Love when reports say we must "blend machine efficiency with human judgment" like that's just a toggle in System Preferences. Hang on, let me uninstall alienation and reinstall epistemic humility. 🧠🔧 #AI #EdTech

I had a sort-of nightmare. I was at a Ben WIlliamson lecture and he said he was stepping down bc he couldnt fight the AI onslaught anymore. I shouted out how can he be forced to step down and many other people will lose jobs bc of this? Unis are bankrupt, yet pay £m to bigtech for chatbots.

What we're reading:

"Asked to generate intervention plans for struggling students, AI teacher assistants recommended more punitive measures for hypothetical students with Black-coded names and more supportive approaches for students the platforms perceived as white, a new study shows."

We know that educators are bombarded with (VC-funded) hype about AI tools as magical solutions. Please don't take these claims at face value and do your own due diligence. 1/4

Question Bank Bulktags

Updating the tags on a single #Moodle #quiz question with 4 tags can be time consuming. It typically takes 9 clicks to update a single question. If you have a category with 20 questions that is 180 clicks. And of course there is a good chance of making a mistake.

My question bank #bulktags plugin has been accepted into the plugins database and it can reduce that task down to 10 clicks.
