This is an excellent speech by the new Chancellor of Oxford University, William Hague. Lots of good jokes, but also a staunch defence of what a university should be. We're going to need a lot of that in the years ahead.

Following some leaked comments about the future of wholly online degrees last week, @cathellis13.bsky.social and I break down what this really means for the higher education sector... futurecampus.com.au/2025/02/18/t...

Last week when I visited Kalgoorlie, home to the 'super pit' of Australia, I couldn't resist telling participants in a GenAI workshop that this was their chance to 'get on the tools'! Though my activities didn't require an alcohol test beforehand... quite the opposite ;-)

Today at Curtin I'll be providing an all-staff briefing session on our 'Assessment 2030' work, and will be integrating the wise words of @cathellis13.bsky.social from last week's USYD GenAI Leaders forum: "we need to stop detecting cheating, and start detecting learning." 🙌

Most edtech sold to schools is not supported by evidence. Now, a new edtech evidence industry promises to address this gap to support schools. For our new article, we studied how "edtech brokers" make evidence and how they are becoming "edtech knowledge governors" doi.org/10.1080/1476...

Alex Steele starts out a great panel chat on pointing out TEQSA GenAI note mentions processes, people, and practice... but nothing about learning! #ascilite2024

Is there a reason this panel is a plug for bluesky? I mean I like it sure, but I don't need a panel telling me why social media is good... #ascilite2024

The importance of research-informed decision-making IMO underscores the importance of senior leaders to have research (and maybe even T&L!) backgrounds and active engagement in research production... #ascilite2024

I (obviously) agree with the idea of consilience (who wouldn't?) - but easier to say than do. The way the academic workload works, doing things that take considerable time, and harness big teams with qual and quant etc, isn't necessarily rewarded (nor read). #ascilite2024

"Threshold standards guides everything about higher ed" - says @jasonmlodge.bsky.social. And they might change. (But I would argue we 'mind' them more than follow them!) #ascilite2024

I resonate strongly with Jason's point that the higher ed field often recycles the same ideas over and over! @jasonmlodge.bsky.social #ascilite2024

Jason begins his keynote with a slew of the fear mongering vibes around ed tech over the years... and now says this time (GenAI) is different... hmmm where are we going with this!? @jasonmlodge.bsky.social #ascilite2024

@czernie.bsky.social is 100% right. You want to make a difference? Get involved in your uni's procurement process of ed tech softwares (including GenAI). Push back - ask thorny questions. Don't let them cut out the academic voice, especially the voice fighting for greater equity. #ascilite2024

Fan-girling just slightly over meeting @czernie.bsky.social at #ascilite2040. A thread in our convo is what does an 'advocate' in higher ed look like? And how can 'simply' being on committees can in fact be a form of activism and resistance against the machine... (if you speak up) ✊

Jonathan Brazil highlights the UNESCO AI literacy dimension of 'attitudes' - what does this mean? What attitudes should students have? Surely we can't be prescriptive here!! #ascilite2024

Yes, 'you use GenAI to develop your evaluative judgement' says @margaretbea.bsky.social (I suppose you can use anything), but how does the instant feedback change this bit?

As @margaretbea.bsky.social is speaking about her very repetitive process of getting ChatGPT to modify an image, I think about how markedly different that is from creating an image before AI #ascilite2024

Thx @amandalovestoaudit.bsky.social for being our keynote speaker at Curtin's 'Teaching with Technology!'. Amanda's brief for the talk was to discuss her path to becoming one of Australia's most celebrated tertiary educators - her takeaway? Don't forget edtech requires people! ❤️

Last week I was lucky enough to enjoy the TEQSA conference alongside the venerable Kelly Matthews, and we summarised our reflections of the day in a recent Future Campus piece. Big change in HE is happening, but it won't get done without 'middle leaders'. futurecampus.com.au/2024/11/14/m...
