Best Bible Note-Taking System: Jonathan Edwards's Miscellanies

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqq-4-LiFVs

Overview of Jonathan Edwards Miscellanies system along with a a few wide-margin bibles. Everhard apparently hasn't heard of the commonplace concept, though I do notice that someone mentions the zettelkasten system in the comments.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6EAu3nB1vk

Most of this is material I've seen or heard in other forms in the past. It's relatively well reviewed and summarized here though, but it's incredibly dense to try to pull out, unpack and actually use if one were coming to it as a something new.

3 Productivity hacks

• Zen Meditation (Zen Mind, Beginners Mind by Shunryū Suzuki
• Research Process -- Annotations and notes, notecards
• Rigorous exercise routine -- plateau effect

The Zen meditation hack sounds much in the line of advice to often get away from what you're studing/researching and to let the ideas stew for a bit before coming back to them. It's the same principle as going for walks frequently heard from folks or being a flâneur. (cross reference Nassim Nicholas Taleb et al.) The other version of this that's similar are the diffuse modes of learning (compared with focused modes) described in learning theory. (Examples in work of Barbara Oakley and Terry Sejnowski in https://www.coursera.org/learn/learning-how-to-learn)

I've generally come to the idea that genius doesn't exist myself. Most of it distills down to use of tools like commonplace books.

Perhaps worth looking into some of the following to see what, if anything, is different than prior version of the commonplace book tradition:

Extracting .pdf annotations using [[Zotfile]]

Go to Settings > Advanced > Config Editor and then filtering by pdfExtraction.

The end section on templates was rushed and make take some more time to properly configure Zotfile and the notes exports to get what I want.

Not quite my cup of tea from a research perspective.

A somewhat useful overview, but skips some of the detailed specifics which we'll need to pull up elsewhere.

An interesting method, but not my favorite flavor.

iirc, snarfed said this was one of his favorite talks

Monday on the NewsHour, we look at the violence in the Middle East as rockets continue to fly into Israel, and Israelis hammer Gaza with heavy airstrikes. Then, we talk to the president of Afghanistan, Ashraf Ghani, as U.S. troops leave his country and violence escalates. And, we explore why Americans are divided on whether or not to follow new CDC guidance relaxing mask and distancing rules.

Exact memorization of individual lines like this is difficult at best, even with these methods.

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.

Here's a link to Alan Levine's work here: https://cogdogblog.com/category/twu-portfolios/

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.

Darius Kazemi randomly tweets out pages from books in the Internet Archive as a means of creating discovery and serendipity.

Library Futures, Jennie Rose Halperin @Library_futures @little_wow

Idea of artificial scarcity being imposed on digital objects is a damaging thing for society.

Ideas to explore:

Libraries as a free resource could be reframed as a human right within a community.

Librarians as local community tummelers around information.

You're right. I had to do a double take to go back. What a fascinating life Abel Meeropol must have had.

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.

This sentence caught my eye because it seems like an obvious solution to reduce the amount of e-waste and materials used to create new products. It is upsetting to see that many people resort to being wasteful and using up the world's resources at such a quick rate before thinking about reusing and remodeling what we have already created.
