Encouraging (and providing accessibly ways for) students to experience other cultures and ways of teaching & learning is a fantastic tool for broadening horizons and improving understanding & tolerance.

It was a travesty that #Brexit meant the end to the UK's involvement in #Erasmus and it's heartening to see this bridge being rebuilt.

UK, welcome back to Erasmus+ πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

The EU and the United Kingdom sealed the deal to bring the UK back into Erasmus+ from 2027.

We are rebuilding opportunities for the next generation to study, work and grow together, giving people the chance to connect across borders once again.

It will also help create and deepen partnerships between our academic institutions.

Together again through learning, exchange and connection 🀝

The actual state of death becomes visible when demands for modifications of the program cannot be intelligently answered."
-Naur, 1985

I feel like this essay should be taught alongside Twitter as a case study.

Bloody hell. Researchers invented a disease, published two fake papers to see if LLM’s would ingest them and kick them up as fact β€” and then it broke containment and all the major AI’s bought in. Information pollution. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Scientists invented a fake disease. AI told people it was real

Bixonimania doesn’t exist except in a clutch of obviously bogus academic papers. So why did AI chatbots warn people about this fictional illness?
