OL Daily, Stephen Downes

  • Rick Perlstein, The American Prospect, Apr 24, 2024 There are many ways to read this article. I'm here for the way the author criticizes billionaires, but that's not why I'm sharing it, that's just a bonus. No, what I ask readers to consider is what we want the outcome of an education to be by […]
  • Dan Luu, Apr 24, 2024 Web bloat is something I take seriously because it impacts both cost and performance. If the reader is using a slower or less powerful device, accessing online services can be difficult or at times impossible (think about how unresponsive some shopping or airline sites are, for no good reason). This […]

  • Durable skills are not only a real thing but a civilizational shift. AI is not the cause. It's an accelerant and a wake-up call. Particularly when working with AI, I argue that teaching skills are durable skills. The post Teaching Skills are Durable Skills with AI appeared first on e-Literate.
  • No matter how good a technology is, it still has to have the right capabilities to solve your problem. If you need a hammer to hang a picture and I hand you sledgehammer, you'll find a rock to use instead. AI is no different. The post AI in EdTech: How it Breaks in Subtle Ways […]
  • Generative AI "hallucinations" aren't going away. That's OK. If we understand their limitations rather than just labeling them with hysterical language, we can gain tremendous benefits from them while protecting ourselves from the consequences of their limitations. The post How You Will Never Be Able to Trust Generative AI (and Why That’s OK) appeared first […]
