The role of ChatGPT in scientific communication: writing better scientific review articles
My fly-on-the-wall observations on AI and higher education (at least teaching and learning) is that most universities really do not know what to do. Many do not have integrated policies. Most professors don't really know what it is about.

This line in Barbara Baig's writing book triggered a memory: "most adults are very self-conscious about learning anything new."
Years ago I took an ink painting class at my local arts center. A middle-aged woman cried because she wasn't immediately good at it. To me this is a convincing case for #ungrading.
I went to the International Corrections Education Association conference on Monday and - for the first time - encountered my work in the wild! It was quite a feeling ♥
Very considered and thoughtful piece by @Carwil on banning AI-generated text from students.
'In the end, the two main things I’m looking for in class essays are self-reflection and research. And while I can get the appearance of both from large-language model the first is a lie and the second an uncertain and fragile illusion.'
Students and teachers across the world are invited to help tackle the climate crisis ahead of #COP28.
