An Office 365 menu (on my employer's site), offering to install "Microsoft 365 apps" or "Get More Apps" with two Copilot tabs: "Microsoft 365 Copilot desktop app / Boost your productivity with our free Microsoft 365 Copilot desktop app" and "Microsoft 365 Copilot mobile app / Take your productivity on the go with our free iOS and Android app." (It's "free" to users, presumably, not my employer.)
So, I'm curious how their terms can say that copilot is "for entertainment purposes only" and that copilot makes mistakes while they also push us to use it at work for "productivity." That seems a tad contradictory... #cdnpse #0365

It depends on the efforts made to promote the programs. There are often real asymmetries in university branding & program promotion. Additionally, there seems to be no clear plan for where the humanities fit. What are the consequences if all universities take this path? #onpoli #cdnpse

"What we need to ask ourselves is whether our assessments measure what we claim to value: reasoning and judgment, applied problem-solving, authenticity and reflection, and defensible evidence of learning." Read more on the Academica Forum: https://ow.ly/c1gz50YzUNk
