Shortly after rumors leaked of former President Donald Trump’s impending indictment, images purporting to show his arrest appeared online. These images looked like news photos, but they were fake. They were created by a generative artificial intelligence system. Generative AI, in the form of image generators like DALL-E, Midjourney and Stable Diffusion, and text generators like Bard, ChatGPT, Chinchilla and LLaMA, has exploded in the […] … learn more→

Since 2020, each middle and high school class must have elected one or two eco-delegates . They are, in a way, spokespersons for the issues of sustainable development with their peers and can implement actions in establishments such as the installation of composters or the reduction of food waste. Our analysis of the institutional frameworks supplemented by the […] … learn more→

AI models indeed need to be trained, […] … learn more→

In 2008, I published my book Visible Learning, which aimed to explain what works best to help student learning. At the time, others claimed it was the world’s largest evidence-based study into the factors that improve learning. The book was based on 800 meta-analyses (a statistical analysis that combines the results of multiple studies) of 50,000 […] … learn more→

Imagine what life would be like if you couldn’t recognise your own family and friends unless they told you who they were. Now imagine no one will believe you and that even your doctor dismisses you, saying everyone forgets names sometimes. Two recent studies show this is a common experience for people with a brain […] … learn more→

If you’re a college student and you’re renting a place close to campus, there may come a time when something within your home, or with the home itself, breaks down. When this happens, you’ll obviously want to fix the problem as soon as you can. Below, we’ll explain what you need to do when something […] … learn more→

One of the priorities of the federal government’s sweeping Universities Accord is to improve employment conditions in higher education. This is long overdue. Australia’s university sector once set the standard for working conditions but sadly this is no longer the case. Now the sector is plagued by an over reliance on casual staff, stress, burnout and precarious work […] … learn more→

Bullying is the main coexistence problem faced by schoolchildren. It is not an isolated phenomenon, but rather has a manifest presence in a large number of schools. In this sense, there are many initiatives carried out by schools for its prevention and detection, collected, in the Spanish case, in institutional documents such as the Coexistence and Equality […] … learn more→
