For another deep dive into the realm of "climate criminals" I recommend the #edtech25 deck of @colm-itpm.bsky.social and decolonialisation advice, "We do not have to engage with AI".

Better Workflow when Digitally Literate Even before I attended #edtech25 on the campus of the Southeast Technological University, I knew ways I could achieve better results in my workflow as I upgraded my digital literacy. This is a core pr...

Big Takeaway from #edtech25: It's important that front line educators leverage their digital literacy when integrating AI as part of their professional practice.

Enhancing Academic Engagement: CAT1 (crucial academic training) and student support teams Blaithin Duggan, Patricia Flynn Dublin City University ‘Enhancing Academic Engagement: CAT1 (crucial academic training) and student support teams’ presents an undergraduate student-informed pilot project that aims to address the problem of engagement in higher education and the widening knowledge-gap between post-primary and higher education students. This paper presents the design, implementation, and qualitative and quantitative results of a 2024 student-informed case study at Dublin City University (DCU) Ireland, which resulted in two outcomes: a CAT1 online learning page and student support teams. By combining learnings from an undergraduate student advisory group, the project was developed and piloted with twenty-eight first-year undergraduate music students in 2024. The project combines digital learning software Loop (powered by Moodle), a timetable plan, challenge-based learning, onsite learning environments (libraries, writing centres, student supports), student-led support teams, and four onsite seminars for targeted skill acquisition in six key areas: Timetabling; Navigating the DCU Library; Notetaking and Effective Reading; Academic Referencing; Critical Thinking and Academic Writing; and Assignment Writing. The pilot project, informed by learning theory and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework (UDLL, AHEAD 2016) aimed to combat concerns surrounding student engagement and address the lost connections between students, their subjects, and wider university services to, ultimately, set students up for academic success.

“We don't need academics or Professional Services staff to become Al experts or developers, but we do need them to become at least Al-confident or (preferably) Al-fluent.
Are we shaping the change that Al has brought about, or will we let it shape us?” asks Professor Ale Armellini at #edtech25
