Whew, made @amandalovestoaudit.bsky.social 's #HERDSA2025 mash up dinner post. Also taking full credit for planting the seed for her to get selfie with Andrew Norton ;-)
Congrats to the #herdsa2025 social team for a great conference dinner!
Highlight was when @andrewjnorton.bsky.social said yes to a selfie! Amazing food, venue was great and the art activity was 🤌. Can’t wait to see the Photo Booth pics!

It was a great pleasure to be on the #HERDSA2025 panel on AI this afternoon. I thought I'd post direct links to the resources I mentioned as good ways to keep up with and make sense of genAI in education. Just a few picks to get you started - there are so many amazing people in this space.

I had so many neurospicy 🌶️ people come up after my research presentation and my #herdsa2025 keynote - we had such awesome chats - I feel like we need to figure out how to make this a thing 🤔

Listening to the Panel session at #herdsa2025 and brevet heard him speak before but Thomas Corbin (Deakin, CRADLE), and he is quite funny. Love the fact he dropped the f-bomb too. Very authentic

Reached the final panel session at #HERDSA2025, "not just another GenAI panel" with promises of real experiences and responses.

I promised not to heckle Thomas ... So guess I need to share the panel's wisdom online instead

I attended this because it had programmatic assessment in the title. Turns out @priyakhanna.bsky.social is part of the team and this preso is actually about student evaluation of teaching.
