Learning technologists - what's the most annoying thing about working with academics/what don't we understand about your job that you wish we did? I am writing a blog for #ALTC25, be as honest as you like 😅

Discover how sector networks can supercharge your impact in digital education. Dive into Laura Milne’s inspiring #ALTC25 blog on the ALT community and the power of collaboration. Read the full blog here: buff.ly/X1kNYBi #altc

Such a fab day with @emilynordmann.bsky.social and her wonderful colleagues at Glasgow Uni. Talked about my favourite things - #scholarship and #disability #inclusion and had some fascinating conversations. Thanks everyone!! 🥰

⭐⭐⭐⭐ I read this and enjoyed it and then I read a review that said it's designed to be read twice (it's 47 pages) and it's true and was even better the second time. #BookSky

Agree. I dislike how people use an overflowing inbox as an excuse to avoid responding to reasonable work requests. A lot of work is still conducted over email.

“James, another signatory, said “the only thing that makes the information we learn from university any different from what we can gather online by ourselves is the in-person lectures performed by actual professors in our fields of study”.”

We don’t just scroll—we learn while scrolling. This “incidental learning” can shape what we know, believe, and even how we act. Sometimes useful, sometimes risky (hello, misinformation). What have you learned incidentally lately? #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky

So…there’s, like, a whole area of motivation research about how motivation doesn’t necessarily need to come from interest (e.g., productive, autonomous extrinsic motivation, how to productively regulate one’s motivation, etc.). It’s not a new thing, either. selfdeterminationtheory.org/theory/

For the umpteenth time and for the umpteenth reason, handwriting is better than typing. #EduSky www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I'm no Cassandra, but I've been exploring this alternative to GS if the Sentient AI Overlords pull the plug on GS. It's this and it is, currently, terrible: openalex.org

A new afex update is now on CRAN. it's mostly a maintenance update dealing with a bug in pbkrtest and preparing for the next major releases of ggplot2 and lme4.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ First Murakami novel, he is a bit weird isn't he. I thought it was excellent but also it took me longer to read than it should given the length so it gets docked a star for not compelling me to read. #BookSky

Amazing Tidy Tuesday for the venn diagram of data nerds and baggers - check out the hashtag #tidytuesday for more graphical munro magic. Cc @walkhighlands.co.uk

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ridiculous but fun. Should have been 100 pages shorter as usual. #BookSky

Early Bird registration for #ALTC25 closes tonight at 23:59. It’s your final opportunity to save on conference registration. ALTC25 will provide a space to reflect on how robust digital foundations can empower more expansive, inclusive, & imaginative possibilities for education buff.ly/k6kFrr3 #altc

I am very glad I discovered Diablo after I got promoted because I looked up and I had been playing for 4 hours this morning. She is a barbarian berersker because of course she is.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful. Written in 2019 but has an extra kick reading about automation in the age of AI. #BookSky

As a life-long obsessive Offspring fan, this was not news but god I living for all the Offspring lyric puns in this thread.

the enshittification of education is underway restofworld.org/2025/colombi...

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was a reread and I enjoyed it a lot more on the 2nd round. I think it's one of those that benefits from reading a review before you go into it. Also, completely batshit. lareviewofbooks.org/article/the-... #BookSky

my reactionary take is that while academic centralization generally sucks, what also sucks is grown-ass adults pretending they are above clicking a few buttons and feeling OK about asking their colleagues to do their busywork for them

one academic view i hold is that declared helplessness surrounding administrative tasks is both rude and non-credible

Glad to see @cos.io coming out with a statement about this after an influx of suspicious preprints hit PsyArXiv at the start of July. Many more have appeared since the first one I spotted. I Automated checks can only go so far & documenting all of them is a lot of work. #OpenScience

If a journal's InstToAuthors said it accepted "original" research, would you assume that (1) this meant a new study/experiment no one had conducted before? Or (2) 1 and replications because that replication has not been conducted before and is, therefore, original. 2/3

Science/research chums. I am working on a project about replication and am very keen on your feedback. 1/3

Hello I am a gay millenial.
