Trend forecasting in Meded: I predict there will be a perception that things done by AI will feel low effort. Teachers who evaluate AI produced student work will feel this way. Students too will feel educational AI work to be low effort on the part of their teachers and institutions. 1/

It’s hard to undervalue the social process of getting an idea off the ground in designing education. A proposal doesn’t appear out of the blue and gets approved. Meetings before the meetings are critical to the iterative process to go from idea 1.0 to the final version. youtu.be/vOM3m26pNXM?...

One key ingredient for good assessment is attention. While time is of course necessary, I think that when educators say time is a limitation for them, they also implicitly mean attention. This requires us to develop both individual and systems level management of attention for better learning.

Something we have to do in CBME/feedback in the clinical setting is both recognize all the immense hard work that happened and that the learner still has important things to improve. Acknowledge the immensity of effort caring for patients. And coach for improvement. #medsky #meded #mededsky
I’m seeing a growing number of students complain: “My grade doesn’t reflect the effort I put into the course.” Public service announcement: An A is for excellence, not for effort. The true measure of learning is not the time and energy you put in. It’s the knowledge and skills you take out.
What if the most impactful and important technology for effective CBME is time? Time that allows intensity, clarity, cognition, relationship building, trust, co-creation.

For those who are looking for Black Friday suggestions, I highly recommend buying a portable monitor. A lightweight but high quality screen is a game changer for doing work even if it’s just at your kitchen table.
I think a fundamental ingredient to CBME is teachers providing concentrated cognition to coach and assess in the clinical environment. This kind of undivided, one-on-one attention is invariably costly. But I truly believe it to be worthwhile.
