AI didn't break integrity, it exposed credentialism

AI didn't break integrity, it exposed credentialism

Phil Hill argues AI is exposing a preexisting higher-ed flaw: institutions built around credentials rather than demonstrated learning. In his view, better cheating detection won’t solve it; schools need clearer assessment of what students can actually do, drawing on competency-based education, authentic assessment, and frameworks like the University of Sydney’s two-stream model for AI-allowed and AI-excluded work.

  • 01Credentialism—treating the credential as the goal rather than evidence of learning—creates incentives for shortcuts that existed before AI; students pursue credentials as boxes to check rather than milestones in learning.
  • 02States like Michigan and Texas are redefining postsecondary credentials to include skill certificates alongside degrees, but broader definitions only matter if assessment measures actual learning, not just completion.
  • 03Hill’s three learning-centered models include competency-based education, authentic assessment, and the University of Sydney’s two-stream assessment framework.

CoSN tells school districts to plan for adoption before they buy new tech

CoSN tells school districts to plan for adoption before they buy new tech

CoSN's 2026 Blaschke Report and companion toolkit give K-12 districts a plan for technology change. Its main point is timing. Districts should define the problem, the success measure and staff workload before procurement, then run rollouts through change champions and a council that reviews significant technology changes.

  • 01CoSN’s toolkit pushes planning before procurement: define the problem, affected groups, timeline, and success measures, and account for competing initiatives and implementation fatigue.
  • 02The toolkit urges leaders to account for competing initiatives and implementation fatigue before procurement or a districtwide rollout.
  • 03After launch, districts should track adoption indicators, review feedback and help requests, keep refresher training going, and conduct a post-implementation review.
