A thoughtful and thought-provoking piece on university libraries doi.org/10.1080/0307...

@nteunion.bsky.social I've been working with technology in HE for more than 40 years & a member of NTEU for 20. This new essay piece by Cory Doctorow is timely, readable and important. I'd recommend drawing it to the attention of every NTEU branch, today.

Anything by Roger Säljö is worth careful reading. New open access chapter. Highly recommended. link.springer.com/chapter/10.1...

Our review paper on teachers’ interdisciplinary expertise now available open access. #EpistemicFluency #Interdisciplinary #Teaching www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Here's another (open access) review article that uses the #ACAD distinction between epistemic, social and set design to help organise findings. @lucilacarvalho.bsky.social @pippayeoman.bsky.social link.springer.com/article/10.1...

A pleasing trend: reviews using the #ACAD framework. @pippayeoman.bsky.social @lucilacarvalho.bsky.social Christina Hümmer & Regina Egetenmeyer Design of Synchronous #Hybrid #LearningSpaces journals.uni-lj.si/AndragoskaSp...

Interesting new open access paper that takes seriously the complexities of observing and learning from classroom activities. #ACAD #TransdisciplinaryResearch #ActionableKnowledge @lucilacarvalho.bsky.social @pippayeoman.bsky.social @dewawardak.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A friend asked me about the harms of Whatsapp, leading me to this four -part reply! Starting with avoidance as a political act, then what’s wrong with Meta, on to why and how metadata really matters and finally some practical suggestions czernie.weebly.com/blog/avoidin...

"A whopping 82% of people who used the library’s physical space and 79% of people who physically attended programs reported more optimism regarding the future, compared to only 58% of digital-only users." Our physical space and resources matter *greatly!* bookriot.com/innovative-s...

The book "Learning Design Voices" offers a rich array of views, experiences and scholarly reflections from a wide diversity of learning designers across the world. A hidden gem. Plus it is freely available open access edtechbooks.org/ldvoices/

New research from Sweden shows that higher ed course design is at least as important as teaching/teacher for both student engagement & student perceptions of course quality. Implication: teaching evaluation forms should ask about course design at least as much as teaching. doi.org/10.1007/s107...

What's happening to academic journal publishing now AI's in the workflow? Year-end reflections and near-future speculations from the editors of Learning, Media & Technology - @discoursology.bsky.social @johnpp.bsky.social and me doi.org/10.1080/1743...

Summer reading!! New book arrived today - Creating Design Knowledge in Educational Innovation - a book edited by Inger-Marie Christensen, Lina Markauskaite, Nina Bonderup Dohn, @dwayneripley.bsky.social and Roland Hachmann

It’s a dark day for research in Aotearoa New Zealand and the ramifications for the country are huge. Minister Judith Collins has just announced our blue-skies funder will no longer fund humanities & social science research and that 50% of what is funded must have economic benefit.

This is so backward 1. Science is more than just commercialisable widgetry 2. Making progress on our biggest problems (climate change, infectious diseases, misinfo to name a few) will need more collaboration between STEM and hum/social sci not less.

"Scientists who take pride in your work on 'fundamental' or 'blue skies' topics? Watch out! You will be next if we let this stand"

Stimulating discussion at #ascilite2024 on AI and digital equity in teaching and learning with‬ @cherylbrown.bsky.social @lucilacarvalho.bsky.social, @vnarayan.bsky.social & Kathryn MacCallum. Our slides and other resources at bit.ly/AI_and_inequ...

Thanks to those at #ascilite2024 for joining our @czernie.bsky.social @lucilacarvalho.bsky.social @vnarayan.bsky.social and Kathryn MacCallum’s panel on AI and Digital Equity. Here is a link to our padlet with resources and links to the slides. canterbury.padlet.org/kathryn_macc...

@czernie.bsky.social is 100% right. You want to make a difference? Get involved in your uni's procurement process of ed tech softwares (including GenAI). Push back - ask thorny questions. Don't let them cut out the academic voice, especially the voice fighting for greater equity. #ascilite2024

Lovely lunch, now back into it. Student-elicited video feedback encounters Presented by Jimena De Mello Heredia Big venue for a first time presenter. Seems undaunted though. #ASCILITE2024

Lovely coming across the Tasman to hear my #Aotearoa colleagues talking about integrating culturally responsive pedagogy in their learning design processes @lucilacarvalho.bsky.social

Hello Australia! Just arrived in Melbourne for #ascilite. Looking forward to catching up with colleagues and meeting new ones!

Tomorrow!

Yesterday I shared a quote from Raewyn Connell's book "The good university". It's an important book, deserves to be read widely and is founded on a key point about universities being realised by the *work* we do. publishing.monash.edu/product/the-...
