Underlining what matters in higher ed and ed tech: news, vendor updates, and commentary from across the field, in one place.https://theunderline.netlify.app/source/edarxiv/https://osf.io/preprints/edarxiv/ydzcf_v1/https://osf.io/preprints/edarxiv/ydzcf_v1/In educational AI, “In-the-Loop” framings (e.g., human-in-the-loop) are presented as systems that secure human-technology balance in enabling timely feedback and personalization. This learning sciences perspective-piece argues that the critical issue is not whether humans participate sufficiently in educational…Tue, 13 Oct 2026 00:15:43 GMTPrajakt PandeResearchhttps://osf.io/preprints/edarxiv/er8dy_v1/https://osf.io/preprints/edarxiv/er8dy_v1/Artificial intelligence (AI) makes it increasingly possible to produce sophisticated intellectual outputs without undertaking the experiences that develop corresponding human capabilities. This weakens a practical assumption of traditional university teaching and assessment: that producing an academic output normally…Mon, 12 Oct 2026 19:50:31 GMTLe Truong TungResearchhttps://osf.io/preprints/edarxiv/gwfpx_v1/https://osf.io/preprints/edarxiv/gwfpx_v1/States invest heavily in producing technical graduates, yet the graduates most valued by an innovation economy are the ones least likely to stay; this study tests whether that pattern holds across credential levels, using an independent source as corroboration. Retention loss is measured by field and credential using…Mon, 12 Oct 2026 19:39:03 GMTAgelo ThalassinidisResearchhttps://osf.io/preprints/edarxiv/ve2f8_v1/https://osf.io/preprints/edarxiv/ve2f8_v1/Some courses limit how much generative-AI help students can obtain in assessed work, expecting scarcity to prompt careful use. A budget shared across tasks also requires students to hold resources back for later needs, and how this shapes their decisions is unclear. In a graded coding-repair task, 125 undergraduates…Wed, 07 Oct 2026 20:35:26 GMTLu Wang et al.Researchhttps://osf.io/preprints/edarxiv/ba69n_v2/https://osf.io/preprints/edarxiv/ba69n_v2/MOOCs, Smart Teaching (ST), and AI-assisted learning support different stages of higher education, yet a unified quantitative basis for analyzing their contributions, course design, and resource allocation remains limited. This study develops a mathematical model integrating MOOC-based pre-class learning, ST-based…Wed, 07 Oct 2026 19:47:28 GMTBo Yuan and Jiazi HuResearch
