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...
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."
"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
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
