Most students using AI for homework are unknowingly crossing the "event horizon" of cognitive offloading.
The homework apocalypse is here - and it's destroying how our brains actually learn.

Our brains haven't evolved since agriculture. Real learning should feel frustrating, like "feeling the burn" at the gym. But AI lets students bypass that struggle entirely. At #MootGlobal25, I argued pedagogy AI analytics leads to human-centric education, not AI-centric. (2/3)

I've spent 17 years building BigBlueButton to give every student access to high-quality online education.
This argument guides our roadmap.
Here's my presentation. Feedback welcome - do you agree with my argument?

Is generative AI like hyperprocessed foods for learning? Quick dopamine hits. Immediate satisfaction. Long-term learning deficits. How do we get out of this cycle? I took a deep dive and wrote the following article answer this question. #EdTech blindsidenetworks.com/ai-is-…

I'll be at FOSDEM this year giving a presentation on evolving @bigbluebutton into a platform that others can easily built upon. We're doing this by providing a new plug-in layer for easily extending its functionality. fosdem.org/2025/schedule/eve…

It has been truly gratifying to see the evolution of the Moodle and BigBlueButton integration over the years. It's all towards a single goal: empowering educators to improve our world.
Why did Moodle integrate BigBlueButton into its core? 🔵

Impressive work at tldraw.computer! @tldraw is definitely bringing its "A game" to the AI table. Very glad in the BigBlueButto project that we put all the effort to incorporate tldraw into @bigbluebutton.

Got a poll question you want to share in BigBlueButton? Instead of typing the question and responses in each field, if you have it already as text, you can enable "custom input" and paste it the poll text - BigBlueButton will automatically fill out the fields.
