Florida School Districts Receive Guidance on New AI Regulations from Leonard J. Dietzen, III

Florida School Districts Receive Guidance on New AI Regulations from Leonard J. Dietzen, III

Leonard J. Dietzen, III, has provided insights on Florida's newly adopted artificial intelligence (AI) regulations for public schools in an article for District Administration. These regulations address the increasing use of AI in educational settings and their implications for school districts. Dietzen emphasized that while a July deadline exists for some policy implementations, certain prohibitions are effective immediately. He advises school leaders to consult with legal counsel to differentiate between immediate restrictions and future policy requirements. The guidance also covers parental notice and opt-in requirements, including the provision of comparable non-AI alternatives. Additionally, Dietzen discussed the importance of building student protections into procurement processes, particularly for tools used in prekindergarten through fifth grade, and limiting vendor use of student data.

Study Explores Student Acceptance of ChatGPT in African Higher Education

Study Explores Student Acceptance of ChatGPT in African Higher Education

A study conducted at Africa's largest distance education institution investigated student acceptance and use of ChatGPT in an Open Distance and e-Learning (ODeL) context. The research utilized an extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) model, incorporating 'Personal Innovativeness' as an additional predictor. Data from 294 students were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling. The findings revealed that 'Habit' was the strongest predictor of both behavioral intention and actual use of ChatGPT, followed by 'Facilitating Conditions,' 'Personal Innovativeness,' and 'Performance Expectancy.' Interestingly, 'Effort Expectancy' was negatively associated with behavioral intention, suggesting that students who found the technology easier to use were less inclined to adopt it when other factors were controlled. 'Social Influence' and 'Hedonic Motivation' did not significantly impact behavioral intention.

Association of Test Publishers Asia Division Event Highlights AI's Disruptive Impact on Assessment Industry

The 2026 Association of Test Publishers Asia Division (A-ATP) event featured discussions on the disruptive influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the assessment industry. A key highlight was Barbara “Bobbi” Kurshan's keynote, "Disrupt or Be Disrupted – Assessment in the Age of AI," which cited the Duolingo English Test as a prime example of disruption to established tests like TOEFL and IELTS Official. The event also explored how AI could be used to assess student writing and provide feedback to educators, a concept discussed by Paul Edelblut. Additionally, Robert Day addressed critical issues concerning security in remotely delivered assessments, emphasizing the need for score users to ask pertinent questions about test security and for organizations to thoroughly vet test delivery partners. The overarching theme throughout the day was the potential of AI to generate feedback for test-takers, an area where high-stakes English tests are noted to be lagging.
