Blocked homework vs interleaved homework?
Mixing topics and spreading practice across assignments was associated with higher final exam scores in university calculus, with larger estimated benefits among students who had lower earlier scores. nature.com/articles/s41539-0…

This post has stayed with me bc I'm an author on the paper, and have worked on solutions for years -- because recognizing that LLMs are stochastic parroters is super helpful for pinpointing solutions. Here's a thread on solutions! 🧵

Congrats to CSE Prof. Mark @guzdial & collaborators at UMD & Carleton College on $172.8K in @NSF funding for REPS-AI! 🎉
The project helps students across disciplines use GenAI responsibly while keeping learning at the core. 🤖💻

Michigan’s public universities since 2010.
Same state. Same demographics. Same broad economic environment. Similar excuses for decline. U of Michigan, Michigan State, and Michigan Tech grew. The directional universities are all down a lot, and several regional publics lost a third to nearly half their enrollment.

Super excited that @KathiFisler just won the ICER Lasting Impact Award for her 2014 (solo!) paper, "The recurring rainfall problem", which reopened and finally made progress on a 30 year old open education question!

Point, Shoot, Gone
Yes, your phone has an excellent (photographic) memory but unfortunately, you don’t get to borrow it. There’s no usb-cable or Bluetooth connection from your phone to your brain.

I was asked this week about the differences between engineering education and computing education. Here's one way of seeing the contrast >>
Here's the mission of ASEE (asee.org/about-us/who-we-are…): ASEE advances innovation, excellence, and access at all levels of education for the engineering profession. >>

Another reminder that learning needs friction. One of the things we risk losing with AI automation of intellectual work is the kind of 'hard yards' needed to build expertise. Novice work doesn't just produce work, it produces future expertise. arxiv.org/abs/2607.29380
This sign made me think that people at the University must be very uncomfortable in the Summer and eager for Fall

Congrats to Prof @xuwanghci, @HyoungWookJin & co-authors on winning Best Paper at #L_AT_S 2026 for RelianceScope! 🏆
Their study found 44% of student-AI interactions are passive. The fix? Teaching students to ask better questions.
