Synthesis of LLMs for Education Evidence

Building on the previously shared public Zotero group, Google archive version, conduct a literature review & synthesis of LLMs in Education with two goals: a) identify methods used to evaluate validity, reliability and fairness and b) set benchmarks and threshold levels.

We have developed an initial project scope, and several subcommittee members (Kehinde James, Daniel Olutola, Olushola Soyoye, and John Whitmer) have begun working on it, building on discussions at NCME.

Our next meeting is on 6/24 @ 1pm PT; please contact Kehinde if you would like to join or add this link.
