Part 2 of my blog posts wrapping up my @LDNsCall presentation looks into answering the question 'What does good look like?' and how @CRM_Analytics can help you get the most. What is the point of capturing all this data if you never use it? buff.ly/471zPzI

The Homework Apocalypse is coming this Fall. AI completely changes how students will relate to homework like essays, problem sets & readings. And it isn’t just because of cheating (though that happens too). Some examples, and thoughts about what to do: oneusefulthing.org/p/the-hom…
