That sounds amazing. I teach Creative Coding and Info Visualization to media research students and would love to exchange notes.

Also for the folks saying they add super long alt text- please don’t do this. I use screen readers and it will make my reader ramble off whatever you put. My recommendation is to imagine how convenient it is to glance at an image when scrolling; alt text should feel the same (fun extras still ok)

Just remembered that Slack does not maintain posted content older than 3 months without a pro subscription. My university uses matrix.org for community communications or perhaps Discord for a more familiar environment.

A Slack group for instructors to exchange experiences and discuss current events could help with facilitating adoption.

I was wondering the same. It's about 20% in Germany. But, most universities here are state funded and receive direct costs for student enrollment numbers. The disparity is quite staggering though.

I'm sorry. 😢
This is bullshit.

10 stars means I get to watch a choral concert; 90 stars, a police drama.
There are many aspects of this that concerns me. I'm not sure where to begin...

Oh wow! And thanks. I have a separate ask if you're taking DMs. Otherwise, happy to wait in line with emails.

She shared her fond memories of being an undergraduate (before my time) and her insightful exchanges with the professors (definitely not me).
It made me proud to be doing the job we're doing. Be strong folks. Believe in what you are doing and the impact you're making. #educationmatters

FYI, your short videos are on the "reading list" for my class on Intelligent Media to communication students.

Sorry, but I cannot afford the privilege of being the non-German non-participating 💩stirrer in our kindergarten group in Chemnitz. My kid needs me to conform so that she has the currency to purchase acceptance in our community.

This was helpful. Thanks. Are you relying on any particular textbook or tutorials or did you create everything from scratch? I think that my mediacomms students could particularly see the point of text mining and sentiment analysis.

It's going to take 30 days before your content is actually erased and it won't actually be deleted if any linked accounts pings it. I'm still trying...

Tried that. Just when I thought I was out... Kindergarten groups pulled me back in.

That's very generous. I'll take a look at it and I'm sure I'll get some ideas. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks. You can DM or email me when you are comfortable sharing. No pressure.
GenAI has freed my students (those who care) to focus on being creative and to think critically, rather than search for missing ; . I also struggle with a "fair" grading rubric, since many still focus on the product.

Sure, the fundamental problem is that we need to make products out of our work to stay afloat and this type of important work, namely prereplication is thankless, invisible, and an immense time sink.
But I don't think that productifying a critical essay is the answer.

I would love to take a look at your course. My background is in psych/neuroscience and currently teach media communications students who do not expect to learn digital analysis.
I try in my creative coding and visualization modules but still looking for the magic sauce.

I'm discovering critical reflexion papers from Design Issues, which I assume represent the kind of prereplication papers that you're thinking of. However, expt psychologists 🤢 such papers; creating a formal protocol (like preregistration) misses the point & will only create false authority.

Also, it saddens me that all we will remember of Bach are Prelude, Air on G String Cello Suite No. 1... or worse(?), that Salieri is only remembered as Mozart's rival, which isn't even true.
It was bad enough when humans manipulated media to revise our memories. We don't deserve nice things.
