"[I]f AI can generate essays and solutions, the focus of educators needs to shift from evaluating their final products to equipping and assessing students on critical thinking, self-regulation, and motivational skills. Effective assessment techniques need to provide insight into a learner’s thought processes in real time."
How can teachers use AI in practical, low-risk ways that will save them time and reduce their workload – without compromising their professional judgement? Via EDTECH@UTRGV

“Your ability to ‘get good outcomes using AI’ tracks with your ability to ‘get good outcomes without AI.' AI does not replace strong teaching; it amplifies it. The educators who benefit most are those who use AI as a second thinker, a teaching assistant, or a proofreader – not as a decision-maker."
Students will use AI. Here’s what it takes to ensure it strengthens their thinking instead of replacing it. Via EDTECH@UTRGV

"[I]f we integrate AI thoughtfully — anchored in pedagogy, aligned with course content and designed to promote cognitive effort — we can help students build the skills that will matter most in an AI-integrated world: critical thinking, problem-solving and the ability to verify and challenge AI itself."
Learning in the AI age: Education 5.0 Patrick Blessinger Learning is for human flourishing, but only if we can see flourishing as something more than economic productivity, something more than employability, something more than credentials, though these things are very important.

"[K]nowledge is now universally abundant and available to everyone, but it is fragmented, contested, and increasingly filtered through algorithms. The aim of learning today should be to move from survival to meaning, from authority to participation, from control to co-creation, from power to rights, and from fragmentation to coherence."
"Much of the conversation around artificial intelligence (AI) is framed in fear. White-collar professionals are increasingly anxious about AI replacing cognitive work once thought untouchable, a concern captured in The Atlantic’s piece on the worst-case future for white-collar workers. Blue-collar workers have their own version of this fear as employers test automation that shows up in the real world as robots and drones doing physical jobs once reserved for people, including delivery and warehouse work, like Amazon’s reported testing of humanoid delivery robots.
The anxiety is real. But what if we are asking the wrong question?" Via EDTECH@UTRGV

"Instead of asking how we preserve jobs as they exist today, what if we ask whether working less might actually be progress?"
"Publicly accessible generative artificial intelligence (AI) is predicted to transform how learners construct knowledge and the skills needed for professional success across industries...[T]his article explores learning through dialogue, supporting knowledge construction, leveraging AI tools, and implications for instructional designers and educators." Via EDTECH@UTRGV
EDTECH@UTRGV's curator insight,
March 6, 2:43 PM
"In a world where access to information is practically endless, the mark of an expert educator will be the ability and the humility to embrace AI to 1) center learners throughout a learning experience; 2) facilitate knowledge construction with and among AI, learners, and other stakeholders; 3) support learners in applying what they know and identifying what they do not know; and 4) nurture critical thinking and problem-solving skills across all modalities."

"[W]hen AI is designed as a tutor that asks questions instead of simply giving answers – and when students are also required to explain their reasoning to classmates – the technology can support learning rather than replace it."

"The tension between personalized learning demands and standardized evaluation mechanisms presents a persistent challenge in contemporary education. This study proposes a comprehensive personalized education assessment framework driven by generative artificial intelligence technologies. The framework adopts a five-layer hierarchical architecture integrating data collection, processing, intelligent analysis, assessment generation, and feedback optimization components." Via EDTECH@UTRGV
EDTECH@UTRGV's curator insight,
March 9, 5:37 PM
"Experimental participants exhibited significantly higher learning gains (Cohen’s d = 0.56), with particularly pronounced effects among initially lower-performing students. The framework also enhanced learner engagement and satisfaction compared to conventional assessment approaches. These findings suggest that generative AI can effectively operationalize personalized assessment at scale while maintaining pedagogical quality and transparency."

"Dealing with students who plagiarize now seems like a piece of cake compared to ones who use AI to write their papers. I could usually deter students from plagiarizing by demonstrating how easy it is for teachers to find it...However, the rise of AI has completely changed that approach." Via EDTECH@UTRGV
EDTECH@UTRGV's curator insight,
March 6, 2:55 PM
"Discouraging students from using AI involves a two-prong approach. First, they should see that it won’t help them pass the course. And second, they must realize they are missing opportunities for the teacher to help them actually improve their writing."

"Last Tuesday, I asked Claude to prepare a competitive analysis. Not in a chat window. Not through a prompt. I opened Cowork, pointed it to a folder on my desktop, and said what I needed. It read my files. It cross-referenced data from Slack through a connector. It pulled calendar context. It produced a document — formatted, structured, sourced — and saved it to my working folder. I didn’t open a single application. I didn’t navigate a single menu. I didn’t click through a single interface." Via EDTECH@UTRGV

"Cowork reads files on your desktop, modifies documents, creates deliverables, and operates within your working folder — asking for confirmation before significant actions, working autonomously within defined boundaries."
