Assessment is usually one of three kinds: of, for and as learning. Sometimes assessment can also be a combination of more than one of these types.

If we take the same critical lens to in-person learning as we once did to online, rationalising our need for the former, how much better could we make our teaching?

Yuga Labs, the creator of the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) NFT, has announced it is raising $450 million at a $4 billion valuation. The NFT company said the funds would be used to scale its team and operations, which it confirmed includes a new metaverse project called Otherside.
The metaverse project, Otherside, will integrate avatars from a number of NFT projects, including BAYC. Earlier this week, Yuga Labs tweeted a teaser that a metaverse project powered by its new ape-themed crypto coin, Ape Coin was in the works.
Among the investors are Andreessen Horowitz along with gaming studio Animoca Brands and cryptofirms FTX which are both already associated with YugaLabs.
Google, Samsung, Adidas as well as celebrities such as Colin Kaepernick, Shaquille O' Neal, Steve Aoki, and Timbaland among others also invested in the funding round.

Stool tests might provide a useful way to help doctors spot early pancreatic cancer, say researchers.
They have been trialling the concept in a study with 136 volunteers.
The findings, described in the journal Gut, suggest detectable changes involving gut bugs could provide a warning sign that a tumour is present.
Pancreatic cancer often doesn't cause symptoms in the early stages. That means it is usually more advanced and harder to treat when it is found.
As the cancer grows it may cause vague symptoms, such as indigestion, changes to bowel habit and some tummy or back pain. Some people see their GP several times before being diagnosed.

The NATO Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has completed its test run of secure communication flows that could withstand attackers using quantum computing.
Konrad Wrona, principal scientist at the NCSC, told ZDNet that it is becoming increasingly important to create protection schemes against current and future threats.
"Securing NATO's communications for the quantum era is paramount to our ability to operate effectively without fear of interception," Wrona said.
"The trial started in March 2021. The trial was completed in early 2022. Quantum computing is becoming more and more affordable, scalable and practical. The threat of 'harvest now, decrypt later' is one all organizations, including NATO, are preparing to respond to.

A study carried out by Compare The Market has revealed that Luxembourg is the third least affordable country to buy a property in the world.
The study analysed average property prices per square metre as well as the average disposable household income in 38 countries to calculate the cost per square metre as a percentage of annual income.
The least affordable country for property was South Korea. With the highest price per square metre (€11,396.85) and an average household disposable income of €19,199.27, its affordability ratio came to around 59.4%.
Israel was the second least affordable country. Although it had a lower property price of €6,667.35 per square metre, Israel had an average disposable income of €21,814.81, bringing the affordability ratio to around 30.6%.
The third least affordable country according to Compare The Market was Luxembourg, with an affordability ratio of 28.9%. The average disposable income in Luxembourg was fairly high compared to other countries at an average of €34,450.25, whilst the property price averaged around €9,962.76 per square metre.

This chapter argues that establishing a “culture of academic integrity,” in the era of digitally-situated plagiarism like contract cheating, begins with an institutional approach to student data and student work that is rooted in ethics. If “students cheat when they feel cheated” (Christensen Hughes, 2017, p. 57), then the ethical failures inherent in a system-wide move toward for-profit homework systems and plagiarism checkers sets a dangerous model for students to follow. Paper presented at the University of Calgary, Calgary http://hdl.handle.net/1880/110083), then the ethical failures inherent in a system-wide move toward for-profit homework systems and plagiarism checkers sets a dangerous model for students to follow. We are responsible for modelling for our students what it looks like to be a contributing member of an academic community, and we do so by taking seriously our students, their data, and their work, and not only when it comes time to run it through a plagiarism detector or check their IDs against a proctoring software. This chapter argues that a more responsible relationship to student data, and a less cozy relationship with for-profit educational technologies, is required if our institutions are serious about fostering a culture of academic integrity.

Unlike some of my peers, I'm not an opponent of the multiple-choice quiz. It's a convenient and efficient means of assessing e-learners, if it's done well. The problem, unfortunately, is that it's often done poorly. So poorly, in fact, it's embarrassing.

The UK tax department has seized three non-fungible tokens (NFTs) as part of an investigation into a suspected VAT fraud scheme involving 250 fake companies.
HM Revenue and Customs said on Monday it had seized the NFTs and arrested three people on suspicion of attempting to defraud it out of £1.4m. It is the first time a UK law enforcement agency has seized an NFT.
