70% of college students give online and hybrid learning a thumbs-up. Why? It's cheaper, more convenient, often more interactive than a live lecture, and, also, the video has gotten better -- via EdSurge buff.ly/3jc9Yk5

This speech by ECB's Mario Draghi starts off very wonky, but ultimately is the most compelling argument I've seen for why now is the moment for greater European integration, and the benefits that would ultimately unlock buff.ly/3tvgA2j

2-3M kids are homeschooled in U.S. per @WashingtonPost. Growth slowed post-COVID, but there are network effects in communities with critical mass. Also, FL now pays parents who home school $8k/yr which is likely to spur more growth. buff.ly/3scYS3j

Research shows tweaking GPT-4 to: (1) infer type of student error (2) determine strategy to address the error, and (3) generate a response that incorporates that information is rated near human feedback.  AI is getting better. h/t Dan Meyer buff.ly/3FJNaAl

Cool to see some experimentation around hybrid models at established universities, texpanding access, but also, importantly, revenue. As enrollment drops we'll see more of this-- 4 yr universities launching 2 yr colleges buff.ly/3SMMemw

What happens to the distribution of student grades when they use AI? This study where law students were given GPT-4 access is about the future of law, but it is also a paper about student performance. Take a look at how ability curves compressed with AI! papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

📣 We're on the Ed-Technical podcast Partner Benoit Wirz had an ace time speaking to Libby Hills (Jacobs Foundation) and Owen Henkel (University of Oxford) on the BOLD podcast about 🔮 "opportunities we see for AI potentially improving the student learning experience." #Edtech

Hard to argue with @ddMeyer that, "Khanmigo Doesn't Love Kids" since it doesn't consistently recognize student progress. Robo-tutors will have a hard time retaining kids and remain a supplement rather than a substitute if they can't solve this buff.ly/3UZlbW2
