The book also has an "end user license agreement" (because you don't read ebooks, you use them). The license includes a portion saying

> You may not upload, copy, modify, print, transmit, transfer, sublicense, sell, make or distribute copies of the Licensed Material in whole or in part.

Is it a gatekeeping process to ensure I know enough keywords to demonstrate that I've read pedagogical literature?

It asks me to explain what my teaching philosophy is. I find this a weird exercise: in no other area of life am I expected to have a philosophical view of something. I read some pedagogical material and it's not very philosophical.

I have to write a teaching portfolio and ugh.

I'm thinking of submitting a workshop about the Fediverse to the AoIR 2020 conference. Some background, some talk about decentralisation online, a short how-to and sharing of resources.

Anyone know if they would they be interested in something like that?
