As a lecturer at the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs, where I teach econometrics and research methods, I spend a lot of time thinking about the intersection between data, education and social justice — and how generative AI will reshape the experience of gathering, analyzing and using data for change. My students are working toward a master’s degree in public affairs and many of them are interested in pursuing careers in international and domestic public policy.

Digital badges, microcredentials and digital credentials… What sets them apart, or are they synonymous? Essentially, these credentials share a few attributes: They are skill-specific and emphasize industry-relevant competencies. Moreover, they possess the valuable quality of being stackable, allowing learners to accumulate multiple credentials over time, systematically enhancing their expertise through a portfolio of competencies.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

Plainsboro, NJ As history has shown, it is human nature to invent, from the creation of stone tools to the iphones now used in daily life. Humanity without innovation is a species doomed to extinction, as the world changes and the people do not adapt. Not only this, but emerging technology has always gone hand in hand with the workplace, with every new advancement only existing to aid in the creation of more.

Lahore, Pakistan In the annals of particle physics, July 4th, 2012, marks a momentous date, when the scientific world was electrified by the discovery of a scalar particle - the Higgs boson. This elusive particle existence predicted by the Standard Model, was finally confirmed to exist at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. A heavy and short-lived scalar particle with no electric charge and spin, the Higgs boson would go on to challenge our understanding of the universe in ways

This post first appeared at Grading For Growth on March 13. Instructors are concerned about academic dishonesty like never before. First during the Big Pivot to online instruction in 2020 and continuing today with the rise of generative AI like ChatGPT, the opportunities to cheat have never been so readily available. And it's not just availability that's going up.

ASCII art is text-based visual art that uses ASCII characters to create images. It is a fun and effective way to teach keyboarding because it requires students use a variety of different keys, including the symbols. Here’s a pumpkin I did for Halloween in about fifteen minutes: Are you suitably impressed? Here’s how I did it: Add a watermark of a picture you like, preferably a single image (I picked a pumpkin for Halloween) Type over it with appropriate letters (if you’re more

The Importance of Multiway Systems It’s all about systems where there can in effect be many possible paths of history. In a typical standard computational system like a cellular automaton , there’s always just one path, defined by evolution from one state to the next. But in a multiway system , there can be many possible next states—and thus many possible paths of history.
