Problem is: Neither our work culture nor our education culture incentivizes deep learning. Instead, we're incentivized to economize--to learn only what's needed to finish the task or get the answer right on the test.

So, people use ChatGPT, even when they know they could learn more by other means.
Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

A morning that’s seen disparate ideas that have percolated for months (years!) finally and satisfactorily combine, providing clarity, focus and direction. It wasn’t the work plan for today but oh it feels grand to have thoughts develop into purpose…now to find the time to follow-through #AcademicSky

It's Friday funday! I was suddenly struck by the realisation I should, therefore, attempt to explain our #OpenAccess article (doi.org/10.1177/00380261251388708) with gifs!

We've got #CripTheory, #Disability #HigherEd and #Failure. Buckle up for a thread!

It feels such an indulgence to have taken annual leave in the middle of the semester…but it is also so lush that the stars (and timetables) aligned in such a way as to allow us to celebrate fourteen years since our day on the beach at Playa del Carmen together. He is my rock.

If half term annual leave isn’t a time to spend half a day painting by numbers, then I don’t know when is!
