Overturning a decades-old policy, the US government will soon limit international students to no more than four years in the United States unless they can secure an extension from the US government.

BILOXI, Miss. — When nine young adults tossed their mortarboards into the air at the Little Biloxi Theatre on June 20, it wasn’t their first time graduating from high school. After an emotional celebration that honored the transgender and LGBTQ+ students’ resilience, it became their first graduation without gender-based dress codes or stipulations on how […]

OpenAI is planning a data center in Georgia called "Project Camellia" with a 3.2-gigawatt power deal from Georgia Power. The company pledged $80 million for the local community and $71 million in Codex credits for students to counter growing opposition to US data centers that many residents see as resource-hungry but job-poor.

Machine learning courses often use pre-labeled datasets, hiding the subjectivity of human annotation. This creates students with an overly trusting view of AI data and models, undervaluing interpretive diversity. We investigated whether manual data annotation tasks teach students about subjective labeling. Study Design: An annotation activity was implemented at two universities: Fontys (Netherlands) and IT University Copenhagen (Denmark). Students annotated skin lesion images for hair coverage o

Literacy rates have steadily risen around the world over the last decade, according to a 2025 UNESCO report —important progress on a key UN Sustainable Development Goal, as the ability to read, write, and use numbers is “crucial for thinking critically and navigating information-rich society and economy in a safe, effective and responsible manner.” Access to digital learning has largely been associated with higher test scores for students globally. As technology continues to advance, tech compan

From evolving threat vectors such as AI to the challenge of boardroom education, cyber security leaders face a mounting array of pressures.

When Child Protective Services and a police officer showed up at the home of former Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, he assumed, as many people do, that this was an abuse of an otherwise well-meaning and well-functioning system. But what happened to Buttigieg’s family is not an anomaly. Every day, parents and children torn apart […]

Deep gaze estimation works well in controlled capture but degrades in unconstrained settings, where systems must reject unreliable predictions. Single-pass uncertainty (e.g., heteroscedastic regression) infers uncertainty from pixels without explicit input-validity cues, while sampling based methods are often too costly for real time use. We propose Factor-Informed Uncertainty Distillation (FIUD), a teacher-student framework that aligns uncertainty with interpretable image-quality failure modes.

With generative AI (GenAI) entering classrooms the question to which teaching approach best supports metacognitive skill acquisition in AI-assisted learning becomes pressing. In this short-term longitudinal study we investigate two contrasting approaches: experiential learning encompassing hands-on approaches and instructional learning such as classical lectures. We conducted a quasi-experiment with 126 university students from a first-year engineering course which were distributed across the tw

What GAO Found Since 2000, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) have managed and launched the Don’t Lie for the Other Guy campaign across various cities in the U.S. The campaign is intended to educate the public about the legal consequences of “straw purchases”—when someone who is prohibited from buying a firearm has someone else (a “straw buyer”) make the purchase for them. The campaign also educates federal firearms li

In April, the National Center for Education Statistics reported that the 50 states and Washington, D.C., took in $1 trillion in federal, state and local revenue for K-12 public education in the 2023-24 school year. One. Trillion. Dollars. That’s a remarkable milestone. And while it doesn’t tell the whole story — it represents only revenues, […]

tiny_schiller closes the small-language-model prototyping, fine-tuning, education, and research gap for German literary text, providing a single-file, drop-in counterpart to Karpathy's tiny_shakespeare. The available German literary corpora are larger and richer, but require parser engineering before a single line of training or fine-tuning code can run. tiny_schiller is a 2.07-megabyte single file of eleven public-domain Schiller dramas, sourced from DraCor's GerDraCor export (CC0) and processe

Generative AI is changing a basic premise of educational assessment: that submitted work can reliably evidence the human capacities a credential claims to certify. The challenge is not simply whether students use AI, but what remains inferable about learning when some cognitive work has been delegated to a system. This paper develops cognitive stewardship, a framework for AI-mediated assessment that links the learning claim, delegation boundary, evidence standard, and safeguards. We then audit v

Knowledge distillation (KD) is a standard approach for compressing sequence-to-sequence models, but its per-sample effects are rarely examined. On the BanSum Bangla summarization benchmark, we find that standard KD improves ROUGE-L by only +0.0003 over a cross-entropy baseline, and that approximately 51.3% of training samples are estimated to actively harm student validation loss under standard KD. We propose two complementary reliability-aware distillation methods. CHAD (Counterfactual Harm-Awa

The article examines China’s vaccination policy, focusing particularly on childhood immunisation and pandemic vaccines. Although China’s laws require individuals to engage in the vaccination decision-making process, the policy does not enforce mandatory vaccination through penalties. Instead, it emphasises informed decision-making, allowing and supporting individuals to choose whether to vaccinate or adopt other preventive measures based on their best health interests. The legal fram

‘Live tissue training’, using an anaesthetised live animal substituted for a human patient for the practice of surgical skills, is a controversial topic. Although simulator technologies have developed significantly for inclusion in many areas of surgical education, it is contested that training to manage traumatic injuries requires a model that can bleed and has a dynamic circulation. This article uses the published literature to explore the values at stake regarding live tissue trai

arXiv:2607.19209v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This full paper in the research-to-practice track presents methods for assessing student teams in tabletop exercises (TTXs). TTXs enable learner teams to prepare for workplace tasks and practice crisis responses, such as resolving cybersecurity incidents. While assessment is essential for determining how well teams achieve learning objectives, the complex, open-ended nature of TTXs often leads to delayed or incomplete feedback. TTX learning platfor

The rise of generative AI (GenAI) in higher education has prompted urgent debates surrounding academic integrity and ethical use. This study examines cross-cultural differences in student perceptions of GenAI use, comparing responses from students at Canadian and South Korean universities. Using a scenario-based survey administered in Fall 2024, we analyzed how students judged the ethicality and rule compliance of AI-assisted coding practices. Results reveal that Canadian students were consisten

Background: Digital health literacy is an essential skill for processing health-related information in today’s technology-driven society. Recent literature highlights deficits in digital health literacy among adolescents and legislative initiatives to secure its promotion have been introduced (eg, in the German Social Code Book V). However, few interventions target adolescents; existing programs often overlook critical aspects like graph literacy or lack applicability in schools and rigorous sci
