Asset-based Approaches to Student Success
https://edtechdev.wordpress.com/2025/10/01/asset/
In the past, I’ve shared strategies that have been shown to improve #StudentSuccess, but none of those are effective if we or our students have a fixed mindset (belief that intelligence is fixed) or deficit thinking (focusing on what students lack instead of what they bring to the table). The alternatives are growth mindset (intelligence can grow with effort) and asset-based approaches).

Strong claim from a recent article on using AI to evaluate teaching: "AI evaluation removes human bias in teaching assessment" https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666920X25000888
Sort of ironically, I asked AI to evaluate this claim. Gemini 2.5: this is an overstatement, but AI may serve as a "complementary component within a comprehensive, multi-method evaluation framework." https://docs.google.com/document/d/1V0PiO97GgCtLrqnhLlfo1PS7U5sD4kLbl04oPM7Z4aY/edit?usp=sharing
ChatGPT 4.1: The claim is "misleading in its absoluteness" https://drive.google.com/file/d/1p_69vnJnxYyGxGrEMD1BYwahbDGzqMJz/view?usp=sharing

The promise of mastery-based testing for promoting student engagement, self-regulated learning, and performance in gateway STEM courses https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0360131525001551
Used the OLI chemistry course https://oli.cmu.edu/courses/general-chemistry-1-open-free/
"With mastery-based testing, students chose to repeat exams when they struggled.
Repeating tests was linked to an increase in use of online study resources.
Repeating tests was linked to higher final exam grades, especially for first-gen students."

Testing out a #DeepResearch tool on the topic of: Research-Based #Teaching Techniques for Improving Student Retention in Online Courses

Not a bad job although it's a bit short and doesn't provide specific examples and is a bit out of date (flipgrid no longer exists). Doesn't mention most of the techniques I list here: https://canvas.instructure.com/courses/3168265
