Beyond the Redesign Rhetoric: Labour, Power, and the Hidden Costs of AI-Ready Assessment
What does it really mean to redesign assessment in response to AI?
This blog post explores how institutional structures, labour dynamics and managerial logics shape what kind of assessment redesign is possible. It argues that the call to “redesign assessment” often ignores the conditions under which such work is expected to happen.
How can we create the time, trust and infrastructure to support assessment that is meaningful, critical and educationally purposeful?

No proof Jelly Roll announced he would invest $20M to create dog sanctuary and rescue

Starmer bazelt nog net niet over 'rivieren van bloed'.
Voor wie denkt: "zie je wel, er is geen verschil tussen links en rechts"- trap er niet in.
Er is helemaal níets links aan Starmer.
Fantasieloze managerstypes als Starmer zien idealen slechts als een inwisselbaar marketingpraatje. Hun psychopathologie brengt een enorme machtshonger met zich mee. Als ze denken dat dat een zeteltje op kan leveren, zwepen ze met een gerust hart mensen op tegen vluchtelingen, of moslims, of joden - net wat even beter uitkomt.
Maar wat #Starmer ermee zal bereiken is hetzelfde als wat het centrum de afgelopen jaren al deed: het enige wat ze machtiger maken is niet zichzelf maar extreemrechts.

We need help with our 200 for TROM Campaign - tromsite.com/donate/ - we have a bit over 40% of the needed support. We only accept 5€ a month donations to not have to rely on a few individuals donating more money. We need to make this sustainable.
Unfortunately the support over the past months has dropped a little bit. So if you can, please support us.
On the same page you can see what you are supporting. We hope this year to bring new projects to TROM, although it is terribly difficult to do so when you can't even get the minimum support needed to run the current projects.
We have been resilient since 2011 so we will not give up, but the ones who see value in such projects need to support them at least a little bit in order for these projects to survive.
Many thanks to those who keep on supporting us!

You've got to love #capitalism
This app will interrupt your day
with a bell at random times,
to remind you to NOT let your mindfulness be interrupted.
The app is free.
If you don't want to be interrupted
You got to pay.

Thank you, that's sweet. However, I didn't install it, nor did it scare me.
I was pointed to it by someone, and didn't need it as I already have an alarm on my phone, but read the small text anyway out of curiosity. I actually thought it was quite funny. Although I agree with you it's funny in a harrowing way, just as capitalism almost always is.
The app is recommended by some therapists. I think those therapists may be in need of some therapy themselves.
Also I REALLY recommend everyone to read the Terms Of Service (especially about privacy & costs) before installing ANY app. It's quite unbelievable what people will install without checking, and what commercial app stores (Google, Apple) will allow.
"Although I agree with you it's funny in a harrowing way, just as capitalism almost always is."
I wish I found it surprising that you apparently feel the need or impulse to express agreement with me on a position I never took.
"You said harrowing, I agree."
Me using a single word does not mean I'm agreeing with any phrase you decide to insert that word into.
"What's wrong with that, and why do you seem to be insulted now? I'm thanking you?"
I'm hardly insulted. I'm just pointing out that your commentary is flawed.

A deserted fun park where we stayed for many days - videos.trom.tf/w/xyEUcN6iuYSdJ…
Isla del Zujar is probably a popular place in the summer, but off season it is totally deserted. And no phone service at all. But we had plenty of solar power and satellite internet so we could stay for many days there. It was very relaxing, quiet, dark, and some hiking places near by. So nice!

Reclaiming Assessment Through Annotation
I have just published a new blog post: Reclaiming Assessment Through Annotation
Annotation is often treated as a peripheral academic skill. But what if we made it central to how we assess learning in online and distance education?
In this post, I explore how annotation supports critical digital pedagogy, enables authentic forms of assessment, and offers resilience against the growing influence of generative AI.
