Looking for literature on German in the Netherlands for a sociolinguistics class next semester!
I'm especially interested the German-speaking communities abroad (who is part of it, what languages do they speak) & language ideologies around German in the Dutch context. Thanks! ☺️
We have two tenure track #lecturer positions available at the #University of #Edinburgh, to support and develop #teaching and #research linked to the undergraduate Dual Award Honours programmes in Integrative Biomedical Sciences and Biomedical Informatics jointly developed in partnership with Zhejiang University, China.

Professors: you can use yt-dlp to download YouTube videos and add them to directly your presentations.
I've seen so many lectures get derailed by an embedded YouTube video breaking in PowerPoint. Or they minimize their presentation, open up a browser and navigate to YouTube (revealing embarrassing personal recommendations), then make a lecture hall full of people sit through an ad for some fly-by-night home security system or whatever.
I've made it through another term at the coalface, and I'm so, so tired. I have a heap of marking that I should have done but haven't, as always. I just think, fundamentally, in teaching - we need more prep time and less contact time. 10% is not enough. I feel that statement needs those obnoxious clapping hands, but I'll resist. What is it in other countries...? #Education#Teaching#Teachers#UKSchools#SecondarySchools#edutooter@edutooters
Is this constant sense of impending panic due to my inability to keep up with a normal workload, or the symptom of wearing WAY TO MANY FUCKING HATS?! Can I please just focus on ONE THING AT A TIME? At least on a time-frame of a minute?!?!?! #teaching#education
'Because of Them We Can (BOTWC) has unveiled its latest initiative: a free and accessible Learning Hub.... The Learning Hub currently features more than 50 pieces of content, coupled with curriculum and printable resources for users that cover the stories of trailblazers across industries, including civil rights, STEM, movements, the arts, and sports.'
I'm re-reading the @thecarpentries's Instructors Training material for reasons, and, OMG, it's so well written and useful 🤩
I definitely need to set aside a day or so each year to refresh it
Then we invite you to a #workshop based upon a cross-UK survey of undergraduate teaching in study design and data analysis for #Biology, #Biomedical Science, #Medicine and #Psychology. The workshop aims to critically examine teaching practice with an eye on improving research reproducibility as a part of science reform.
What can you gain from the workshop?
Cross-disciplinary perspective on the challenges faced and approaches to overcome them, and solidarity that comes from openly discussing challenges;
Resources for teaching/to influence teaching of stats in an attendees’ own institution;
Opportunity to benchmark your teaching programs versus those nationwide;
Opportunity to gain “outside the box” (cross-discipline) perspective on why and how to teach study design and analysis;
Knowledge of approaches and software people are using across UK to do/teach data analysis.
The workshop will occur 12 June, 2024, at the University of Manchester. We anticipate the fee will be less than £20 (and will most likely be free)
Below, we provide links to (1) view the workshop's itinerary and (2) to sign up to indicate your general interest (we are gauging interest at the moment for organisational purposes; registration will follow).
#AI#GenerativeAI#Teaching#Education: "Across Australia and internationally, Departments of Education, School Associations, and individual schools and teachers are asking the same question of generative AI: can it solve the teacher workload problem?
Over the last 18 months, I’ve seen literally hundreds of ideas discussing how AI can assist with everything from administrative tasks to classroom activities, communications with parents and community, and everything in between. Unfortunately, much of this advice has come from outside of education itself – tech developers and companies on the fringe of education whose ideas would seem attractive, but which for reasons I’ll discuss in this article might not always be a good idea.
Educators who are using generative AI technologies are producing fantastic materials and, in the spirit of teachers everywhere, sharing them widely on social media and through professional associations. But those teachers are still few and far between. Every school might have a handful of educators who have the time and the inclination to dive into generative AI, but the majority of K-12 teachers and university educators that I’ve worked with simply haven’t explored the generative AI enough to make big gains in handling their workload." https://leonfurze.com/2024/03/21/artificial-intelligence-and-teacher-workload-can-ai-actually-save-educators-time/
Subposting from another conversation a little... while teaching #Psychology in #ScienceFiction course the students and I once figured out that there are some easy ways to create a #dystopia . The ones I can remember right now:
A reasonable-sounding rule or law is administered in technically consistent but problematic way (often by a bad actor or someone/something with no consideration for kindness, harm, etc.).
Something that cannot or should not be experimentally manipulated... is.
#2 is my fave, because I can do a bad imitation of the Standard Deep Voiced Movie Announcer Guy and say things like
"In the future, where gender is assigned by a computer..."
or
"Imagine a world where sexual orientation, mathematical ability, and food preferences are decided by a government genetic lab..."
Computer people are fine human beings, but they do a lot of harm in the ways they “help” other people with their computer problems. Now that we’re trying to get everyone online, I thought it might be helpful to write down everything I’ve been taught about helping people use computers Written thirty years ago, and […] …
I'm looking at textbooks for fall courses. There are plenty out there, including a lot free online. Some are too heavy for the intended audience, some are too light, some don't organize or present things in the way I'd like, and plenty are just mediocre.
What makes a book stand out as something I'd ask students to buy? Lots of useful diagrams and lots of exercises.
