ChatGPT is in classrooms. How should educators now assess student learning? Ensuring higher education remains a space for ethical decision-making means incorporating at least five principles into forms of assessment.

Valid assessment in the age of AI requires clearly delineating which cognitive processes must remain human and which can be legitimately cognitively offloaded

AI’s errors may be impossible to eliminate – what that means for its use in health care Many health symptoms can be caused by multiple illnesses – if AI can’t tell the difference between them, it won’t be able to operate accurately without human oversight.

Alan Turing, once said: “If a machine is expected to be infallible, it cannot also be intelligent.” This is because learning is an essential part of intelligence, and people usually learn from mistakes.

Europe's longest urban cable car is unveiled over dazzling capital city The new line, the first of its kind in the French capital, has been designed to connect the city's isolated outskirts, poorly served by trains and buses, to the Métro network.

This may even by crazy enough to work in Galway

What past education technology failures can teach us about the future of AI in schools It can take years to collect evidence that shows effective uses of new technologies in schools. Unfortunately, early guesses sometimes go seriously wrong.

New education technologies are only as powerful as the communities that guide their use. Opening a new browser tab is easy; creating the conditions for good learning is hard.

AI in medical education: 5 ways schools are employing new tools Artificial intelligence is being tapped to create quizzes, simulate patients, pinpoint student struggles, and write assessments. Humans remain ‘in the loop.’

Current applications of AI in medical education exist as small-scale pilots rather than mature, scaled implementations - The challenge isn’t technological, nor is it innovation. It is building the infrastructure to translate these pilots into educational practice.

Metacognitive abilities are linked to physical activity, diet, and sleep quality Your daily habits may influence more than just your physical health—they could shape how you plan, monitor, and reflect on your own thinking, according to a new study in PLOS One.

The researchers behind this study wanted to find out whether the same lifestyle factors that shape basic thinking skills might also relate to the higher-level processes people use to guide and regulate their thinking

What Teachers Should Know About Dysgraphia. Signs to look out for and evidence-based ways to help kids who struggle with writing. By Youki Terada.

Dysgraphia can look like messy handwriting, but it’s a lot more than that and can be a serious obstacle to academic success for some students.

Do you know what to look for and how to help kids who struggle with writing?

Only 5% of UK medical school entrants are working class, data shows Sutton Trust says underrepresentation of poorer students is ‘outrageous’ but number has doubled in 10 years to 2022

Students from working class backgrounds still make up only 5% of entrants to medical schools across the UK.

This is what happens when widening participation is an activity rather than a central guiding mission.

AI-detection software isn’t the solution to classroom cheating — assessment has to shift If educators want to make valid inferences about what students know and can do, assessments like drafts, works-in-progress and repeated observations of student learning are needed.

AI detection tools are better than humans at spotting AI. But do nothing to address the core problem of designing AI proof authentic assessments that equals confidence in student knowledge and skills.

What happens when ChatGPT takes a university exam? It's clear that GenAI tools can already effectively deal with and solve many of the topics taught to university students

'In the GenAI era, the only way that we can guarantee academic integrity, and ensure the person being given a qualification actually knows something about the subject, is through supervised, in-person assessment.'

Ciarán Cannon: We cannot consider going ahead with the Galway Ring Road Ciarán Cannon says recent legal rulings should spell the end of plans for the Galway Ring Road project.

"So here's my plea to our incoming government. Please abandon the concept of a Galway Ring Road ... Instead, spend a billion euros on building transformative public transport and active travel infrastructure across our small city."

A healthy dose of AI can improve medical care and save lives Done right, with real-world evidence to back up the claims and persuade doctors to adopt it, artificial intelligence has the power to enhance clinical outcomes

We should be bolder in testing medical AI systems in real-world settings, rather than just in the lab or simulations

Lead is neurotoxic and can erode brain cells and alter brain function after it enters the body. Young children are especially vulnerable to lead’s ability to impair brain development and alter brain health.
