@sava @econproph @BenPatrickWill @charleswlogan @jaross @hypervisible @neil_selwyn @blamb @weblearning @thomashillman I’m just fixated on the idea of further bad portmanteaus. What’s the closest we can get to an #edtech equivalent of #sharknado ?

@karengregory Jennie Lee kicked serious botty. Have you heard what her husband did too. Quite the couple.

@BenPatrickWill I dunno, I’m finding “These innovations have the potential to dramatically improve the quality of education, making it more immersive and efficient.” highly compelling.

What (if any) aspects do folks think are different/unique between #opensource projects coming out of #highered and projects originating in corporate, government, or traditional (user-based) communities? Specifically around (1) motivations for starting the projects, (2) success criteria, (3) sustainability, (4) funding, etc.

All/any thoughts/rants/ideas/critiques welcome.

Thanks!

Starting my mastodon posting journey with a 'book launch' thread instead of a bio - but the book basically IS what I've been up to for the past decade, so I hope it does double duty! https://routledge.pub/Digital-Futures-for-Learning . I’m told there’s a way to do threads in Mastodon that only pushes the first one into people’s timelines, so I’m giving that a go, too. Yes, it’s a day full of firsts. #DigitalFuturesForLearning

"This is the first time a ballot by any education union has passed the legal threshold of 50% turnout across the country - enabling it to call a national strike - rather than in individual universities, which would have allowed only staff in those institutions to strike."

WORKING WITH/IN THE TENSIONS: EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY AS FEMINIZED CRAFTWORK — Digital Culture & Education (ISSN: 1836-8301)
