Moving from ad hoc AI use to systematic integration
AI in FTP processes involves multiple stakeholders using tools episodically and without clear frameworks—creating risks and missed opportunities. Organisations face a fundamental choice: systematic integration with explicit frameworks that strengthen core purposes, or reactive prohibition that drives use underground where learning can’t happen and quality can’t be assured.

From oppression to liberation – PBL2025 conference
Institutional responses to AI—detection software, control policies—reveal that education has always measured proxies for learning rather than learning itself. PBL’s foundational commitments to agency, collaborative knowledge construction, and authentic problems position it to respond differently, enabling students to maintain control over meaning through context sovereignty while developing evaluative judgement about what deserves to exist.

AI and Fitness to Practice in Nursing
AI tools are already embedded in nursing education, but their use in fitness to practice processes raises profound questions about professional judgement, equity, and authenticity that blanket policies cannot adequately address. Instead of avoiding this messiness, we need to work out how to use these tools in ways that actually serve students, even when that…

Reimagining HPE with AI – Council of Deans of Health
When students use AI to bypass meaningful learning, they show that our assignments were already completable without real engagement. Using AI to optimise for grades over understanding makes this strategic behaviour more visible. The real issue isn’t the technology—it’s the misaligned incentives that reward compliance over authentic learning.

Condemning AI in education while requiring Turnitin
This post briefly explores the contradiction in higher education’s approach to student data: condemning AI companies as “predatory” while mandating student submission to Turnitin’s commercial database. Unlike AI services offering opt-out options, plagiarism detection systems provide no choice. Are we applying consistent principles to educational technology, or simply protecting the status quo?

Efficiency in teaching is important, but learning is importanter
When we focus solely on how AI can automate teaching tasks, we miss its transformative potential for learning. The question isn’t whether AI can grade papers faster, but whether it might help learners navigate complexity, connect diverse perspectives, and construct meaning in ways previously unimaginable in traditional educational environments.

People are not content generators
There are different ways of framing our engagement with AI, and the focus on content generation misses an opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of generative AI as a paradigm-changing technology.

AI is not neutral. Neither is education.
While critics debate AI and education neutrality, they’re missing the point: nothing humans create is value-neutral, including education.
