Excellent article by Matthew Noah Smith about whether the advent of easily accessible Large Language Models such as ChatGPT should change teaching practices in Higher Education, over at @DailyNous:

The short answer: no, changes should be about making teaching and assessment more engaging and learning-conducive per se, thus making cheating less rational and attractive.

@bigideasineducation #introductions I am a retired instructor in early childhood education who built a big website with free access and many public domain pdf’s with what I have learned about teaching young children, teaching myself, and making learning visible. I was involved in SOTL and Carnegie and working on a parallel track with Project ZERO at Harvard. I’d love to discuss Best Practices in College Teaching, a page on my site, tomdrummond.com #sotl #teachingHE #learning

@bigideasineducation #introduction Big ideas! I’d sure like to connect with others who are interested in how one teaches aesthetically. I’ve been trying to show how the biggest three deep ideas work in classroom practice: co-construction of understanding, representing to learn, and the reciprocity of documentation and meta cognition. I don’t know where to turn. #learning #teachingHE #makinglearningvisible #sotl

@drntasler SOTL is on here! Hooray. https://tomdrummond.com/helping-other-adults/making-learning-visible/ #facultydevelopment #teachingHE #learning

I’ve managed to find some #LTHEchat peeps via debirdify - but it feels like we need a list!
Although - it’s also important to acknowledge Mastodon as a different network. It will evolve differently, and will inevitably inspire different content. #L&T #HigherEd #Academic #TeachingHE
