The Real Question Isn’t Speed—It’s Reliability The actual question for L&D managers is no longer “Can Artificial Intelligence (AI) create content?” but “Can we trust what it creates?” The Governance Gap In AI-Driven eLearning Artificial Intelligence is quickly becoming a co-creator in the development of content in the field of eLearning. However the way in which most organizations are approaching this is through a traditional governance system that was used in the development of content created by humans. This has created a crucial gap. Artificial Intelligence has the potential of generating a lot of content in a short period, but…

In a public hearing on Thursday, Universities of Wisconsin regents stood by their decision to fire system President Jay Rothman, the Associated Press and other news outlets reported. Regents Timothy Nixon and Amy Bogost also offered details on why he was fired, telling lawmakers that multiple factors led to Tuesday’s vote to fire Rothman. Nixon alleged that he failed to address issues such as artificial intelligence with any urgency, sought to restrict public board discussions and open records, tried to limit member interactions with lawmakers, and gave himself credit for accomplishments that were driven by team effort. Bogost, the board…

Jennifer Lee and Kyev Tatum agree that Texas’ Black students do not receive the same academic support as their peers, that schools punish them unfairly and that recent state laws silence Black history and perspectives in the classroom. But the two Black Texans sharply diverge on whether the state’s new voucher program will make education in Texas better or worse for students who look like them. Lee feels confident that vouchers, which allow…

When I started teaching, evening classes were relatively popular with adult students. They were my favorite classes to teach; I used to ask to teach one every semester. Students who had jobs and kids came to class on a mission—they weren’t there to put up with nonsense. In the evening classes, student discipline was never an issue; the older students would shoot the death stare at younger students who got off track, and that was that. All I had to do was teach. I loved it. Over the years, though, online courses largely supplanted evening and weekend classes. Online courses took drive time out…

We all learn in school, or at least from our more rig­or­ous choic­es of sci­ence fic­tion, that we’ll nev­er be able to trav­el faster than the speed of light. At first, this may sound dis­ap­point­ing, but upon reflec­tion, 186,000 miles per sec­ond is noth­ing to sneeze at. Ques­tions about how to achieve that speed soon give way to ques­tions about what an attempt to do so would be like, many of them answered by the ani­mat­ed video from Sci­enceClic above. The first sur­prise is that mov­ing so fast, in and of itself, would have no neg­a­tive effect on us. When…

Ball State University president Geoffrey Mearns has settled a First Amendment lawsuit brought by a former employee fired for a Facebook post about the assassination of activist Charlie Kirk. Suzanne Swierc, a former student affairs staffer, was fired from Ball State in September following a post in which she expressed sadness about Kirk’s death after he was assassinated at an event at Utah Valley University but condemned the conservative firebrand’s rhetoric. “Charlie Kirk’s death is a reflection of the violence, fear, and hatred he sowed,” she wrote in the post, which an unknown person later captured in a screenshot and…
