A nation-wide study on computer-based writing instruction in Australian classrooms, led by researchers from Edith Cowan University (ECU) in collaboration with colleagues from the Writing for All research group, has shined a spotlight on how little time and attention primary schools are giving to teaching students how to write using a computer.

A programme of smell screening, awareness campaigns and health policies could improve the mental and physical health of millions – according to research led by the University of East Anglia.

Smell dysfunction is present in more than 130 neurological, somatic and hereditary disorders, with some evidence suggesting a causal role.

But a new paper published today reveals how smell is overlooked as a “Cinderella sense” in public health.

And researchers are calling for a worldwide campaign to put smell health on the map - with screening, education and awareness at its core.

A new national report has shown for the first time how generative AI (GenAI) is already being used by some universities to assess the quality of their research – and it could be scaled up to help all higher education institutions (HEIs) save huge amounts of time and money.
