Another migration in our midst
16-11-2024, 10:30 educationTechnology, mastodon, migration, social networks, SocialMedia, twitterWith the US elections now settled, and a second Trump term being a reality, I guess many (most?) of the remaining hold outs on Twitter are finally migrating. I decided to keep my personal account, for now, and just promote pro-union, pro-education, pro-left, and anti-war messages, while posting my regular content on Threads, Bluesky, and Mastodon. I am also in the process of shutting down

Ponderings on Connectivity

In this post, I turn my attention to social media! The topic that connects us, and divides us, and has gotten the "it's complicated"

Sticking with the fail whale... for now
31-10-2022, 16:24 connected, migration, network, social networks, SocialMedia, twitter A lot of digital ink has been used up in the past few days with Elon's purchase of the big blue bird, both in blogs and Twitter itself, and news outlets (not that I think of it) To be fair, it is a little concerning when your social network changes hands, but then again other things are concerning in the land of social media (where "you're the product"), like most social media ownership,

Who moved my cheese?
29-12-2021, 15:34 academia, INSDSG684, instructionalDesign, onlineLearning, remoteLearning, twitterI was reading Twitter the other daaayyy (just picture someone from Letterkenny saying thisđ) and I came upon yet another discussion that basically boiled down to online (or remote) versus face-to-face. I made the mistake of reading the repliesđ. On the one hand, I was hoping that there would be a more nuanced discussion (and to be fair, I did get those types of replies from people

Wicked Smaht: ID PD as a branching path and not a ladder

Missing...but not missing OLC this year

For as long as I can remember (well...for the last 10 years anyway) I've been able to participate in at least 2 our of 3 virtual conferences that the OLC (formerly Sloan-C) put on. I've never been able to attend in person (for a variety of reasons), but I've always liked to have the ability to participate, even remotely. I am often on twitter during the live sessions tweeting away

The Ethics of open online research

In my continuous quest to go to Pocket-Zero (may be a losing battle since I keep adding interesting stuff to read), I came across a post from a friend and colleague, Rebecca, who was discussing and brainstorming a bit about the ethics of research in twitter communities. As a quick synopsis, of the hot button issue (at least from what I interpreted), was that in one instance (mature) researchers

How to measure connected success (for academics)
11-02-2015, 04:30 academia, academic, career, connected, network, online, PhD, reputation, twitter
A week or so ago I had read Terry Anderson's blog post asking the question on whether it is worth it for aspiring academics to blog (and tweet, and generally be visible on the interwebs). It's an interesting post and I encourage everyone to read it and post their opinions on twitter, here, on Terry's post. I'd love to know what other newer academics think about this.
I am new, but not new, to academia.

2014 is upon us! We are now a
couple of years from the big MOOC âexplosionâ in the news, and since weâve gone

Jeeves will point you to the right discussion forum
A couple of years ago when I was putting pen to paper and I was working on my Academic Check-ins paper I was doing some more research into recommender systems, you know the systems like the ones that they have on Amazon.com and Netflix whereby if you rate a certain product in a certain way, or if you view certain products, more recommendations
