I wish they'd gone into some more detail on the headless piece and how to actually do that portion, though that's not much of a video thing.

It can be important when opening content up, especially at higher corporate levels, to take into account future uses of material that might not have been forseen when they were created. This may be especially important with the use of algorithms.

Having multiple channels to check and watch both during and after a conference can certainly split up the conversation stream, make things difficult to follow and can create context collapse. It can also be overwhelming to have multiple different channels that one feels like they need to watch to stay on top of what is going on.

It did help here to have the hashtag(s) for the conference piped into the Discord stream so that they could be watched in their own space without needing to leave the conference space created by the Discord server.

Great recap of an awesome time Isabelle! Thanks for all your hard work to make it so seamless!

Thanks for all your hard work Meredith! The conference went so well and in large part it's down to your work which hasn't gone unnoticed.

An interesting outline of how Colin Madland uses Notion for his Ph.D. research work.

He's got a good list of some pros and cons at the bottom. The export sounds a bit hairy on one front, but at least gives you some sort of back up in case the worst were to happen.

Not sure it's the thing for me and I'm happier with my workflow using Obsidian at the moment, though some of the ideas about process here could be helpful.

It looks like he's got some of the same issues in using Grav for his knowledge work as I do in WordPress, though the taxonomy and Webmention portions do tend to help me a bit.

Colin brought this to my attention at the OERxDomains21 conference.

7:09 - Discussion of a custom template for use cases; this sounds a bit like some customization similar to Open Scholar on Drupal

What has support for WPMU looked like within the pandemic?

Laurie Miles, UNC Asheville

• Uptick with faculty looking for tools to be online. They've gone from 6 or 7 in past years to 17
• Sharing resources with colleagues within the department or at other institutions

Shannon Hauser, University of Mary Washington

• They've seen a disconnect between their LMS (Canvas) and Domains with the LMS winning out

Colin Madland, Trinity Western University

• Didn't have a culture of online teaching
• Fine arts department started tinkering and others within the department are using that template. They spent some time and thought in the Summer and that made it easier for them in the fall.

Jim Groom talked about a "motherblog" (a planet made via RSS). How can we center the idea of a webmention hub to do this?

There was a lot of reversion to what was comfortable in the move to all online pedagogy. Professors were comfortable with lectures, so they stuck with that. There wasn't an emphasis on actual learning.

I should note Glenn Zucman's art work to Colin to pass along to their art department. There could be a community of use cases that might help each other experiment and expand on their ideas.

I'm thinking about Autumm's point about the ways companies find loopholes around institutional policies by going directly to teachers.

Evidence?

How is "power" being conceived here? Because for me, online proctoring reinforces asymetric power relationships in which students, particularly students from historically marginalized communities, are punished/policed more.

Framed as a new feature - something that you would want - they are doing you a favor. No mention of the potential harms - and how would you turn it off at an institutional level if you want to protect your students from this technology?

When might we want our seams to be showing? What's a learning experience like when it's been smoothed down and down?

What is the company's definition of "active" learning? How are they selling a specific vision of active learning?

What exactly does a partnership entail?

Hello! Welcome to an #AnnotateEdTech conversation. During our open and ongoing conversations, we’ll engage in close, critical reading of the claims made by educational technology companies about their technology, how it works, and to what ends. The annotations we leave behind can act as counternarratives and living resources for others to visit and build upon; to that end, you can use the affordances of social annotation, such as hyperlinking, to connect your observations with texts beyond each company’s website.

If you decide to annotate, you might consider addressing some of the following questions:

• What do you notice? What do you wonder?
• What narratives do the companies tell about education? About being a student? A teacher?
• What assumptions do the companies make about students and teachers? About learning and teaching?
• What claims do the companies make about their technology? What evidence exists to support or oppose those claims?

Thank you for joining the conversation!

What a fantastic set of accomplishments! Thank you for hosting such a spectacular space for all of us to hang out in.

Manifold – Building an Open Source Publishing Platform

Zach Davis and Matthew Gold

Re-watching after the conference.

Manifold

Use case of showing the process of making the book. The book as a start to finish project rather than just the end product.

They built the platform while eating their own cooking (or at least doing so with nearby communities).

Use for this as bookclubs. Embedable audio and video possibilities.

Use case where people have put journals on the platform and they've grown to add meta data and features to work for that.

They're allowing people to pull in social media pieces into the platform as well. Perhaps an opportunity to use Webmentions?

They support epub.

It can pull in Gutenberg texts.

Jim Groom talks about the idea of almost using Manifold as an LMS in and of itself. Centering the text as the thing around which we're gathering.

CUNY Editions of standard e-books with additional resources.Critical editions.

Using simple tools like Google Docs and then ingest them into Manifold using a YAML file.

TEI, LaTeX formats and strategies for pulling them in. (Are these actually supported? It wasn't clear.)

Reclaim Cloud has a container that will run Manifold.

Zach is a big believer in UX and design as the core of their product.

I love his image of a single open window on a major building with closed windows. And finished with more homey building with all open windows.

Something was. Then something changed. ---Erin Morgenstern in The Starless Sea p.363 (Apple books edition)

Ed's 5 Big NOTs of Teaching

• Knowledge is NOT simply content
• A textbook is NOT the only perspective
• A course is NOT an isolated context
• The teacher is NOT the sole authority
• Students are NOT empty vessels

Hegarty's 8 Attributes of Open Pedagogy (see reference below, which I'd like to read).

"OER requires an extra amount of effort and time." ---Ed Nagelhout

"It was you, me, and Mike Caulfield." - Jim Groom (Don't we all wish we could say this...)

I'd watched this live during the conference, but with morning duties, it was definitely worth watching again, especially for the student project diagrams at the end.

One of my favorite conference badges so far.

The conference schedule for the next two days.

Some of this looks like details that Aaron Parecki would appreciate.

A complicated and messy essay underlining the fact that people can figure out how to use technology in off-label ways to better humanity rather than sitting back on the intended uses of these tools.

I definitely want to reference this in my presentation part of my workshop for "A Twitter of Our Own" for OERxDomains21.

I wonder something related, but even broader, "How do we get everyone to work in public?"
