LINK to short video: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/mousel_agenticai-browseruse-manusai-activity-7304589681105506304-IxO8 There’s been a lot of buzz lately around the new Manus AI, but let’s not overlook how powerful Browser Use has become since its release. With continuous improvements, Browser Use can autonomously navigate online courses—completing assignments, quizzes, and discussions without genuine student input. In this video, with a simple prompt, I demonstrate how easy it is for the free Browser Use tool to log into an LMS, take a quiz, and write and submit an assignment.

Benj Edwards, Ars Technica https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2025/09/study-finds-neurodiverse-workers-more-satisfied-with-ai-assistants Excerpt: While tech companies market AI as a productivity tool for everyone, a UK government study reveals an unexpected result: Neurodiverse employees may be benefiting far more from chatbots than their neurotypical colleagues. The UK’s Department for Business and Trade recently released evaluation results from its Microsoft 365 Copilot trial showing that while overall satisfaction was 72 percent, neurodiverse employees reported statistically higher satisfaction (at a 90 percent confidence level) and were more likely to recommend the tool (at a 95 percent confidence level) than other respondents. “It’s leveled the playing field,” one participant with…

Anna Mills shared this free webinar she’ll be hosting through the CVC OEI initiative. Description: Building Your Own Multi-Pronged Approach to Reducing AI Misuse in Writing Assignments Thu, September 18, 2025; 1:00 PM Duration: 60 minutes Presenter: Anna Mills Most educators now acknowledge that no single strategy can prevent students from outsourcing their writing to AI—especially in online, asynchronous courses. And yet we must not and need not abandon writing in our pedagogy; its value for learning remains. This webinar will make the case that a well-designed combination of strategies can make AI misuse much less likely. We will explore three…

This “Homework help” button shows up in Chrome browser now when students are in Canvas. Clicking the button and selecting, say, a quiz question means the AI just answers the question for them. How “helpful!” See a video example below from Ken Fairbanks. Others have confirmed the Edge browser has something similar build in with Copilot AI that kicks on when a student is in Canvas — again, happy to snap a look at the current page (e.g., a quiz) and spit out the answer with some explanation. As Heather Brown from Tidewater Community College put it: Anyone else notice…

“A former university president is trying to reimagine college teaching with AI in mind, and this year he released an unusual video that provides a kind of artist’s sketch of what that could look like. For this episode, I talk through the video with that leader, Paul LeBlanc, and get some reaction to the model from longtime teaching expert Maha Bali, a professor of practice at the Center for Learning and Teaching at the American University in Cairo.” https://learningcurve.fm/episodes/what-if-college-teaching-was-redesigned-with-ai-in-mind On the Learning Curve podcast, September 2nd 2025 episode

Hi folks: I’m part of a group doing some preliminary research on what kind of AI literacy training is actually happening (or preparing to happen) across our higher education institutions. If you are willing, please do consider filling it out – there are 5-6 questions, and they are designed to retain as much privacy and anonymity as possible (we aren’t asking you to identify your institution or program here). This is not (yet) a formal research study – more a preliminary dipping of the toes in the water. It may well need to an IRB study, but we’re nowhere near…
