, reflection and identifying limitations in what is submitted too @dr_epower
Thanks @BronwynHemsley for the idea of using GPT3 to make a teaching outline... you know, it's not bad at it. So I used Open AI GPT3 to make a podcast outline for the #OnTheReg pod @jasondowns and I are recording in a few weeks. I ended up structuring it around our conversation, so it's kind of an interview I guess... I must admit, It was pretty fun to talk to it and about hours faster than doing it on my own 👀 https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1qy-qM9s1GG3s_OgfuHZu77Q0T0TCXtPUDxCQrbJH2MM/edit?usp=sharing
