RT @InterestingSTEM: Future of education 🤔. She got a 1560 on a SAT - with no teacher since the 2nd grade…. She used “a lot of AI apps” htt….

Preparing Students for the Age of AI, Upheaval, and Opportunity .This blog post is worth a read. But we are finding that many students are still using AI in an ineffective way. That's why we include our study coach on

13/n Exciting times at NewMed as we build a truly evidence-based and student-centred medical education program! Stay tuned for more updates.

12/n ➡️Finally, it demands extensive staff and student training on feedback literacy. Everyone needs to understand how to give and receive feedback effectively.

11/n ➡️Ensuring constructive alignment and that relevance and fairness are baked into our curricular design. ➡️Blended feedback thrives with programmatic assessment and a strong focus on assessment *for* learning.

10/n ➡️Adapting the feedback combination to the learner's level – no one-size-fits-all here!.➡️ Being mindful of and adapting to the diverse cultural backgrounds of our learners. ➡️Clearly defining the purpose of *every* feedback event. Why are we giving this feedback?🤔.

9/n ➡️ Establishing strong, positive relationships between teachers and students.

8/n "Done well" for blended feedback requires several key elements:.➡️ A trusting learning culture where students feel safe to receive feedback.

7/n This leads us to blended feedback!🤝The literature strongly suggests it works very well *if* done right. But what exactly does "done well" mean in this context?👇.

6/n However, online feedback can limit personal connection and trust, lacks immediate dialogue, raises equity of access concerns, and requires tech proficiency.☹️.

5/n Online feedback offers flexibility, multimodality, time for reflection, anonymity, wider reach, and recordability💻.

4/n But F2F also has downsides: its ephemeral nature, potential for student anxiety/embarrassment, logistical challenges, and a higher risk of bias (including leniency bias).😬.

3/n Face-to-face feedback: Obvious wins include trust-building, rich non-verbal cues, direct dialogue, immediate improvement options, and timeliness.👍.

2/n Our design decisions are always based on thorough literature reviews. Our latest deep dive? The advantages and disadvantages of face-to-face, online, and blended feedback for our future medical students.🤔.

1/n So excited about the progress at NewMed, the hopefully soon-to-be-accredited new medical school in Australia! 📷 Our curriculum, assessment, and evaluation programs are not just comprehensive and innovative, but deeply rooted in evidence. #MedEd

The evidence is growing that studying with an AI tutor - but in the right way - leads to better performance.

Learning with an AI tutor is not always intuitive. It is very different from traditional learning and requires a lot of self-regulation and self-direction. That is why now has a whole study coach section to help you with this. Check it out.

But the right Bots must be used & must be used correctly. Learning will always be effortful. Like training to be a top athlete requires effortful practice. But learning should also be engaging. Want to know more, check out and

🌟 AI isn’t replacing education—it’s amplifying it. Universities that embrace AI-powered bots will empower students with personalised, efficient, and equitable learning. Students who embrace them will reach higher levels of competence.

⚠️ The Cost of Inaction.Ignoring AI integration risks creating graduates who aren’t ready for a tech-driven workforce. Health professions, for example, increasingly rely on AI for diagnosis and decision-making. Educators need to prepare students now to prepare for the future.
