@TheAthleticFC @SebSB @FootballCliches any chance of an adjudication on "following in footsteps" for a contract renewal? Doesn't sit right with me.

[Juuso Henrik Nieminen @JuusoNieminen]

Why is it so tricky to design inclusive assessment that considers the diversity of students? Perhaps assessment and inclusion are simply incompatible. My @AheConference keynote exploring the paradox of inclusive assessment has been published! https://t.co/e56hFWLQkf

It is morally wrong to use AI detectors when they produce false positives that smear students in ways that hurt them and where they can never prove their innocence.

Do not use them. https://t.co/cSBZRHgif5

@bushontheradio I imagine it's been suggested but how about Not Picking Your Dog's Shit Up C*nt...?

[BALEAP TAFSIG (Testing, Assessment and Feedback) @taf_sig]

Check out our chapter in Studies in Language Testing. Lots of useful work in this series for #tleap and assessment folk

[Rob Playfair @RobPlayfair]

Volume 56 of the Studies in Language Testing series includes a chapter from me and @EdTedC about teachers working in #tleap assessment roles.

Lots of other interesting case studies in the volume, too.

AI as tutor and critic: using tech to personalise education
Artificial intelligence can have practical applications for assessment in higher education, despite the focus on the threats it poses. On #THECampus, here are considerations when using AI to support teaching and generate feedback https://t.co/KcKHuxitJf

@sandjg1 @POferriesupdate Yeah it's crazy. Never used @POferries before. Not sure I will again 😬

[Eddie Cowling @EdTedC]

@sandjg1 @POferriesupdate Also been here since 3. And now won't be departing til gone 11pm. The staggering of the delayed timings is either really poor, or just incorrect.

[Eddie Cowling @EdTedC]

@POferriesupdate What a shower of shite this is @POferries. Half way across France get a text telling us to arrive 2 hours early. Obviously not helpful that late on, but foot down & manage it with time to spare. But it's chaos, and ferry is delayed by 2+ hours anyway. Wtf? 🤯

[Eddie Cowling @EdTedC]

@diervilla Congrats Pam! 👏

[Eddie Cowling @EdTedC]

@Sustrans hi do you have any more details about the closure of York cycle track? Will the whole track be closed? Shame it's slap bang in the middle of the school summer holidays!

[Eddie Cowling @EdTedC]

@kel_webb Congratulations @kel_webb that's great news 👏

@FootballCliches (Apart from the 11, but it's a friendly...)

[Eddie Cowling @EdTedC]

@FootballCliches Kid's watching the Day After Tomorrow (2004). Commentary says this is the 63rd minute of "pivotal champions league match between Manchester United and hometown Celtic". For various reasons I don't think any of that's true. Can you help

[Eddie Cowling @EdTedC]

@FootballCliches Been staring since the clip and just cannot see that being Giggs, but many thanks for the help guru
