Some thoughts on Quiz Centric Learning My learning philosophy is changing because of the time I’m spending with ChatGPT creating custom quizzes. I read and listen to content WAY too much. Most of what I’m “learning” goes in my working memory and then right into the abyss, to never be remembered again. What’s the point of all this time I’m spending “learning” if it’s not sticking? I want to propose a new approach: Quiz Centric Learning. My goal is to spend as much time quizzing and reflecting on what I’m learning as I do consuming more. We’re drowning in information. We need to find the signals in the noise and then we need to truly learn the signals. This is the way to be more effective. Let me share with you some practical learnings I’m having with the quizzing system (so far): Multiple Choice (so far) has not been great. At a soccer game the other night, I tried to have ChatGPT give me short answer questions. I instructed it to give me multiple choice questions on what I’m learning. The questions were almost entirely trash. They were far too easy. I don’t think the prompt information I provided was great for the type of things multiple choice questions excel at. ChatGPT also got into some funny states. For example, for a time, every single answer was B. Even after I instructed it to stop making the answer be B but to have a random set of answers, it was still B! Grading Rubric My first prompt had a non existent grading rubric and a sparse Instrunction: “give me a grade on my response” I found ChatGPT to be far too kind. Purposefully I gave it a load of crap for an answer and it gave me a B! (It loves the letter B I guess). I’ve since landed on this rubric in the prompt, which is working much better: For grading, use the following rubric: A: I answered this question as well as an expert would B: My answer showed a good understanding of the question but there were things missing that an expert would get C: My answer was satisfactory but was lacking some key points D: I made a word salad with some of the right words but clearly didn’t understand F: I completely missed the topic ... More to come! #HappyLearning

🚀 Unlocking the Power of ChatGPT: Free Learning Resources for AI Enthusiasts 🧠 📚 Summary: Exciting news for AI enthusiasts! A curated list of 16 free ChatGPT courses on Udemy has been released, covering everything from AI art generation to chatbot building and AI strategy. These courses offer: • Diverse topics to suit various interests • Self-paced learning with free video content • In-depth understanding of ChatGPT's capabilities 🌐 Industry Implications: As AI continues to reshape industries, the demand for ChatGPT skills is skyrocketing. These free resources democratize AI education, potentially accelerating innovation and adoption across sectors. We're likely to see: • Increased AI integration in business processes • A surge in AI-powered customer service solutions • More creative applications of AI in content creation and art 💡 My Opinion: This initiative is a game-changer for AI education. By removing financial barriers, we're fostering a new generation of AI-savvy professionals. However, the lack of certificates might limit formal recognition. I believe the real value lies in practical application – learners should focus on building projects and portfolios to showcase their newfound skills. 🤔 Food for Thought: How can we bridge the gap between free online learning and industry recognition to ensure these skills translate into career opportunities? #AIEducation #ChatGPT #FreeOnlineCourses #ArtificialIntelligence #TechSkills

You’ve written a brilliant course, people are engaging with it, you’re hitting all your stakeholders’ targets, but then the hitch—assessments. To pass each module, learners have to get 80% (for some random reason) on each quiz. But here’s the thing: how do you know the course takers aren’t using ChatGPT or another AI tool to cheat on the assessments? Having worked in higher education, I’m pretty sure I’ve seen every kind of cheating under the sun. And to be honest, I’m not really against using tools—because in a professional context, you’d use anything that helps you get the job done. #learninganddevelopment #EdTech #AIinEducation #LearningTransfer The real question is whether those assessments are doing their job. Essays in exam settings might seem like a good way to evaluate knowledge in schools, but in the workplace? Let’s face it—how often does anyone need to write an essay on the job? And most of us cram for exams only to forget 95% of what we learned within days. The EdTech geek in me also wants to be able to use all these exciting tools to reduce the workload of those marking tests, not increase the workload with endless essays. In the workplace, it’s less about passing a test and more about showing you can apply what you’ve learned. For example, if someone takes training on an LMS, they need to be able to use that LMS by themselves. That’s learning transfer—and that’s where models like Bloom’s Taxonomy or LTEM come in. But here’s the kicker: with AI in the mix, how do we design assessments for our courses that actually measure learning? In schools, we need to ensure learners genuinely understand and retain knowledge. In the workplace, we need to show that learning has a real impact on performance, behaviour etc. So, what do you think? How do we get around these challenges? Should we rethink assessments entirely, embrace the tools, or find new ways to measure learning?
