(AI peers) are people learning from the same standpoint: Perception of AI characters in a Collaborative Science Investigation
While the complexity of 21st-century demands has promoted pedagogical approaches to foster complex competencies, a persistent gap remains between in-class learning activities and individualized learning or assessment practices. To address this, studies have explored the use of AI-generated characters in learning and assessment. One attempt is scenario-based assessment (SBA), a technique that not only measures but also fosters the development of competencies throughout the assessment process. SB…

"My experiences of connection with God and others in the church have kept me coming back. I am hoping against hope that the 21st century church can be an experiential community for the future, a place that more and more people can turn to for a mysterious experience of eternal resonance."

The end of the bloody, US-backed civil wars across Central America led to a brutal neoliberal economic restructuring near the turn of the century — which then helped produce the 21st-century authoritarianism of Salvadoran president Nayib Bukele.

Ad on the tube says 'Humans were the beta test. The era of AI employees is here'.
I can't *imagine* why people are a bit resistant to AI! At least offshoring never advertised on the tube. The enshittification of 21st century life continues.

Sea level rise expected to accelerate even if warming is limited to 1.5C: Study
Rising seas will severely test humanity's resilience in the second half of the 21st century and beyond, even if nations defy the odds and cap global warming at the ambitious 1.5 degrees Celsius target, researchers said Tuesday.

Innovative Tangible Interactive Games for Enhancing Artificial Intelligence Knowledge and Literacy in Elementary Education: A Pedagogical Framework
This paper presents an innovative pedagogical framework employing tangible interactive games to enhance artificial intelligence (AI) knowledge and literacy among elementary education students. Recognizing the growing importance of AI competencies in the 21st century, this study addresses the critical need for age-appropriate, experiential learning tools that demystify core AI concepts for young learners. The proposed approach integrates physical role-playing activities that embody fundamental A…
