Hard to argue with @ddMeyer that, "Khanmigo Doesn't Love Kids" since it doesn't consistently recognize student progress. Robo-tutors will have a hard time retaining kids and remain a supplement rather than a substitute if they can't solve this buff.ly/3UZlbW2

What happens to the distribution of student grades when they use AI? This study where law students were given GPT-4 access is about the future of law, but it is also a paper about student performance. Take a look at how ability curves compressed with AI! papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

Cool to see some experimentation around hybrid models at established universities, texpanding access, but also, importantly, revenue. As enrollment drops we'll see more of this-- 4 yr universities launching 2 yr colleges buff.ly/3SMMemw


Research shows tweaking GPT-4 to: (1) infer type of student error (2) determine strategy to address the error, and (3) generate a response that incorporates that information is rated near human feedback.  AI is getting better. h/t @ddmeyer buff.ly/3FJNaAl

2-3M kids are homeschooled in U.S. per @WashingtonPost Growth slowed post-COVID, but there are network effects in communities with critical mass. Also, FL now pays parents who home school $8k/yr which is likely to spur more growth. buff.ly/3scYS3j

70% of college students give online and hybrid learning a thumbs-up. Why? It's cheaper, more convenient, often more interactive than a live lecture, and, also, the video has gotten better -- via @EdSurge buff.ly/3jc9Yk5
