  1. For many years now I've wanted to learn how to draw, but unfortunately my mind didn't cooperate with me in this endeavor. Today, out in public for all to see I make a commitment to spend at least half a hour every day practicing this skill that has eluded me for so long.

    I hope this pursuit can inspire, and show others that it's possible to learn anything you set your mind to do.

    Deadline, December 31, 2028.
    Goal - Realistic Self Portrait.

  6. What are the judgements which students are making as they use AI?

    I enjoyed this paper by Walton et al about the role of judgement in how students use AI. There’s currently a startling lack of rich data about the judgements students actually make in their use of chatbots, as they summarise on pg 2:

    There remains little information beyond decontextualised self-reports about
    what these judgements might be and how they influence what students learn (or fail to learn) from completing their assessments. Thus, educators and institutions continue to design assessments and set policy to take account of GenAI use without understanding how their choices will affect students and learning. Exploring how students make judgements with—and about—GenAI will therefore provide a much-needed perspective on how students are coming to learn with, rely on, and dissemble with GenAI.

    Through a nicely designed walk through method they identify six categories of what they call judgement events: time bound occurrences where the student where a student evaluates AI and its outputs as they worked on an assessment. What I particularly like about this framing is how it enables us to distinguish between:

    1. The occurance and sequencing of judgement events.
    2. The (epistemically) better or worse judgement events which make up that sequence

    It does what Milan and I describe in The Platform Learns To Speak as opening the blackbox of AI use in order to look at the process which underpins it. The obvious lesson to take from the notion of judgement events is to ask four questions of assessment design:

    1. What is the process? Where and when are judgements called for?
    2. What kind of judgement events are desirable for constructive alignment?
    3. How does the logic of the design ideally knit together these judgement events?
    4. How does the embedding of the assessment support or hinder this ambition?

    A crucial point they make in this paper concerns student’s ability to distinguish their own epistemic contribution to the output. I’ve been prone in the last year to saying that we need to help students understand what it feels like to be learning*. I stand by this but I realise it’s a precarious achievement rather than something we can rely on. This is why I like their two points on pg 13 so much:

    This makes two points: firstly, GenAI use can enhance or hinder learning,
    depending on circumstance. Secondly, students’ own views of what they learnt or how they worked with GenAI use does not distinguish between these cases.

    *Thanks to David Meechan for setting me off on this, when he visited us.

    Hey, wait… if student self-reports are intrinsically unreliable than what does that mean for classification and declaration? This is a HUGE issue which I need to come back to.

  16. Before you touch the news: inhale through the nose, then — without exhaling — take a second short sip of air stacked on top of the first. Let it out slow through the mouth, longer than the inhale, like fogging a windowpane. Three rounds.
    That second little sip reinflates the collapsed sacs at the bottom of your lungs.

  28. I have boringly and repetitively built my ninth Western style shirt (I previously miscounted, I'd thought I had already done 9, but I'd only done 8), using fabric I used for shirt 3 - this one's a different pattern, for a different recipient.

    This shirt construction began by feeling cursed, but by the end of the process (which took me a long time due to early cursedness), it came out pretty good I think.

    Each one does seem to get a little better?
