Me, after debunking learning styles and offering people a better way to differentiate instruction: youtube.com/shorts/e-BFj...

Hope you find that introduction article helpful! @mattbernacki.bsky.social did a heck of a job with that article and his guest editorship of the entire special issue.

Totally agree. This makes me think of Cizek's "consequential validity" idea (ie consequences of assessment evidence should be considered as part of the argument for validity) & how learning analytics can be leveraged to assess in different ways. Here's an SI on it: www.apa.org/pubs/journal...

Could #GenAI find dynamic, non-linear, and/or complex systems patterns across diverse data types, aggregrating them in ways that are impossible using traditional "modern measurement theory" methods? Will power analysis become moot? These are the kinds of questions I'm asking. What are yours? (3/3)

This distinction is helpful. Don't ask what parts of a task #GenAI will replace, ask what tasks GenAI will make irrelevant. For example, I don't think GenAI can replace researchers who actually talk to people, choose research questions, collect data, etc. But, could it replace measurement? (2/3)

How AI Will Erase Entire Industries Without Automating Them Notes on the shape AI displacement will actually take

"Oks emphasizes the distinction between automation and irrelevance, which is the point where most people get stuck: it’s easy to visualize a world where your job has been automated, but really hard to visualize one where your job is irrelevant because the entire ground has transformed." (1/3)

“The platforms use aggressive tactics to keep users compulsively engaged — algorithmic recommendations, infinite scroll, auto video play and intermittent reinforcement…This goes far beyond merely hosting and moderating third-party content.” [Gift link] www.nytimes.com/2026/03/14/o...

Thanks for clarifying. That wasn’t what I meant. Good to be explicit about that now. I wasn’t positioning one as totally good and the other totally bad.

Sorry, I don't understand your comment.

Excellent example of how important it is to differentiate AI methods from GenAI. The former have been around what , 50 years? And been used well and safely with proper oversight.

Great episode. I really appreciated the focus on measurement. We need to do a much better job measuring and investigating our modeling of phenomena. Garbage measure in, garbage findings out.

Great question! Unclear but if I had to bet I’d say phones increase attentional issues in those who currently lack tools for attention regulation.

Oof. Objective data showing way too much smartphone use during school. I'm less compelled by the lab-based, artificial measure of cognitive control, but directionally the findings (more use -> poorer control) are concerning. #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

SGA to break Wilt record: Thunder star's historic feat, by the numbers With Gilgeous-Alexander one game away from holding the most consecutive 20-point games in history, ESPN analyst Zach Kram breaks down the 20 most impressive stats about the streak.

Great article describing SGA’s miraculous achievement: “In other words, the chances of a modern NBA All-Star surpassing Chamberlain's streak are roughly the odds of finding a specific grain of sand somewhere on the entire planet.”

I'm a fan of design-based research and how it is deeply situated and also collaborative with (in this case) teachers and students. Seems like digital literacy is shifting every month, now, so we need more research like this into what students are actually doing. #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky

We are rapidly approaching the "can't swing a tetherball without hitting one" number of meta-analyses of #GenAI effects on learning. Perhaps we should do better primary research on that topic before trying, yet again, to meta-analyze a bunch of flawed studies? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Opinion | Teens Are Falling Out of Love With Tech

Can I be both deeply worried about teachers using #GenAI to grade student work and also deeply empathetic about how overworked our teachers are and their desire for solutions to that long-standing problem? Because I am. [Gift link]

Opinion | Schools are teaching AI — and making a massive mistake They should teach kids to have agency over the technology, not just how to use it.

I agree with the focus on teaching students how AI works and gaining agency with it, but I wish these articles would differentiate #GenAI from machine learning and other data science techniques. They are meaningfully different. (2/2)

I'd love to see more institutions trying new ways to support student success and then tracking effects over time, as Georgia State University has done.
