Starting this semester, the University of California San Diego will require all students to complete a climate change course and demonstrate the ability to understand and address climate change.

We should require any political leader taking office to do the same.
A knowledge of climate change is required of all candidates for a Bachelor’s degree who are admitted to UC San Diego as a first-time, first-year student in Fall 2024 or thereafter. About the Jane Teranes Climate Change Education Requirement The establishment of this new graduation requirement for incoming first-year students, beginning fall 2024, is designed to empower our students with the knowledge and skills needed to confront the urgent global challenge of climate change. UC San Diego has long been a leader in climate change research. The JTCCER builds upon the faculty’s commitment by expanding educational engagement with climate change across a range of disciplines and responds to the growing demand by undergraduates for climate-related courses and content. Starting with the first-year student cohort entering in fall 2024, candidates for the Bachelor’s degree will be required to complete a one-quarter course approved by the Academic Senate to fulfill the JTCCER.

This is what's so baffling about so many suggestions for AI in the humanities classroom: they mistake the product for the point. Writing outlines and essays is important not because you need to make outlines and essays but because that's how you learn to think with/through complex ideas.

I'm sure many have said this before but I'm reading a student-facing document about how students might use AI in the classroom (if allowed) and one of the recs is: use AI to make an outline of your reading! But ISN'T MAKING THE OUTLINE how one actually learns?

It's really interesting when you get accommodations letters for disabled students and you can say to them (and yourself), "All of these are already addressed in my course for all students because I run an accessible classroom."

Just sayin!

A nature “themed” #HigherEd #FacDev conference without a single session talking about climate change makes me want to bawl my eyes out. It’s too much.

Adjunct instructors deserve professional development
They are key contributors to student educational success, yet relatively few receive adequate professional development, write Anna Conway and Thomas J. Tobin.

Finally read the full paper and I'm on board. Calling AI errors hallucinations suggests they have perception and that something goes wrong when in fact, the process is the same whether the output is meaningful or not. Better to refer to it as bullshit - no regard for the truth.

#AcademicSky
Recently, there has been considerable interest in large language models: machine learning systems which produce human-like text and dialogue. Applications of these systems have been plagued by persistent inaccuracies in their output; these are often called “AI hallucinations”. We argue that these falsehoods, and the overall activity of large language models, is better understood as bullshit in the sense explored by Frankfurt (On Bullshit, Princeton, 2005): the models are in an important way indifferent to the truth of their outputs. We distinguish two ways in which the models can be said to be bullshitters, and argue that they clearly meet at least one of these definitions. We further argue that describing AI misrepresentations as bullshit is both a more useful and more accurate way of predicting and discussing the behaviour of these systems.

This morning I drove to work not thinking about how teachers will address student concerns about the violence in Israel and Gaza. But rather I was thinking about what kind of support teachers were receiving to help them prepare for addressing their students concerns. #EduSky

I just received a request from an instructor for a pedagogical consultation where we could "purposefully reflect" on the things that worked and didn't work in their course. That small phrase made my educator heart SO happy! #EduSky #HigherEd #FacDev #EdDev
