Morning all!
The TEL department here in Cork is holding a seminar called 'Digital Connectedness and Regional Growth' on 25th of May at 2pm (GMT), which you can attend in-person or online.

Specifically, @DonnaLanclos and I ranted about librarians selling their ethics for a mess of pottage known as the "Library Value Agenda."
Been waiting to cut loose about that for four years or so.
Very much excited to be talking to Wonk HE about all things tech on their Higher Education Podcast this week @dkernohan https://wonkhe.com/podcast/
It's just —
What I want to see is the end of folks having one and only one place to socialize online. And I don't mean the "country AND western" options of Twitter / FB / IG.
The Fediverse gives us hole-in-the-wall coffee shops, dusty bookstores, a friendly neighbor's lawn, etc
Enjoying #fci23 so far @davecormier
And of course a shout out for JIm Groom (I can't find him here!!!) and Reclaim Hosting https://reclaimhosting.com/
Superb post from the Kaiju that is @scalzi (and thankful to find him here!!!) - if nothing else it is a reminder that a "Domain of one's Own" is a key digital capability/literacy

PLEASE SHARE! I am soliciting stories about working in #HigherEd under austerity. Read more and contribute: https://t.co/TSwkHuCD0f
@bonstewart @Lawrie @davecormier do you think it's possible to squat there without 'being the product'?
Ok.. my first substantive post is to point to a new paper with Sven Schaepkens on #OnlineProctoring (in #MedEd).
A Matter of Trust: Online Proctored Exams and the Integration of Technologies of Assessment in Medical Education

Let's see if anyone notices 🙂
Comments welcome.
#introduction "To help some of the newcomers make connections: name 5-7 things that interest you but aren't in your profile, as tags so they are searchable. Then boost this post or repeat its instructions so others know to do the same."
The trouble is most of my interests aren't easily hashtagged, or they're pretty unique around these parts. But I'll try anyway:
#chemistry
#physics
#pedagogy
#quizbowl
#appalachians
#christianity
One of the strengths of Twitter for me was TweetChats - do we think that #LTHEChat for example will happen here?
Working in Higher Education, technology, Pedagogy.
