It was fantastic to work with co-editors @cwalkington.bsky.social @alyssaemery.bsky.social and @lingzhang.bsky.social and SO many leaders in ed tech, educational psychology, subject matter experts, and special education leaders who reframed their work thru a PL lens.

Psychologists, apply! Apparently we've mainly gotten CS applicants so far. I'd (selfishly) love to have a psychologist. Interests in AI in relation to e.g., implicit bias; cultural influences; fairness; perception; learning & memory; decision making etc. would be a good fit!

I study AI cheating. Here’s what the data actually says. What the panic about kids using AI to cheat gets wrong.

Really good (gift) article on #GenAI and cheating. I appreciate how Victor Lee brings data, research history, and careful thought to this issue. We should be teaching individual responsibility and creating environments that decrease the likelihood of cheating. #PsychSky #EduSky #AcademicSky

Hi to both of you!

It’s true that this design promoted a lot of behavior on the strategies we do recommend n the training. We don’t elicit much self report hut do have some data and they do suggest a shift toward active learning over the more common passive strategies.

Proudly presented by APA Division 15. Narration by Dr. Jeff Greene. What is Educational Psychology?

If you've been wondering how people learn, or how things like GenAI affect how people learn, or how to help people teach and learn effectively, then you should talk to an educational psychologist. #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky

Where do folks publish new educational measures these days?

I've been designing instruments to make it possible to quickly assess motivation and knowledge in classrooms, but now discover that it is nearly impossible to find a (Q1) journal in education that will review them.

Any leads?

Excited to see everyone in Denver this week. Check out the awesome work being presented by our lab! New time/location for our symposium featuring work from @jasonmharley.bsky.social @mattbernacki.bsky.social and others with discussants Reinhard Pekrun and @kristinasto.bsky.social. Not to be missed!

Thanks on behalf of the team -- Credit to ‪@cwalkington.bsky.social for leading this tricky work and arduous path to publication!

If you're an NSF PI like me, you might be wondering: Will my grant be suspended or terminated next week?

A few key things to know: First off, remember that NSF is **congressionally mandated** to evaluate broader impacts. And laws like CHIPS and Science supersede EOs.

Terracotta is a "plug-in" for Canvas LMS that makes it easy for researchers to conduct a randomized control study in classroom settings. Now it comes w/ new cool features (e.g., Qualtrics integration). Though the Canvas integration takes some time/effort, it is FREE, & they give you a lot of help.
