Importance of Accessible Research with Preprints

Researchers often release preprints of their papers publicly before journal publication to make their work accessible. This practice allows teachers and others to access research without facing expensive paywalls. The availability of preprints like those in the Archive database enables broader engagement with research, ensuring that valuable insights are not limited to academic circles.

Research Update - 31st May 2024

Honestly folks, we've been trying to keep. We really have. But we have so much great content in the fortnightly (or is it bi-weekly?) interviews, that we've had to bite the bullet and switch to weekly podcasts, so that we can still fit in the Research Updates!

Going forwards you'll get a longer interview-style podcast once every two weeks, and a shorter 15-20 minute "Research Update" podcast every two weeks. Filling your Fridays with AI in Education podcast joy!

Here's the links to all the research papers discussed this week:

Remote Proctoring: Understanding the Debate

An MIT Exploration of Generative AI

https://mit-genai.pubpub.org/

MIT - Massachusetts Institute of Technology - have just published a series of really interesting papers about the impact of generative AI on a number of industries, and dive into the implications for society, education, human interaction and other areas. I actually think the whole set are interesting - and they're really easy to get - you can read them on the web, or get a PDF, an ebook, or even an audio book of every one!

We talked about the 3 education ones:
