      Books and lectures are transmissionism (I'd say for historical reasons mostly). Engagement (different forms) is needed, but what form of medium would drive such engagement and do it flexibly is the hard question. (Seeing lecture as warm-up to engagement is a rationalisation afterwards, textbooks already do more but lack emotional and social scaffolding.) This is the research question behind his [[Timeful Texts 20201124070427]]. There's also a connection to my [[Boeken schrijven is flauwekul 20210930172532]] because the distrust in author's motives is that they don't even aim for transmissionism. Just the pretension of it.

      Edit #2024/02/28 : Saw [[Chris Aldrich]] mention elsewhere that lectures started out as oral comments on a source text, sharing interpretation and sensemaking as it were. The word deriving from L lectio, reading.

    1. the reading-out of commentaries (a format with a now-familiar name: the lecture)

      Link between the commentaries of the early middle ages and modern lectures

    1. I came here to get the handout for Markov chains mentions in Lecture 31: Markov chains | Statistics 110. Lectures give a great intuition behind the equations, their motivation, and their limitations.

    1. If you now think: “That’s ridiculous. Who would want to read andpretend to learn just for the illusion of learning and understanding?”please look up the statistics: The majority of students chooses everyday not to test themselves in any way. Instead, they apply the verymethod research has shown again (Karpicke, Butler, and Roediger2009) and again (Brown 2014, ch. 1) to be almost completelyuseless: rereading and underlining sentences for later rereading.And most of them choose that method, even if they are taught thatthey don’t work.

      Even when taught that some methods of learning don't work, students will still actively use and focus on them.


      Are those using social annotation purposely helping students to steer clear of these methods? is there evidence that the social part of some of these related annotation or conversational practices with both the text and one's colleagues helpful? Do they need to be taken out of the text and done in a more explicit manner in a lecture/discussion section or in a book club like setting similar to that of Dan Allossso's or even within a shared space like the Obsidian book club to have more value?

    1. I thought my posts would mainly be a useful resource for my students. Things I did not have time to say or elaborate on in lectures

      Blog posts as an addendum to your lectures.

    1. we assert a hierarchy based on an arbitrary judgment of what is “real” or “good” or “right” code

      Comme on l'a déjà fait par le passé (et même encore aujourd'hui) en littérature, finalement. C'est peut-être aussi par là que les critical code studies rejoignent les études littéraires. En laissant de côté une évaluation subjective de la qualité du code, on peut s'intéresser plus spécifiquement à son sens, à son imbrication dans un contexte, à son statut dans un espace culturel, etc.

    2. Code was literally becoming the means of debate, used as evidence in arguments for and against the scientific valid-ity of climate change.

      Intéressant parallèle à faire entre ce traitement du code et celui des publications scientifiques en médecine... Le manque d'informations dont dispose le public pour comprendre et contextualiser les études scientifiques de beaucoup de domaines peut ici se comparer à celui qui est fait de ce code, brandi comme argument mais fallacieux parce que mal interprété, mal contextualisé, etc.

    1. a course of lectures upon natural philosophy

      Far more than printed books, attendance at lectures on natural philosophy instructed thousands of eighteenth-century students of the sciences. Mary Shelley indirectly refers the reader to the vastly popular London lectures on the sciences to which audiences had been flocking since Humphry Davy's inaugural lecture in 1802. Anne Mellor has persuasively argued that Davy was a partial model for the character of Victor in this novel. [Anne Mellor, Mary Shelley: Her Life, Her Fiction, Her Monsters (Routledge, 1989) pp. 91-103)]

    1. This page is associated with Thiagi's interactive lectures, which are characterized in a book that is available via this site. This particular page involves links to types of interaction, such as games, puzzles, and so forth. It would be better to read or review the book, but since that option is not available, I will provide a link here. rating 2/5

    1. Lectures - For the most part, my lectures will center on materials to explain, support and offer inspiration for the upcoming assignments. I have included some examples of what they would look like, but they would vary by week according to what was covered previously, where we are in the readings, how well students are grasping the concepts we discuss, and even how many students are in the class.

    1. On this model, students are responsible for their own education, often forming communities or societies to collaborate. Professors typically worked one-on-one with students, but from time to time would be enlisted to offer a series - or 'course' - of lectures on a given topic. The lectures could be (and often were) public, and were frequently attended by other professors in the same field.

      Reminds me of @KevinCarey1 describe the original university of Bologna, in his End of College. Don’t have the quote handy (one of many cases where #OpenAccess would allow for more thoughtful discussion), but the gist of that paragraph sounds similar to what @Downes is describing here

    1. I want to get less wrong

      Compare with the phenomenon of (not) interrupting the university lecturer when one does not understand the lecture.
