Shared inboxes are pretty useful! Here's how I use them for teaching and committee work. ksm-csed.medium.com/shared-inboxes…

New episode!

My favorite part was how the guest articulated why I don't like the word hallucination for LLMs. Hallucinate implies the brain did something different than it should have, but an LLM always does the same thing, whether it is right or "hallucinates."

I’m thinking about my next blog post, and I’m wondering if you all would find it useful if I create a Trello board template you can copy for a teaching staff task tracker. Basically, a generic version of the board I talk about in this blog post: ksm-csed.medium.com/how-i-track-th…

I really enjoyed this episode and appreciate how Luther discussed reducing the process to fit time constraints. This process especially seems useful for the first day of class!

I'm excited to announce our paper in the ACM Transactions of Computing Education Journal is out! It's the most comprehensive look at student help-seeking in CS courses in terms of data richness that I've seen in the literature. doi.org/10.1145/3716860
