This is for @josheyler.bsky.social: “Several peer institutions recently imposed limits on the number of As instructors can give in a subject. We do not advocate this kind of grade rationing, in part because we expect it to be counterproductive in helping the Institute navigate the challenges of AI.”

MIT report is superb. It acknowledges disruption, concedes different disciplines will handle this differently, foregrounds people and social interaction — but also says something obvious I had just about given up hope institutions could say: aiandeducation.mit.edu/report/

We need more student voices in the discourse & debates about grades. Check out this new #TeaForTeaching episode, featuring students from my Syracuse University honors seminar, "Problems with Grades." #ungrading teaforteaching.podbean.com/e/the-proble...

This is *essential* reading. Many of us in Mississippi have been shouting into the void that the "Mississippi Miracle" is a mirage created by an increase in standardized test scores that does not map onto meaningful learning, particularly as it relates to reading comprehension.

Megan Greenwell@greenwell.bsky.social · 2mo ago

WIRED sent me to Mississippi to report a different kind of feature about reading. Why are third-graders there acing standardized tests but older students are still struggling with comprehension? What does measuring "literacy" even mean?

Ok we don't do a lot of documentaries at Historians At The Movies but apparently a lot of the #HATM crew are in this series so lets do the first episode. Join us on Netflix this Sunday June 28 at 8pm eastern for THE AMERICAN EXPERIMENT. Be free and share this post. youtu.be/KM9XnXblZjk?...

It was a true honor to bring student voices into the scholarly conversation about grades via our "Problems with Grades" panel yesterday at @thegradingconference.com. Their insights were soooo insightful & important. #GradingCon26

Looking forward to debuting a new workshop at James Madison University Center for Faculty Innovation's May Symposium! Drawing on #SnafuEdu (@oupress.bsky.social).

Cue the annual spate of commencement speaker controversies. 🎓 Pomp + circumstance has its place but I'd like to see more student-led graduation ceremonies. Guessing there would be fewer long speeches, more celebrating. Less controversy, more joy.

Did not remember the devastating grief in #Pig. Damn. #HATM

Well, now I want a salted baguette. #Pig #HATM

He doesn't WANT a *new* pig, Alan Arken! #Pig #HATM

I get why filmmakers like to juxtapose jaunty ol' fashioned tunes with grim scenes of human cruelty like this underground fight club thing but I prefer a tense instrumental. #HATM

#HATM

Wait he didn’t even first aid his head before going after his pig? That is hard-core. #HATM

Sorry @herberthistory.bsky.social, I can't choose one favorite #NicCage movie (or even just one I most dislike) but can say unequivocally: I prefer slight scruff Nic Cage to mountain man styled heavily bearded Nic Cage. What say you, #HATM?

In two hours, we're watching PIG over at #HATM. Join us!

This week Historians At The Movies going back to first actor of #HATM. Join us on Netflix this Sunday, May 10 at 8pm eastern for PIG. If you dig what we've been doing for the last 8 years, share this post and get us in front of new audiences. See you Sunday.

As usual, I'm equal parts thrilled ("I'm keynoting an event, co-billing w/ #SoTL bigshot @peterfelten.bsky.social!") and freaked out, #introvert style ("So. Many. People. Looking at me while I talk?!" 😱) www.magnapubs.com/faculty-deve...

Time, yet again, to update the AI resource page for the Teaching Center! Do I a. Check current links & search for new resources b. Postpone if for a week, it'll all be different by then c. Lie down on the floor & stare into the void until robot overlords make me into a Matrix-style biobattery
