Today I asked ChatGPT about the topic I wrote my PhD about. It produced reasonably sounding explanations and reasonably looking citations. So far so good – until I fact-checked the citations. And things got spooky when I asked about a physical phenomenon that doesn’t exist.

Am thinking of a link between Jonathan Pillai's rule for immersive environments, "show it, don't say it", to Catmoore's scenario design process. Let students make the choices and experience the consequences on their own! #ascilite22

Gutted to have missed this one! Love the graphic. Adding this to my “recordings to watch” list 📝

I find Microsoft Teams is great for organising informal comms within staff units and CoPs. And when paired with SharePoint, makes a fantastic central repository for course & programme management (key documentation etc). Any Teams “loathers” want to change my mind? 😛 #ascilite22

How do Australian Educational Developers in universities influence academics to implement changes to their teaching practices? ✅ creating a favorable environment ✅ relationships ✅ effective communication Thanks Julie Luu for sharing! ASCILITE Conference #ascilite22

Speaking of what LD/EDs "do", a topic of #ascilite22 Day 3's 2.15pm panel, I appreciated William Billingsley's session on utilising detailed/descriptive curriculum mapping to show stakeholders how and where a qualification covers certain knowledge, skills, attributes and more.

I enjoyed challenging myself to Tweet through the #ascilite22 conference - it resulted in some shocking grammar/poor writing but forced me to engage, focus and learn! Fantastic conference, can't wait for the next one. Thanks ASCILITE Conference

Important!

Great ideas for responding to academic integrity and AI (ChatGPT) from ACODE - less blanket bans, more communication with students “if it feels wrong, it’s worth having a conversation about it”

Thanks, #THETA2023, for allowing me and Fleur Connor-Douglas to “make waves” in your neatly organised chairs as part of our experimental workshop session. Big thank you to the attendees; I love a good chat about intentional learning design! Looking forward to Day 2 🌊

Great to hear Dr Deniese Cox sharing student perspectives on what makes a good video. Academics beware; if you’re poorly lit, are not making eye contact, or are positioned awkwardly in the frame, it can seem like you don’t know or care what you’re talking about…! #theta2023

The Greens Wealth Tax works like this: If you have: - $1m in assets, nothing to pay. - $2m in assets, nothing to pay. - $3m in assets, $25,000 to pay. - $4m in assets, $50,000 to pay.

An amusing reminder that genAI doesn't know what's true and it doesn't care.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: We are only at 1.3°C of global heating and the Earth is breaking down like crazy. 1.5°C was NEVER a safe level. But, thanks to fossil fuel industry lies and bribes, we are on track to blow past that and get to 3°C or more which will be hell on Earth
