The best way to improve your writing is not always to write more. It's often to read more.
Instead of just enjoying the content, study the form. Pay attention to how they set up ideas, structure paragraphs, signpost transitions, and shape sentences.
Role models elevate art.

This is a great editorial & it highlights the issues with ideas of assessment designers & faculty & how they work out at the coalface. But there are often some issues that may be overlooked in the design process. I want to offer some considerations. 1⃣

Were you caught off-guard by #AI and #ChatGPT? Be sure not to make the same mistake with Artificial General Intelligence (#AGI). With colleagues, I have just published the AMEE Guide to Preparing for AGI in HPE.
