           I will be pausing my X-activities until the rising toxicity encouraged by Mr Musk will have abated. Please join me over at  https://t.co/GinoVxTjiX  where it feels like Twitter again.

             What can I say? I just love sharing the calming presence of my (non-AI) cows, like my late grandfather's did when I was a boy 😁 Thank you having me at today's excellent and inspiring panel discussion, @QAAtweets 🙏 Just like my cows, we should approach AI with a calm mind! 
           The winner of the award for most brilliant video backdrop at our online Annual Conference 2024 will surely be @DrKristandl, currently part of a fascinating discussion of the impact of Generative AI on the future of higher education.

             It's been a month now since winning an #NTFS award, and I still cannot believe it 😁 Thank you, @AdvanceHE, for the shout-out! P.S.: Are there branded NTF t-shirts or lapel pins? 😁

             AI use on homework is causing teachers to search for solutions. One emerging option is the use of "process tracking" software that monitors student's word processor as they write The implications of these are unclear. Here is @AnnaRMills review of one:

             No, you don't have a cheating-proof or AI-proof assessment design. You just have a lack of imagination.

             Had some fun with #GenAI this week, reimagining myself as an astronaut ready to plant my (Austrian) flag on the moon. Just like space exploration, AI is opening new horizons for education. Ready to take the leap? #AIinEducation #HigherEd #FutureOfLearning

             Just in case you've seen the fake reference detector GPT designed for use by journal article reviewers and are considering using it... don't do that. Reviews are confidential, and those publishers who mention using AI in reviews explicitly forbid it e.g.
