Evidence of reducing assessment stress is rare outside of Finland 🙂... check out this zoom meeting recorded as part of a recent City of London Fusion 12 city zoom event https://t.co/2OWhZw8cef

A wonderful international high profile opportunity Simon. Congratulations for being invited and totally agree with your comment. AI could potentially improve this by valuing a much broader spectrum of human capabilities in assessment.

[Simon Buckingham Shum @sbuckshum]

As we speak, an educational assessment infrastructure is driving thousands of students into clinical anxiety, depression and even suicide. If this was an online platform, there'd be an outcry.

Could ed-tech powered by analytics+AI be part of the solution, or make things worse?

Most lists of 21st Century skills don’t cover these embedded traditional teaching and learning capabilities 😊🌈⭐️

@SirKenRobinson He exposed warp, hypocrisy and deception with wit and humour... the future will be better ... thanks for your contribution to the continuing human journey 🌈⭐️

@sbuckshum @mymodernmet Unfortunately they can use just three points to produce the algorithm ... not disguised by the jewellery 👀👃🏼

[Darrall Thompson @darrallt_uts]

@LiverpoolBoysHS Hey Mike... thanks for your leadership and commitment to real systemic change

[Darrall Thompson @darrallt_uts]

@sbuckshum Well done... 🏃🏼‍♂️... is the number they gave you related to kms, people or dates?

[Darrall Thompson @darrallt_uts]

@sbuckshum Universities are complicit in maintaining assessment regimes. We need a joint Uni & School approach using a capability-based assessment framework that spans both levels and supports unique individual performances and contexts without conflation. We know AI + software can do this.

My talk next week is for teachers, friends of teachers, parents, friends of parents and anyone who knows children at school 😊

@malynmawby @STEMed_fUTureS @LiverpoolBoysHS Hi Malyn, there’s a website description at https://t.co/ea9x4DX248 they do 3 month free trials... and there’s a more in-depth appreciation with some video clips of marking happening at https://t.co/daKnIAk0cA.

@DVCEdDeakin @Jisc Good lectures/TED talks r amazing. I used to lecture 45mins on visual semiotics then found a YouTube, Academic from US nailed it in 15 minutes. Students loved it with extra 30 mins interacting/debating the issues. A well edited recording of that interaction would’ve been awesome.

[Darrall Thompson @darrallt_uts]

@Chivonne_Algeo They need self-assessment against well-developed criteria. Entrepreneurship MBA students have interviewed 18 business leaders about using UTS REVIEW software for performance reviews in businesses . They’re presenting results on Friday.

@sbuckshum @tanya_plibersek @jihaddibmp Jihad has said the NAPLAN backflips should teach pollies to listen to experts. Well, being involved with schools on capability assessment, I believe the experts are the Teachers trying to cope with confused and shallow interpretations of that M declaration.
