Spolier alert: Puff piece from Nature: https://nature.com/articles/d41586-023-03479-4. It fails to recognise that Gen AI content detectors are a technological and pedagogical dead end. Don't get me started on the Piagetesque sample size or comparisons with the coin toss accuracy of other 'detectors'

The amount of solutionizing edtechs and IDs have to do, and the rabbit hole it pushes is one of the main causes of the state of digital learning in HE. The ability to run a basic curriculum and learner analysis & identify learning & need gaps should be mandatory in this job.

Reduced, Reused and Recycled: The Life of a Dataset in Machine Learning Research

Benchmark datasets play a central role in the organization of machine learning research. They coordinate researchers around shared research problems and serve as a measure of progress towards shared goals. Despite the foundational role of benchmarking practices in this field, relatively little attention has been paid to the dynamics of benchmark dataset use and reuse, within or across machine learning subcommunities. In this paper, we dig into these dynamics. We study how dataset usage patterns differ across machine learning subcommunities and across time from 2015-2020. We find increasing concentration on fewer and fewer datasets within task communities, significant adoption of datasets from other tasks, and concentration across the field on datasets that have been introduced by researchers situated within a small number of elite institutions. Our results have implications for scientific evaluation, AI ethics, and equity/access within the field.

The Battle Over Bike Lanes Needs a Mindset Shift

Installing protected routes tends to boost local shops. But many store owners remain attached to their street parkingโ€”and fight to protect it.

Now that ChatGPT puts the spotlight on weak assessment practices that focus on the final product rather than process, Iโ€™m hoping that our plans to introduce an e-portfolio service will support a much needed move to more stepped, reflective and transparent assignments #ChatGPT
