Excellent talk from @sbuckshum pointing to emerging notions of AI Literacies for learning Cradle/TEQSA Seminar 3

"“I really crave the material reality of characters. Attending to the material reality of characters is a moral act.” On Brandon Taylor, by @GarthGreenwell open.substack.com/pub/garthgreen…

“I often have a saw in one hand and lambs wool in the other” …. Godwin Bradbeer on ‘pianoforte’ the mystery of hard and soft coming together in art @makingallery

“The main difference between animals and plants, in my opinion, is that animals concentrate specific functions inside organs. In the case of plants, they diffuse everything through the whole body, including intelligence” theguardian.com/environment/20…

#ChatGPT & #journalism “There are judgements you must be human to make. There is no dodging that fundamentally human role — that of the narrator. Whether explicitly or not, you have to take on the responsibility of guiding your readers through the landscape ..you are reporting.”

One of the best, most considered and most practical articles on #ChatGPT and #highered #assessment - @jasonmlodge is right authenticity in assessment is key and this isn’t just about the work-readiness of the task it’s about explicating the processes of decision making/judgement

Re: much English language misinterpretation of Pope Francis' remarks on homosexuality being a sin. As a fluent Spanish speaker and having watched the AP interview it is clear to me that after stating that homosexuality is not a crime, he then immediately puts a remark (1)

Great conversation on #ChatGPT with @DrLizzieJ and @trilia on ABC's @alimoore004 abc.net.au/melbourne/prog…

*The Once and Future Sex* is @goingmedieval's new history of gender and sex in the medieval age, describing the weird and horny ways of medieval Europeans, which are far gnarlier and more complicated than the story we get from "traditionalists." wwnorton.com/books/97803938… 1/

@heyjounce It's AI future workflows like this that we need to incorporate into curriculum instead of getting hysterical about cheating. Imagine teaching accounting without a calculator!

@Anda19 I'm afraid everyone is going to get more hysterical and won't see the opportunity to reinvent assessment.... but I think jumping on the fear carousel has become an instinctive reaction because HE and our world is so pressured. We're afraid. Just afraid.

Not a bad starting list!

7.Encourage collaboration between students and experts in AI ethics: Encourage students to collaborate with experts in AI ethics to better understand the ethical implications of using AI in their assessments.

Academics "riding their fear carousel"(@Anda19) can't think about innovative ways to use #ChatGTP. So I asked ChatGTP: "If AI is part of future professional workflows how can academics get students to use it ethically as part of an assessment" Their reply: #highered #assessment
