This week, (perhaps somewhat controversially) I’m sharing a video I made about marking student assignments with AI Chatbots, another video that will help you sign up for the best chatbot for academic writing, and some gems at the intersection of AI and Higher Ed.

What’s the Best AI Chatbot for Academic Writing?
The legendary Professors Inger Mewburn (aka The Thesis Whisperer) and Narelle Lemon recently wrote a 36,000-word book with the help of the AI chatbot Claude.ai You can read more about it here: https://thesiswhisperer.com/2024/05/01/we-wrote-a-36000-word-book-in-a-single-weekend-yes-really/
Their experience made me reflect upon whether Claude.ai really is the best chatbot for academic writing, and I have to say that, currently, it wins hands down!
If you haven’t signed up yet (it’s free!), I made a little video explaining the signup process 👇
