Knowledge, Learning, Community

This is kind of a weak paper on a subject I have addressed numerous times (and obviously, that's why I'm linking to it). "Continuous assessment through AI isn't really about the technology at all. It's about a fundamental shift in how we think about learning and human potential. It's about moving from a model of judgment to one of support, from snapshots to stories, from standardisation to personalisation." I called the paper 'weak' because it's mostly a series of qualifications and hedging, rather than a real exploration of the idea. Image: my own, but clipped from a Doug Belshaw post that links it with some other concepts of mine (that's what Kagi gave me when I searched for it).
