Training providers are under enormous pressure to integrate AI, but sometimes getting it right means slowing down and asking, why?
"For workforce organizations on their own AI implementation journeys, our main advice is this: don’t wait for the perfect tool or the perfect study. Start with a clear theory of change, measure what you can, take adoption seriously, and create the conditions for honest learning."

AI is reshaping EdTech faster than platforms and institutions can keep up. Here is what the data actually reveals about the readiness gap.
"[W]hile over half of students and teachers now report using AI for school, professional development for teachers, student training on responsible AI use, and school-level policies are all significantly lagging that adoption rate"

AI may make it easier to manipulate athletic performance, but students often underestimate how easily it can be exposed
"A recent Sports Illustrated article described how some high school football players are using artificial intelligence to fabricate highlight plays in recruiting videos. Generative tools can now insert touchdowns, tackles, or explosive runs that never actually occurred, creating a misleading picture of an athlete’s performance."

Cooperative learning has long been recognized as an effective pedagogical strategy, yet the development of innovative techniques tailored to modern educational demands remains a challenge. This study introduces the Curriculum Concept Constellation Technique (CCCT), a novel cooperative learning technique developed with the support of artificial intelligence (AI).
"The study demonstrates that AI can serve as a valuable generative tool in pedagogical innovation, producing structured cooperative learning techniques based on human-authored prompts. The findings suggest that AI-generated techniques can be effectively implemented in higher education contexts, offering a scalable model for developing tailored instructional methods."

GPS ruined our sense of direction. Search engines weaken our memory. AI, scientists warn, could do the same to everything from creativity to critical thinking.
"As with any other technology, how we use AI will determine whether it helps us or harms us. But the concerns are serious enough that you might want to rethink how you use these tools – before it's too late."

"As global education systems evolve to meet rapidly changing workforce demands, micro credentials are gaining traction as a flexible complement to traditional degrees rather than a replacement, according to international policy bodies and education experts. Micro credentials, defined by the European Union as certifications of “learning outcomes of short-term learning experiences,” are designed to provide targeted, skills-based learning in a shorter timeframe."
"While micro credentials are often positioned as an alternative to degrees, global evidence suggests that the two serve different but complementary purposes."

"How can we teach and work in what Adam Aleksic calls our ‘hypermediated reality’? I spoke today at EdTech World Forum in London on Education in an Age of Brain Rot, AI Slop and Cognitive Offloading. The title is not elegant, like my usual efforts… But it tries to capture the feeling many of us now have about the internet in general, and AI in particular."
"The challenge for educators is to avoid the panicking and concentrate on what we actually think matters – how to make our bit of the world (be that classroom, VLE site, or tutorial meeting) one that promotes and rewards actual thinking and nurtures concentration and an actual appetite for disciplinary engagement."

"Given what the research tells us, faculty should adopt a default of “offline pedagogy”—designing instruction around the conditions known to produce durable learning—and integrate AI only when it can be shown to genuinely support, rather than substitute for, those conditions."
