In following along on a conversation via Linked In, I saw Shana V. White ask this question: How do you define "ethically"? Later, someone asks the question that Shana may really be asking in regards to AI, "What is ethical AI?" From my perspective, the questions raise the bigger issues. It reminded me of a…

ABSTRACT The emergence of newer theories for digital learning spaces occurs because of a general dissatisfaction with the theorizing of earlier generations of open and distance education (ODE). After an outline of the traditional conception of the requirements for a “learning theory,” this article traces the sources for this dissatisfaction in traditional theories such as behaviourism and cognitivism, then traces some theoretical attempts to address them. It identifies a range of emerging theories, including connectivist pedagogy, personal learning environments, and open educational practices, characterizing these in terms of their response to the original dissatisfaction. It then returns to the characterization of a “learning theory,” suggesting that in the light of this new work a reconceptualization of theory may be required.

"Changing Assessment" published on 24 Mar 2025 by Brill. "Since the Delors report, education reformers have been working to create curricula that allow human beings to flourish. Schools should not only be places where we learn to be and learn to live together, but also places where the way we assess students valorises the diverse range of human gifts within them. Yet, most schools remain locked in a 19th-century assessment structure that prevents young people from exploring the full variety and extent of their talents, forcing them to perform on a narrow, high-stakes track. When will this change? In this remarkable book, Conrad Hughes gives an overview of the assessment problem affecting schools and creates a path to take to broaden assessment and potentially reposition the whole purpose of schooling. It is a brave, beautifully written treatise that anyone interested in education and assessment should read."

There’s a dual interpretation of the title in this post. First, I’ve been using my own writing as a tool to understand what AI can and can’t do. It provides a useful medium for doing this as I have a lot of it, and it’s something I’m deeply familiar with so I can gauge the quality of the output.

The post reflects on metaphors used to discuss artificial intelligence, particularly introducing an origami analogy. It emphasises that AI outputs are intricately shaped by the training data like origami models are formed from a single sheet of paper. This analogy reveals insights into AI's limitations, creativity, and the nature of its outputs.
