For years I've been trying to get any proctoring company to agree to a study where I try to cheat. None have agreed. I've had legal advice not to do such a study without permission from the vendors. I'm delighted to share that someone else has done one:

"The most important findings were that none of the cheating students were flagged by Proctorio, whereas only one (out of 6) was caught out by an independent check by a human agent. The sensitivity of Proctorio, based on this experience, should therefore be put at very close to 0"

Metaphors are useful to understand generative AI and education, but the 'calculator analogy' has its critics. What might be some other ways of conceptualising? Read our new piece led by @jasonmlodge with Suijing Yang @lfurze

You can do hundreds of research interviews with students, read the literature informed by millions more students, etc… but the moment you put one carefully selected student on a conference panel you’ll get a high five for “listening to the student voice”

I usually say "I'm not scared of public speaking, because by comparison, improv is much harder for me". Then I escalated to freestyle rap (don't judge me) and that was the hardest thing I did. Well, today I spoke before a parliamentary inquiry, and wow, it sets the bar

Already heard the claim that authentic assessment assures assessment security at #AHEconf2024 . Unfortunately the evidence doesn’t agree, eg @cathellis13 et al

Contract cheating occurs when a student outsources their assessment to a third party, regardless of the third party’s relationship with the student, or whether money is exchanged. In higher educati...

I've read too many thesis/paper-intro-section literature reviews that did all this stuff but contained zero argument. They leave me thinking "so what?!?!" Don't just summarise the literature - build a case for something.

Great point by @dannydotliu at AAIN conference: if AI detection lags behind genAI by about 6 months, students who pay for AI won’t get caught because they get the latest AI, whereas students who use the free version will get caught. Major equity issue

Just read the statement "Integrity is 100% assured" in an article in The Conversation about a type of assessment. No, no, no. Integrity is never 100% assured, and it's dangerous to assert that it ever can be.
