Step-by-Step: Setting Up GitHub Student and GitHub Copilot as an Authenticated Student Developer
To become an authenticated GitHub Student Developer, follow these steps: create a GitHub account, verify student status through a school email or contact GitHub support, sign up for the student developer pack, connect to Copilot and activate the GitHub Student Developer Pack benefits. The GitHub Student Developer Pack offers 100s of free software offers and other benefits such as Azure credit, Codespaces, a student gallery, campus experts program, and a learning lab. Copilot provides autocomplete-style suggestions from AI as you code. Visual Studio Marketplace also offers GitHub Copilot Labs, a companion extension with experimental features, and GitHub Copilot for autocomplete-style suggestions.

Model Mondays S2E8: On-Device & Local AI Welcome to Episode 8! This week, we explored how AI is moving from the cloud to your own device, making it faster, more private, and more accessible. We also saw a real-world customer story from Xander Glasses, showing how AI can help people with hearing loss. RFD Observability tools in Azure AI Foundry: Real-time model telemetry, auto evals, quick evals, Python grader. GitHub Copilot Pro with Spark: AI pair programmer for code explanation and workflow suggestions. Synthetic Data for Vision Models: Training accurate models with procedurally generated data. Agent-Friendly Websites: Making sites accessible to AI agents via APIs, semantic markup, and OpenAPI specs. MCP (Model Context Protocol): Standardizing agent memory and context for scalable AI.Announcing GitHub Universe Cloud Skills Challenge!

In this post, we discuss how prompts and GPT could play a role in education coupled with metacognition and the inverse bloom’s taxonomy. The views are based on my teaching at the University of Oxford but are my individual / personal perspective. Based on this approach, we could potentially achieve goals of personalization and scale in learning and assessment. More interestingly, they take us back to a much older, reflective style of teaching and learning characterised by the Oxford tutorial. Comments welcome - especially from other educators. I am also developing this idea at our start-up Salooki. Other major universities such as Harvard University are also adopting GPT/LLMs in the classroom - such Harvard for their flagship coding course - Computer Science 50: Introduction to Computer Science. I am keen to discuss how other educators are adopting Generative AI in higher education.
