@elerrantenomad Fascinating. Who painted this portrait?

[Yasin Dahi @ymdahi]

@PhilOnEdTech Phil do you have anything that looks like this graph but tracks LMS core features over time?

[Yasin Dahi @ymdahi]

Can #OER be engaging?

In the last 30 days 18,000 students have interacted over 1,000,000 times with OER built with H5P.

(Interactions = click somewhere on the activity, and doesn't include things like submitting a quiz)

Based on pageviews, that's a ~68% engagement rate.

@ARWalz @creativecommons Thanks for sharing, Anita - really like this answer. I wonder: do you ever license both separately?

Here's a prime example: https://t.co/vyeZVw1p8p

The code is licensed (Apache), but the content is not. Could I use the content outside the context of the code?

[Yasin Dahi @ymdahi]

Hey #OER #CreativeCommons #OpenSource & #OpenEducation folks, how would you answer the following:

"Why not use GPL, MIT, or other licenses instead of CC? A webpage's content can't be abstracted from it's code, so it's technically all software"

[Yasin Dahi @ymdahi]

@Kazanjy Interesting, disagree with some points, but other points are spot on. What do you do with the Bs?

[Yasin Dahi @ymdahi]

Students will definitely use AI to automate note taking. This means your in-person lecture is defintely being 'sent' to some AI endpoint.

It would be much better if schools made this a part of the learner experience, no?

[Linus ✦ Ekenstam @LinusEkenstam]

Students, this for you.

A real-time AI powered note taker (@StudyFetch).
Instantly get your lecture notes live during sessions.

Don't worry if you zone out, just ask the AI what the professor just said and it got your back.

The future is augmented. Links below.

If you are looking for the 'ah-ha' moment of how #Teaching will merge with #AI, well... here it is:

AI will be the 'over the shoulder' instructor for students, providing them much needed scaffolding as they learn new systems.

Teaching will become more about technical writing.

🤯 with @openai Whisper + TTS + GPT4V, you can just permanently share your screen with an AI and talk to it to get help on anything on screen.

a generally intelligent assistant for your digital life.

with a bit more engineering you could probably feed it extra docs and context based on the currently active tab/app.

[Yasin Dahi @ymdahi]

I know the answer to this question, but I'll ask anyway:

how would you feel about ads being shown on your #OER to students? e.g. if ads were used as a way to make the OER authoring platform 100% free forever for everyone.

[Linus ✦ Ekenstam @LinusEkenstam]

Madness, @sama builds a custom GPT using private knowledge in just under 4 minutes.

Then he goes on to share it.

There will be millions of GPTs.

[Yasin Dahi @ymdahi]

Bottom line:

1. Students will be feeding your content/IP into AI.
2. Quizzes alone are probably not enough to gauge learner comprehension.
3. You can't fix this with procotoring either.

[Yasin Dahi @ymdahi]

Noticing a trend in Students using #AI to completely bypass quizzes:

Steps:
1. Download the content the quiz is based on (e.g. Modules 1-4)
2. Train one of many readily available AI engines on this content
3. Copy/paste the quiz question into the AI app
4. Get the answer from AI

[Yasin Dahi @ymdahi]

Students can use free/affordable no/low-code AI chatbot engines like https://t.co/46kvuI1kJy to create an AI Cheat Engine in a few minutes.

More tech savvy students can build AI-enabled pipelines directly on their laptops/phones.

[Yasin Dahi @ymdahi]

@javilopen Wow, hard to believe - and I wouldn't if the source code / prompts weren't right there.

[Yasin Dahi @ymdahi]

If you teach language, in any way and especially creative writing, you should definitely think about teaching your students #TextFX:

[Linus ✦ Ekenstam @LinusEkenstam]

Text FX

Google silently dropped this new AI powered tools for rappers, writers and wordsmiths in collaboration with Lupe Fiasco

Technology has been paramount to Hiphop/rap

This is just the latest tool in that tool box of samplers, drum machines & recorders

Had the pleasure of chatting with Terry all things #EdTech #OER, and to tell the story of @LearnfulLabs - come and take a listen :)

[Yasin Dahi @ymdahi]

@JRDingwall It's trained on the school's KB, documents, tickets, etc. When asked something like "what tool should I use for live polling in a hybrid class" it will provide a list of tools that avail, ask follow up questions, provide examples from educators, guide them to links.

[Yasin Dahi @ymdahi]

Building interesting #AI at work: an Instructional Chatbot that aims to help educators & #InstructionalDesigners with #EdTech, Design, TechSupport. It's a conversational #chatbot and, yes, it's kind of freaky how good it is.

More on this soon.

[Yasin Dahi @ymdahi]

@JRDingwall It's kind of neat. I don't see it being all that useful to highly experienced educators/IDs, but folks new to digital learning or teaching in general (or perhaps new to the school's approach) may benefit greatly.
