"Typically, enrollment in graduate school increases during recessions as workers seek to advance or to move to another industry with better career prospects or pay. Today, more people in a survey said they plan to go back to school within a year, even though the economy is doing well."

Well once again, trying to make a living got in the way of sharing information, so apologies for the long delay since the last of these newsletters. Hopefully I can get back on track soon and start producing at least one each month. Anyway, excuses aside, there are some really great tools and interesting articles (mainly about AI of course) in this edition. Via Nik Peachey

"[B]efore institutional leaders ask faculty to do more with GenAI, a more useful first step might be to ask a simpler question: What exactly are faculty worried about?"

"We all know we’re supposed to check what AI spits out. But Victoria Yaneva, director of data science and AI at the National Board of Medical Examiners, said there’s growing evidence that humans are getting worse at doing so. People who are enthusiastic about AI are more likely to miss errors, she said. AI skeptics are better at catching them."

"We are living through a fundamental shift in what work is for. As AI takes on more routine cognitive tasks, the uniquely human capacity to imagine, connect, and create meaning becomes the primary source of organizational value. Yet most companies are still measuring performance metrics prioritized for a different era: inventory turnover, cost per lead, and utilization rates." Via EDTECH@UTRGV

"Generative artificial intelligence is pushing teaching and learning away from a model centered on producing answers and academic artifacts and toward one that places greater weight on process, judgment, reflection, and applied thinking. In conversations with campus leaders, three priorities emerged." Via EDTECH@UTRGV

"It's important to create a safe space for our students and for our faculty as well, where they can share their perspectives, concerns, fears, ideas about generative AI." 
Claudia Hernandez's curator insight,
May 24, 8:35 PM
The article discusses how generative AI is changing higher education by shifting the focus from simply producing answers to emphasizing critical thinking, reflection, and problem-solving. Campus leaders identified three main priorities for teaching and learning with AI: supporting faculty development, encouraging thoughtful AI integration, and preparing students for responsible AI use in real-world settings.

If we design AI systems that shortcut the learning process, we risk undermining the very purpose and value of education. Via EDTECH@UTRGV

"AI is rapidly reshaping education, but not always in ways that support learning. A growing number of AI tools promise to “help” students by doing assignments, writing papers, solving problem sets, or even completing exams automatically.
While these tools may appear convenient, they raise an important question: Are they removing barriers to learning, or removing learning itself?"

"[T]he AI trends reshaping eLearning by 2030 aren't coming from EdTech start-ups. They're coming from the raw compute infrastructure being built right now, the same forces powering ChatGPT, scientific research, and software engineering. Those forces are heading straight for your LMS. Let's break down exactly what's coming, and what you need to do about it." Via EDTECH@UTRGV
