The saddest thing is that this project has been once of the most demoralizing I've ever taken on. Day to day we see so many students being failed by teachers and school leadership who care more about "adapting to AI" than real student outcomes today.
In practice, we've found teachers don't generally want to have the difficult conversations with students when the hard evidence of cheating is given to them.
And generally school/university/college leadership have no real tactics to implement their "AI strategy" other than train their own chat bots (wtf) and "adapting assessment to use AI".
Unfortunately, a simple non AI fix to the problem is definitely not as good for their careers.
IMHO without a change, we're creating a pretty bleak future for students of the next few years.
I think I would give up most other possessions before it. It is probably only beaten out by a few very sentimental items (like my wedding rings), Kindle Voyager (by far the best eReader Amazon ever made IMHO) and a couple of my newer Apple devices (Apple Pencil 2 and AirPods with iPhone are just magic).
Individualized climate control in bed is a luxury that has put a grateful smile on me for almost every day over the last 6 years.
