How Data And Technology Can Transform Learning—When Used Effectively When used thoughtfully, data can drive real change.

Educational institutions are data-rich but rarely use it to improve learning. Scott White’s Forbes piece highlights how data and tech can personalise education, close gaps, and create new opportunities.

Is your institution data rich and data driven? #LTHEchat

How does an LLM ‘think’ and why does it struggle with math(s) and logic?

Anthropic’s research on circuit tracing shows LLMs estimate, adjust, and sometimes get it wrong. In poetry, different pathways shape responses that feel intentional but aren’t always accurate.

When does AI-assisted editing become AI-authored content? At what point does using AI for brainstorming become outsourced thinking?

Q2: In what ways do you think assessment practice in HE might be experienced unevenly by students of colour - can you provide examples? #LTHEchat

Love this @amandaseys.bsky.social - AI can be an excellent crutch and indeed a supportive tutor! The balance has to be found in not becoming too dependent on it #LTHEchat

The biggest problem with using generative AI is that it requires expert level knowledge to spot whether or not its output is twaddle.

Eg. Teachers need expert knowledge of pedagogy to know whether AI lessons are rubbish.

The thought of a novice student using AI to help them learn is nonsensical.

Textbook giant McGraw Hill sees potential for AI in the classroom—and the risks Century-old publisher McGraw Hill has a lot of experience bringing technology to education — a playbook it's turning to for generative AI.

“Our levels of brand trust are so high that the greatest risk for us is not moving too slowly on AI, it’s moving too fast on AI,”

Great insight by Dylan Arena on the potential vs risks of Gen AI

Reimagining Education in 2025: Is It Time for a Radical Reset? As we move toward 2025, I find myself reflecting on the state of education—not just because of my 23 years in post-primary teaching and EdTech, but because of the many changes (and lack of them) that ...

As we move toward 2025, I find myself reflecting on the state of education with the many changes (or the lack of them) that I’ve witnessed over the years.
As we enter 2025, I’m not here to offer all the answers, but to ask the right questions...
