My article, 'An AI-Driven Optimism for Transforming Higher Education (It's Not What You Think)' was just published today in Educause Review! #Ungrading #OpenPedagogy
Could artificial intelligence drive higher education institutions to dispense with grading and refocus attention on empathy and learning, thereby reshaping colleges and universities into dynamic hubs for global change?
Honestly, #BlueSky is ok. Here is ok. Both have risks. Neither is perfect.
Could we all (in both) just stop smugly predicting each other’s downfall for five minutes and celebrate that big numbers of people are really trying to find new places to feel at home and get heard and figure stuff out and keep each other safe from mischief. That’s the story here.
So, been watching these #HarrisVideo rallies all day. Women are really pissed off.
Trump kicked the hornets nest with his "whether they like it or not" comment. Women are energized and they are coming for him. Women are not going back.
Happy #OAWeek 2024! This year’s theme continues the call to put “Community over Commercialization” & prioritize approaches to open scholarship that serve the best interests of the public & the academic community. Click below for a schedule of events.
THIS IS A HUGE ACHIEVEMENT:
The EU now generates more electricity from wind and solar than from fossil fuels.

Let’s be explicitly clear.
The Electoral College exists because enslavers wanted to count their enslaved in their vote total without freeing them, much less giving them voting rights. That is the one purpose the Electoral College ever served.
Pro Electoral College is pro white supremacy. Abolish it.

Getting back to Dan’s original question: AI appears in a shiny suit to solve the problems of education because they are problems. We are surrounded with boilerplate text and templated outputs and formulaic work and valuing published words like we’re weighing fish catch because we made those rules, and because so much depends on preserving them. AI says “here let me help you with that,” and it’s seductive because it saves us from looking at our actual problems, which are deeply problems of manufactured competitiveness, vanity reward schemes and actual de-resourcing.
