This week, Prof. Leonard Kleinrock welcomed UCLA Communications professor Tim Groeling's Comms 151 class for a tour of 3420 Boelter, the birthplace of the Internet. The students are researching how computer technology, particularly the Internet, has influenced patterns of human communication. The course includes the history and distinctiveness of computer-mediated communication's (CMC) influence on modern economic, political, and social interaction. Go Bruins! ?? ?? #internet #history #innovation #communication #ucla Photo credit: T. Groeling

In our rapidly evolving digital landscape, the question of whether we are transitioning into a post-literate society is more pertinent than ever. This insightful blog post examines the implications of declining traditional literacy in favor of digital fluency, exploring the potential effects on communication, education, and our cultural fabric. As we navigate this shift, it is crucial to consider how these changes influence our ability to engage, understand, and connect with one another. For a deeper exploration of this thought-provoking topic, read the full post here: [Are we becoming a post-literate society?](https://ift.tt/ye6Xok4)

I am reading and re-reading this excellent article by Leone Gately just published in the Irish Journal of Technology Enhanced Learning - Inhabiting the “Third Space” in Higher Education: A case study on how educational technologists navigate this space in an Irish University https://lnkd.in/eeYJxnsd The author writes: "Nevertheless, the study may resonate and offer insights to those engaged in third space roles, and to other TEL practitioners and scholars both within and beyond the national?sector." It resonates hugely and offers much insight! (This is an image of the Third Space I generated with Midjourney - there is some very random stuff to unpack here :)

At first glance this work by Evagelia Emily T. is about government and policymaking. But if you take the time to digest it, she's unraveling something I've noticed across a range a large-complex-bureaucracies - like large companies or big international bodies - especially the ones that employ anywhere between 5,000 to 200,000 white-collar workers. "What we pay attention to grows, and what we focus on is failure + procedures-not outcomes ...there are two distinct systems of accountability in government: 1) does it work? versus 2) did you follow procedures? The second (compliance) is the one you can be punished for. You will not be punished if it does not work. You will be punished for not following the procedure/process. This means that compliance is prioritized over competency and outcomes, creating convoluted incentives ...that warp our ability to do anything effectively." One person's esoteric is another person's interdisciplinary.
????Update! As some of you know, I've been digging into the role policy schools play in the gap between policy and implementation. I'm excited to share that my exploration has culminated in a published article in an academic journal: IEEE. I dig into how (and why) policy schools (perhaps unknowingly) exacerbate the gap between policy and implementation, and offer some practical suggestions that could work within existing programs. If this (somewhat esoteric…) topic resonates with you or someone you know, let’s connect! A HUGE shout out to the Siegel Family Endowment for supporting and enabling this work. And to the countless colleagues who have shaped my thinking along the way, especially Cori Zarek, Donald Moynihan, Lynn Overmann, Jennifer Pahlka, Greg Jordan-Detamore, Charles Johnson, Andreen Soley, and danah boyd — THANK YOU. #PublicPolicy #Education #Research #PolicyImplementation #AcademicJournal https://lnkd.in/e4Q82-M2

In her Illuminate article, 'O brave new educational world' (page 21), Myvanwy Carr, Head of Year 10, reflects on the technological advances we're experiencing in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. She explores how she has navigated her fear and understanding of these technologies, and how they impact teaching and learning.

Interesting way to summarise AI (and other topical) papers before diving in to read them. Illuminate from #Google... fascinating experiment. Curious, though about how to spot hallucinations using this tool? This insight form factor will: 1. Definitely make it harder to spot when plausible but non-factual premises are arrived at by the AI (ergo, hallucinations), & 2. #DeceptiveAI may be intrinsic by design / as applied or emergent / unintended, in this case based on near perfect anthropomorphism. The 'insight-delivery form factor' here, and the natural very human-sounding podcast-style delivery, naturally would make this seem more trustworthy. I predict that people using this tool will be even less likely to fact check, making 'AI overreliance' more probable when generating AI summaries in this form factor. I'd love to be proven wrong. #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #GenerativeAI #GPTs #Illuminate #AIRisks
Interesting experiment from Google that creates an NPR-like discussion about any academic paper. It definitely suggests some cool possibilities for science communication. And the voices, pauses, and breaths really scream public radio. Listen to at least the first 30 seconds. Link: https://lnkd.in/eCV4tW9Z

Really interesting approach to “translating” academic papers to other formats. The radio format is clearly attractive and, at least in my case, helps maintain attention. Could definitely be used in other areas of knowledge!

One great potential benefit of Generative AI is in learning. Research, for instance, may become far more accessible
