I interviewed @jondron about Generative AI in Higher Education, for our new @LivUni podcast series- podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/livun… #AI #edutech

Thanks @greeneterry for setting How Education Works to music! Listen to it at "EZ Learning - Audio Books with Beats" via #spreaker spreaker.com/show/ez-learni…
@timbocop @petergoodyear @sbayne @jar @davecormier @hamacleod @mjhenderson @HGCarbonel @catherinecronin @Czernie @leohavemann I’m going with Alexander, C. (1988). A city is not a tree. In J. Thackara (Ed.), Design After Modernism: Beyond the Object (pp. 67–84). Thames and Hudson, en.bp.ntu.edu.tw/wp-content/upl…
@markwarschauer @DrAnaPinto I like that idea, Mark - definitely do-able. Let’s talk some more.

@vahidm I (humbly) think my model is much richer, more universal, and far more explanatory, but it’s complementary. TPACK is a very good practical framework to help teachers on the front line grapple with some of the important complexities of the traditional teaching role.
@vahidm It’s a useful tool for sense-making (there was once a section comparing it with mine in the book, cut during one of the rewrites). T,P, and C are all kinds of T, from my perspective, but there are many other technologies that matter, sometimes more.
Hot off the press after many years of simmering, the open access version of my book, How Education works, is free to view or download at aupress.ca/books/120320-h… (print and e-book versions coming soon)
@vahidm It’s in progress - taking longer than expected!
10 minute chats on Generative AI - a great series, now including an interview with me. What I spoke about is at jondron.ca/10-minute-chat… - thanks @timbocop
@greeneterry For what it’s worth, I think it’s an utterly brilliant idea, and I strongly support this excellent remix.

@CardanoGPT @AthabascaU Delightfully self-referential! “Based on” only loosely. There is at least as much invention as recall in its ‘insights’. The problem is that it’s hard to distinguish the two, especially for the LLM itself. Right now, it’s an over-confident unreliable witness
Now available! A timely book by @jondron that reframes popular families of educational theory and explains phenomena such as failures of learning style theories, literacies, the prevalence of cheating, and differences between online and in-person learning. aupress.ca/books/120320-h…
@terguy Thanks Terry! As I mention in the acknowledgements, the book would not be the same without you. Thank you for all the wonderful conversations that have helped me to understand #howeducationworks.
Look what just arrived on my doorstep! #howeducationworks from @au_press is now available in print and e-book formats jondron.ca/look-what-just… via @jondron
