A1 To add something more to the lists: Feedback literacy including peer feedback as practices which might be new to a lot of students. Explain to them that feedback IS teaching so they feel more motivated to (and learn how to) engage with it #LTHEchat

A social sciences and humanities reading list on AI in education 🧵

Used the "muted words" function for the first time and muted some political ones. If I see someone commenting on politics, I will start unfollowong directly. If you haven't figured out politics is just a distraction for the masses so far, I will not be reading your opinions on any politic issues.

Letting AI do the reading for your research is like wanting to see a film but listening to someone tell you about it instead

People who view teaching as merely a job to be done, will use AI to optimize and automate their processes. People who consider it a form of a personal relation and communication with others will be more willing to resist using it especially if it is not needed to achieve the results they want.
