Thanks to @rob_shand for leading this article about school district evidence use in budget decision-making tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.… Should eventually be open access. We certainly learned a lot from @JCPSKY through this @IESResearch-funded RPP. #EvidenceUse
New report from @insidehighered with insights into how IHEs are—or are not—harnessing technology for instructional or operational purposes. Some reassuring trends but, overall, this adds to my concerns that many IHEs are not keeping up with the times. insidehighered.com/news/tech…
Educators & students learned how AI is being used and how it works, possible benefits and harms. They became more optimistic about potential benefits to society & about their own abilities to contribute to shaping the future of AI. Pretty amazing after a few hours of exposure!
Here's my recently completed evaluation of @MIT's Day of AI initiative dayofai.org/ which offers free K-12 AI literacy curricula. Much needed and well-received initiative. edresearcher.net/eval-day-of… @CCSSO @csteachersorg @CSforALL @ISTEofficial @ASCD @NASSP @NAESP @NASBE

Will be joining @The_CAP_Project colleagues Jaunelle Pratt-Williams and @rob_shand, + an @IESResearch program officer on Tues 8/29 at 2pm Eastern to help answer anyone's Qs about cost analysis/CEA for this year's IES RFAs.
Have questions about the cost analysis requirements for this year's IES RFAs? We are offering a free TA session, joined by an IES program officer, on Tues 8/29 at 2-3pm Eastern time. Register here norc.zoom.us/meeting/registe… @IESResearch @sreesociety
Final 2 reports on our longitudinal study of MOOC-based alternative credentials: Employer Support for Employee Participation in Alternative Credentials edresearcher.net/2023-2 and Benefits of Earning Alternative Credentials: One-Year Follow-up edresearcher.net/2023-3. Time for employers to step up their support for employee talent development! @HigherEdSurge @coursera @edXOnline
I am banking on online modules being a cost-effective way to disseminate information and provide free TA. Working with super-talented itsedumentary.com/, this yr we launched modules on cost analysis and CEA capproject.org/modules-welco… and modules on applying cost-utility analysis to school and district decision-making edresearcher.net/about-asses… @CCSSO, @GreatCitySchls @ASBOIntl @AASAHQ
In a new guest blog, researchers from @The_CAP_Project discuss their free, online modules that support researchers in developing a cost analysis. ies.ed.gov/blogs/research/po…

AI promises to change the way teachers work in both K-12 edweek.org/teaching-learning… and in higher education insidehighered.com/news/tech…, hopefully in ways that both improve the learner experience and make the profession more attractive @CCSSO @NASBE
Here's the webcast. I think we concluded that the next question to ask is whether non-degree credentials are valuable enough to employers to merit financial support for employees earning them. youtube.com/watch?v=8TwDyWBr…

Want a deeper conversation about AI in Education? We're planning a year long deep dive into critical topics in AI - collaborative sensemaking. Monthly themes kicked off with an expert lecture...then community engagement around implications. Register here: graile.ai/sensemaking-lectur…
Free @IESResearch-funded series of asynchronous online modules on cost analysis and cost-effectiveness analysis. A long overdue and much needed resource for education researchers and practitioners.

So people are finally figuring out that quality learning experiences actually cost something? Better late than never....

This report from @UPCEA and @CollegisEdu on employer perceptions of micro/alternative credentials is the perfect complement to our recent report edresearcher.net/2023-1 on what learners perceive to be the benefits and costs of earning such credentials. collegiseducation.com/resour…

94% of learners who completed a @coursera Specialization or @edXOnline MicroMasters claim to have learned something new, 38% felt they improved job performance and 23% improved their English. See our just released report at edresearcher.net/2023-1
I am all in favor of online courses but, as per comments from me and others in this incisive @insidehighered article by @susan_dagostino, they should offer learners more than just convenience. insidehighered.com/news/2023…
Why is getting journals to instate open access often harder than wrangling an alligator? This one took many email exchanges over a couple of months but it's finally in place! "Does ESSA Assure the Use of Evidence-based Educational Practices?" journals.sagepub.com/doi/epu…
