Are you an education-focused academic who wants or needs to do education research? This open access paper contains my heartfelt advice re constructing a problem that is worth researching. The context is heath professions education but the premise is widely applicable. fohpe.org/FoHPE/articl...

Hi all. I'm thinking about assessments where the assessor/educator works alongside students and gets a sense of their learning from collaborative involvement. Do you have examples (real or hypothetical) that you can offer for discussion?

I want to argue that a thing is not a solution until it has actually solved a problem. Up until then, it is just a way of trying to achieve something.

No, that's a different definitional debate! @timbocop.bsky.social, seen this paper by Kathleen & Edd yet? Just another facet to feedback. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

#ASCILITE2024 was fun. Kudos for mostly very mindful Zoom hosting too and the asynchronous element of the SlowPosium (@gamerlearner.bsky.social @wentale.bsky.social) Nice to see moves towards more inclusive educational spaces. Lovely chatting with those I chatted with.

Just rehearing an argument here ahead of an ASCILITE panel tomorrow on AI literacy and self regulation. AI literacy, if that's the construct we're using, is something to develop collectively rather than individually.

I think learning content is more about learning to learn content than it is about the content. Do you agree, disagree, both, neither...?

If we do manage to derive these apparent efficiency gains from AI, we should work hard to not be more productive. We should take breaks and talk to colleagues about holidays.

Do we want personalised learning? Or to put it another way, do we want others to personalise learning for us?

In feedback comments, an unsung aspect is demonstrating curiosity in what the student is saying. Sometimes, we focus too much on making things actionable. Going down rabbitholes with students is more important than telling them how they got their APA referencing wrong.
