@JourneysInFilm relationships (good faith; intimacy) are just as important in #highered classrooms, virtual or physical. But I disagree with the students quoted here: “None of them said ‘get rid of AI.’ They said educators should use it as a tool, for things like help with grading, providing extra support or personalizing learning.” Grading—specific, supportive feedback; developmental building, conversation—*is* relationships. And teaching is active, fluid, adaptable thought.

I don't yet know how this is fundamentally different from an R01, R21, etc.

Contents of my bag after a heavy semester. This is archaeology going on, here.

so… shouldn’t Tibbets be charged with something? https://archive.ph/sbuXj #ontario #highered

The same hacker group was able to break back into #Canvas / #Instructure a second time last night, and display a ransom note to all schools, explaining Instructure isn't negotiating but they still have time to negotiate and pay a ransom for THEIR school's data.

The timing on this couldn't be worse for higher education either. This is finals week for a number of universities in this region, graduations are happening at a number of schools, final grades are coming due. Etc, etc.

This shit is fascinating, and Instructure is going to have to perform one hell of a mea culpa after all of this.

Again relieved I stopped being a Canvas admin four years ago. #HigherEducation #HigherEd

It’s time Canada starts building its own sovereign tech software. From operating systems to text editors. Education CMS’s to mobile apps.

Trump and AI needs to mark the end of American domination of all things computer software.

That needs to start at colleges and universities.
