Packback released several free GPT tools marketed toward educators that are worth a look. The "Fact Check the AI" assignment generates an essay with purposeful errors and an answer key to help students ID false information and work on critical thinking.

An artificial intelligence has mastered novel tasks it hasn’t been trained on as fast as a group of humans, which could be a step towards generally intelligent AIs newscientist.com/article/235701…

I totally get that the future of education may be different as a result of AIs (it is a topic I both research and write on!), but this is a practical matter. Essays play a fairly substantial role in college admissions at many universities. Essays just broke. What's the plan?

Yesterday at the 'Brilliant Colleague Nominee Event,' we recognised staff from across the Faculty and the difference they make.

I can't stress this enough. If we continue to depend on the asynchronous assessment of a(ny) digital asset produced without supervision as a way of assessing their learning, it's game over.

Great first day at the TBL Collaborative summer symposium. Lots of new ideas for application exercises. Thanks Laura Green and Paul Shore for all your hard work organising #ETBLC2024 #OptometryEducation #OptometryManchester

Fabulous day at the ETBLC conference today, presenting our work with student co-creators to produce TBL resources. Just sad we can't be there tomorrow! #ETBLC2024
