A few points.
- how do you think assessment would change? As someone who didn't prioritize standardized tests bc my parents thought they were dumb, I was almost optimistic that very advanced AI systems could make assessment obsolete. If the AI is constantly watching out you pick up things and how often you need help, then the assessment is embedded.
- I am older Gen Z, and I definitely struggle with social media use. But I also would say I had a ton of skin in the education game. To this point, I think even with great AI, we'll just see further stratification. If someone wants to learn something, genuinely, then they will learn that thing. I don't think AI changes that.
- begemotz 1y ago- At a macro-level? I honestly do not know if it will at least in my life-time. And, if it does, it won't be due to higher education being proactive. What I can say is that I have a number of colleagues who are doing all paper and pen, in-class assessment. But this will not work for all disciplines. - I agree that those who want to learn will learn. And for these individuals, generic higher education isn't that valuable anyway. However, I am a bit pessimistic about the number that represents, on the whole. And, short-term goals and constraints can undermine these individuals. As with most things, the problem isn't with the thing but with the humans who wield it.
- andrewrn 1y agoDefinitely agreed on that last point, the eternal story of technology. I definitely worry about what the bad humans who wield it will do this time.
