How Data And Technology Can Transform Learning—When Used Effectively
When used thoughtfully, data can drive real change.
Educational institutions are data-rich but rarely use it to improve learning. Scott White’s Forbes piece highlights how data and tech can personalise education, close gaps, and create new opportunities.
Is your institution data rich and data driven? #LTHEchat

How does an LLM ‘think’ and why does it struggle with math(s) and logic?
Anthropic’s research on circuit tracing shows LLMs estimate, adjust, and sometimes get it wrong. In poetry, different pathways shape responses that feel intentional but aren’t always accurate.
Thoughts?

“The world that, you know, kids that are about to be born, the only world they will know is a world with AI in it, and that'll be natural. Of course, it can do things we can't, but also who really cares.”

‘Where’s the line? It’s an absurd line’: towards a framework for acceptable uses of AI in assessment
You have to enable JavaScript in your browser's settings in order to use the eReader.
When does AI-assisted editing become AI-authored content? At what point does using AI for brainstorming become outsourced thinking?
Where is the line?! Great thought provoking piece by CRADLE and the team in Deakin University Australia. #AI #LTHEchat

Shaping higher education for commuter students
Susan Kenyon considers who commuter students are, what they need and why the sector should care.
With the cost of living rising, more students are choosing public transport over the traditional university residential experience.

The biggest problem with using generative AI is that it requires expert level knowledge to spot whether or not its output is twaddle.
Eg. Teachers need expert knowledge of pedagogy to know whether AI lessons are rubbish.
The thought of a novice student using AI to help them learn is nonsensical.

Textbook giant McGraw Hill sees potential for AI in the classroom—and the risks
Century-old publisher McGraw Hill has a lot of experience bringing technology to education — a playbook it's turning to for generative AI.
“Our levels of brand trust are so high that the greatest risk for us is not moving too slowly on AI, it’s moving too fast on AI,”
Great insight by Dylan Arena on the potential vs risks of Gen AI
