Context for my listening/reading... Been working through some material from the Horizon Reports, as part of our prospective work.

if advanced users get that, will beginners – enough to support growth of the rebooted company?
ROLI has filed for administration and will reboot as beginner-focused Luminary as the company struggles with losses. A portion of employees remain, and even the Seaboard is apparently coming back in stock – but this could be a cautionary tale for “hypergrowth” in music making. The UK-based startup had always been something of a puzzle to the instruments industry. On one hand, they had innovative products – those famous squishy keyboards – plus loads of celebrity endorsements (like Pharell and Grimes). They also have been able to hire an incredible amount of talent, including acquisitions of the FXpansion software development team and (at one point) the widely used JUCE framework and its star developer. But on the other hand, it was clear ROLI was burning investment money in pursuit of a growth strategy that seemed potentially unrealistic to an outside observer. And at the moment, I’m not really going out on a limb saying that, because I can just quote CEO Roland Lamb talking to Business Insider about the decision to file for administration: “Ultimately, what happened was the pro-focused products we initially developed, although successful within their marketplace, the marketplace wasn’t big enough given our venture trajectory,” Lamb told Insider on Wednesday. “We had our eyes set on hypergrowth, and that proved to be difficult.” “Hypergrowth” is an interesting term, as most enduring names in the music tech business in fact have pursued very conservative, gradual growth. Household names like Ableton or Roland or Avid have been almost like blue-chips for musicians. And the losses ROLI accrued were real – the most recent filing is back to 2019, with pretax losses of £34.1 million on revenues of £11.4 million. Lamb describes the process of the reboot as involving “dark nights of the soul.” So let’s get to what this means. Let me also say – I sincerely hope former ROLI employees are all landing on their feet, whether at Luminary or (for most, realistically) post-ROLI. The tech itself remains innovative, expressive, and presented in an appealing and futuristic product.
The promise.

What was ROLI Ltd.?ROLI Ltd. was known as a leading innovator in electronic musical instruments for professionals such as the Seaboard, Seaboard RISE, and BLOCKS — and a pioneer of MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE). As part of the 2021 restructure, Luminary will continue to manufacture ROLI’s professional and hobbyist instruments, with a relaunch of the iconic Seaboard, slated for 2022.
Sad day for MPE advocates. Sure, we knew this was coming. And we have plenty of support from other vendors. Yet those efforts by then-ROLI are erased by this #pianocentric pivot.

usability has multiple components: Learnability — how easily a beginner can use the system, and how easily they can become an expert. Efficiency — how quickly people can achieve what they want. Memorability — how easily people can remember how to use the system or feature, after not using it for a while. Safety — how rarely people experience errors, and how easy it is to fix any errors. Satisfaction — how pleased people are with the overall experience.
“The model should talk about customer service, centering basic needs, and the basic needs help students meet their academic needs,”
There’s a stigma to applying for help, she says, and many students who need aid feel there are others who could more urgently use the assistance.
“They have to decide whether to eat or pay for the book, whether to pay rent or pay for the book. It’s a one-time cost, but it has multiple implications of students sacrificing utilities, for example, and then putting their housing at risk.”

two notes that are five pitches away from each other, one, two, three, four, five
Out of context, this sounds like an OBOE (off by one error). You typically wouldn’t count the origin: the two notes are four (semitones) away from one another. That becomes quite useful when you think about all of this as sets and, perhaps, start doing some computation with these. In context, it might simplify things for the moment. It’s just a bit strange to keep all of these in mind. The major third (so, the third note in the scale) is “five pitches” away from the root. The perfect fourth would be “six pitches” away. The perfect fifth “eight pitches away”. Major sixth “10 pitches away”. And the major seventh “12 pitches away”. Which means the octave is “13 pitches away”. Could lead to interesting confusion.
Our ears have been conditioned to only accept this chromatic stepping between pitches.
This part is defensible. Without getting into the details, it addresses an actual phenomenon (with the assumption that listeners are part of the “our” in this statement).
happy vibe. Happy tonality.
Soooo much has been said about the problems with happy/sad referring to major/minor. Bright/dark? Not quite as problematic. In this case, bright=happy. Darker is “almost sadder”. There are ways to make this all more obvious.
Tonality refers to how our harmony affects our song's mood and vibe.
Hmm? Again, it makes some sense in context. Yet it could lead to quite a bit of confusion. I honestly thought it was going to be about actual tonality. Yet it’s about mode, calling it tonality. Disconnecting mode and mood. It’s nice to use simple language. This isn’t that. It’s using jargon and shifting it. The technical term for that might be… obfuscation. Strange
these go up chromatic order. Which basically means, no pitches exist between these.
Hmm… Strongly stated, with a bit of backtracking later on. Without getting into microtonality (or even just intonation), it’d be quite useful to start with that conditioning mentioned later.
Chords, what are they? Simply put, they're two or more different pitches played at the same time.
That’s an unusual way to put it. While it makes sense in context, it can create some confusion.
We can use the itertools.combinations function to find all possible subsets of a chord for a given cardinality.
Ha! Found a Ruby method to do the same thing in Sonic Pi. https://in-thread.sonic-pi.net/t/exploring-modes-of-pitch-class-sets-using-chord-invert/5874/10?u=enkerli

the Open Education community
Missing theme: scope/reach. We might say/assume/wish the OE community to be one thing. Certainly, the movement/phenomenon is global and can have a glocal impact. Some clarifications would be useful as to, say, linguistic diversity or relationships between this group and other parts of the movement.
a sustainable, innovative, and empowered Open Education community
Using the logic of "SMART objectives", it could be interesting to link to something about "what the OE community might feel like if it's empowered, innovative, and sustainable".
between the community and the conference organizers
As conference organizers are (allegedly) part of the community, it might make sense to phrase it as "between conference organizers and the rest of the community". Or maybe something with even less differentiation. In some ways, "dialogue" implies a form of othering. Sure, it's a two-way path. And this can be an improvement over the typical "we hear you". Still, the sentence as a whole sounds like a comment about relationships between a board and a community it's meant to serve.
Open Education professionals
Interesting that it'd be specifically about OE pros. (Other statements are more general.) Not saying it's wrong. It might be accurate that enabling learners, admins, and OE beginners to share experiences isn't part of the diligent work. It's simply surprising in context.
shared values.
These values are indeed shared by an OE community. To the extent that readers can "hear the 'we'" in these statements. For instance, acknowledging power dynamics works really well among likeminded people... and may still sustain those same dynamics.
accessible
There's an opportunity for clarification... and edification. Maybe using a slightly different wording to convey the idea that it's a broad value, not a narrow one?
For community members with adequate knowledge of what is done, it's obvious that this value of accessibility has a broad range. However, the term has taken more specific meanings in the broad world of education. Some people think of it as "take a class despite class membership".
Open Education
As others have said, defining OE is essential for clarity. A brief definition with a link to a broader "position statement" would help.
change, and transformation
Doesn't transformation imply change? If so, reducing that phrase to two items might help in concision.

Germany, Austria, and Switzerland have long seen vocational education as a pathway to the middle class, and an effective system to provide students with the skills they’ll need to further their career
Rather important point to make, especially from a US perspective. Having Swiss friends going to vocational training (in an "apprenticeship" model) has taught me quite a bit about the difference it can make. That system is far from perfect. Friends and relatives have complained that the choice of a path was too early (12yo, if memory serves). And there have been times when Swiss unemployment levels have gone up quickly. Still, it's a useful reminder that a hyperindustrialized economy can give vocational training its due. There's also a connection to craftsmanship. Germany is really wellknown for it and I've heard FabLab experts associate this with hisorical events such as WWII. Yet it doesn't sound like Switzerland's neutral status has differentiated it from Germany in this respect since some Swiss industries have very similar features.
A recent Cengage survey (publication forthcoming)
Michael Hansen is the Chief Executive Officer of Cengage, an education technology company serving millions of learners worldwide.
The fact that students think their own degrees are still valuable but believe higher education is generally "not worth the cost" suggests a pricing problem -- that even if the degrees are valuable, students think they're paying too much for it.
when presented with a more general statement -- "higher education is not worth the cost to students anymore" -- nearly two-thirds agreed, up from just under half in the first such survey last August.
Perhaps the most distressing (or at least confounding) data of all for college officials, though, were in students' responses about the value of college.
College Students Still Prefer Print Textbooks

EnglishArabic I live أسكُن
During a webinar on Dynamic Language Teaching through Pressbooks, Arabic teachers pointed out some issues with the alignment of RTL content. Wonder if it's a broad PB issue, if it's a specific module used (say, Tablepress?), or if it's a textbook design issue. H5P activities from another book were deemed better.
The pandemic has called into question many of higher education’s core pillars, such as college athletics, the residential campus model, the role of online education and sage-on-the-stage pedagogy.
The first two really sound US-centric while the other two are common and longstanding. College athletics as one of "Higher Education's core pillars"? It sounds like American exceptionalism. Granted, athletics might become more important to Higher Education in other parts of the World. If so, that's very likely to come from US influence. The residential campus model is an interesting one. It's common and diverse. In my experience, it's not much of a consideration outside of the US.
Even tenure tends to vary quite a bit. In our context (Quebec's Cegep system), it doesn't really exist. A prof gets a permanent position after a while, as in a "regular job".
Which does make me think, yet again, about the specificity of Quebec's Higher Education. Universities in Quebec are rather typical among Canadian universities and differences with US universities & colleges can be quite subtle. Colleges in the Cegep system are very specific. They're a bit like two-year colleges in the US or like community colleges in both the US & other parts of Canada (NBCC, for instance). Yet our system remains hard to explain.
(This tate comes in the context of my reminiscing over my time in the US after monitoring posts from a number of US-based publications including IHE. Guess I should diversify my feeds.)
Learning engineering is an emerging discipline at the intersection of learning science and computer science that seeks to design learning systems with the instrumentation, data, and partnerships with the research community, to drive tight feedback loops and continuous improvements in how that learning is delivered in online and blended settings.

Engage students at scale
Reminds me that a strength of annotation practices have to do with keeping things at human scale.
Section 182.B seems to cover it. These materials are human beings. Buying and selling humans interferes -at the very least!- with human dignity. I’m no lawyer, and I don’t think this has ever been tested in court. But: If a platform profits from a user’s breaking of the platform’s very own policies on human remains, if a platform turns a blind eye, is the platform not condoning the trade? Is this not a nudge-nudge wink-wink tacit approval of the trade? Who should want to invest in a platform that makes money from selling human beings? Should we not hold such a platform accountable?

the reminder of how writing and judgment are intertwined has been with most of us from a young age

The four C’s of 21st Century skills are: Critical thinking Creativity Collaboration Communication
Convenient to have these four share an initial. (My perception is that a tendency to emphasize this type of parallelism has been strengthening over the years. At least, I don't recall this practice being common in French when I grew up.)
Professor Peter Jaszi from American University's Washington College of Law discusses copyright issues in hip hop at a recent Community Cinema event.
More like sample-based musicmaking than Hip Hop specifically. Still use to think of the Fair Use Muscle.

about the eonxr platform that might work in terms of education so um a little bit of background i've been a faculty member for nearly 35 years and so my main interest here is in the learning
Alias, a very, very digital oscillator based on ignoring extensive research into low aliasing waveform generation methods, which as a result gives lots of 8-bit joy
Wellplayed!
constantly evolving open textbook
sessions of intense learning for settler Canadians who want to decolonize their thinking
Notable examples
made more relevant to the Canadian history student by illustrating how colonialism and imperialism played out on Canadian soil
As clear an argument for adapting learning material as can be.

The Problem with Textbooks
Rather than say these are unethical people we should take accountability for the unethical system they are working in.
I haven’t seen a college mission statement with any of these:• Pit students and teachers against one another• Rank students competitively• Reduce the humanity of students to a single low-resolution standardized metric• Frustrate learning with approaches that discourage intrinsic motivation• Reinforce bias against marginalized students• Fail to trust students’ knowledge of their own learning
Touché!
Grades are a morass education has fallen into that frustrates our ability to focus on student learning.
Oh, Jesse... Always mincing words... ;-)
The rubrics I find most exciting are ones crafted by students
... yet even those never helped Jesse make sense of grading?
Rubrics have never helped me make sense of grading or being graded.
Wow. "Never" is a strong word.
I'm really not a fan of rubrics.
You don't say! Mr. "Rubrics are inhumane"... ;-)
Peer-Assessment
One of my favourite techniques... And one I set up in a simple way.
I typically have some form of weekly contribution which is posted publicly and assessed by other members of the class. Basically: the output of low-stakes assignments are posts in a forum and students rate one another using a simple scale (eg. satisfactory, excellent, unsatisfactory). The aggregate ratings make up that grade. And there's a grade for those peer-ratings.
A basic need this technique fulfills is about getting continuous feedback. Though shallow, ratings tend to satisfy some of the most grade-obsessed students, Which makes it easier for me to focus on the learning process.
What's more interesting, though, is that it gets learners to pay attention to each other's work. Unlike the typical "I need you to comment on five posts", it's more of a nudge. The effect is that there's a lot more reference to what others have said and, in some cases, it really contributes to the community-building aspect of my teaching. Sure, it's just one part of the whole process. But it does help.
So... For me, peer-assessment is almost a way to placate the grading spirits”.
Which might be the opposite of ungrading.
Ah, well...
process letter that addresses their own contributions as well as the functionality and dynamic of the team they're working with
Sounds fairly heavy. Probably makes a lot of sense in some contexts, for instance when developing an understanding of the collaboration is really central to the course. (In some of my courses, I've had a lighter version of this which ended up not being that useful.)
