EdTech: The New Normal

"Given the widespread impacts of generative AI, looking at this technology through the lens of autonomy can help equip students for the workplaces of the present and of the future, while ensuring academic integrity for both students and instructors."

Raise your hand if you’ve ever held a big ol’ floppy disk before! If I could look through this screen I’d see a lot of hands held high :) Way before we all had three devices on us (yea, I see you with the watch, phone, and laptop over there). And way before we used computers for work, communicat

When Garret Fettig, an early-career social media professional in higher education, discovered the Digital Community Cohort, he said it felt like a dream come true. “I was eagerly looking for any space…

Researchers are looking at how to make video meetings feel less tiring, reduce anxiety and tackle ‘Zoom dysmorphia’

In recent years, the proliferation of online learning has fundamentally reshaped the landscape of higher education. As digital tools and ... Read more

Members of the National Council of Innovative Instructional Leaders explained how they are approaching AI and education.

The models use what OpenAI calls "private chain of thought," where the model pauses to examine its internal dialog and plan ahead before responding, which you might call "simulated reasoning" (SR)—a form of AI that goes beyond basic large language models (LLMs).

On our way to developing a curriculum for implementable real-world projects in professional classrooms, an interesting thing happened: Generative AI became ubiquitous.

Hallucination rate is the frequency that an LLM generates false or unsupported information in its outputs. Which models have the lowest rates?

A new feature in the AI-detection service GPTZero lets users check factual claims against other sources and verify whether citations contain AI-generated content.

Fewer than half of students at the largest nonprofit online institutions earn a degree after eight years. Is it an unfortunate reality or a cry for accountability? Demand for remote degree programs has surged in the past decade, and especially since the COVID-19 pandemic normalized the online classroom. But for students in many exclusively online programs, eight-year completion rates often fall below 50 percent, according to data on outcome measures from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System.

When most people prompt Generative AI, they do so within the paradigm of how they think about what could or should come next. For example, when searching Google, users may ask a question, search for the best Thai restaurant “near me,” or insert specific criteria based on filtered output, such as “best downhill mountain bike for intermediate riders.” That approach is often carried into prompting. The results build on a linear path of thinking, research, and decision-making based upon the world as we know it. However, where AI starts to “come alive” is when you create something unique — something that wouldn’t have been achieved without a human and machine collaboration. 

AI models and platforms may soon teach students with custom-made GPTs from OpenAI.

Career exploration and career readiness are critical measures of our education system’s relevance in an increasingly complex world.

Nearly half of U.S. teens (46%) say they're on the internet almost constantly. YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and Snapchat remain widely used by teens.
