Closing out my year with a journal editor shocker 🧵 Checking new manuscripts today I reviewed a paper attributing 2 papers to me I did not write. A daft thing for an author to do of course. But intrigued I web searched up one of the titles and that's when it got real weird...

What should an international research agenda for critical studies of "edtech" look like? After running a critical edtech conference this year, a few of us have mapped 6 key areas for further research in a brief new report zenodo.org/records/1767...

"If we do not act, we risk seeing the development of a fully automated loop in which assignments are generated by AI with the support of a LMS, AI-generated content is submitted...on behalf of the student, and AI-driven metrics evaluate the work" www.mla.org/Resources/Ad...

The most infuriating thing I've read lately is the response by Anthology to "AI agents" recognizing they're a huge problem for education then pivoting to "blocking AI in the classroom is extremely difficult, and institutions will see best results by adapting their pedagogical approach to the AI era"

Excellent piece - it's really hard to "follow the data" in education and it should not be so "We often talk about transparency in higher education, yet the private actors that are in the business of university data collection operate almost entirely in the dark."

The secret life of university data? In this article, I argue that universities must work together to demand transparency and openness in how their data are transformed and used, and ensure university data serve the public mission, not private interests. www.universityworldnews.com/post.php?sto...

"we now have a rush to either strip-mine university resources or capitalize on university prestige. Education technology (or Ed Tech) has been leading this charge since long before the AI craze" 💯 this is excellent

Wrote a thing on the hot summer of uni AI adoption for @defector.com A huge thanks to @nathankhensley.bsky.social and @anniemcc.bsky.social. @brandyjensen.bsky.social is a legend. And anything smart in hear is thanks to hours of discussion, texting, and draft reading by @smosment.bsky.social

Epic trawl through the state of the AI in education scientific literature "claiming to measure the impact of AI on learning outcomes" and finding it's mostly very bad, overblown, or even based on scientific malpractice ht @benjaminjriley.bsky.social wesstrabelsi.substack.com/p/the-good-t...

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Science of AI in Education

What would you learn if you scoured the peer reviewed studies out there on AI in education? I did, and I wasn't ready for it.
