Neuromatch had a great time at #JupyterCon 🤓 🎉
Our courses run on the Project Jupyter platform, making hands-on, collaborative learning possible for thousands of global #ComputationalScience students.

I discovered #Moodle in the spring on 2003. I thought it was a very exciting project and would like to get involved.
I woke up this morning at 5 AM, and my first thought was about Moodle. I then listened the audio from a presentation at #MoodleMootGlobal25. I am about to do some programming relating to Moodle. In my day job my work is to do with Moodle.
I feel very fortunate.

@X_net Something that may be under-utilized in #TechProcurement is that you don’t have to always just do the cheapest. You can have other criteria (gender equity, privacy, etc.)
Writing the tenders FOR the policymakers may be a way to make it easier for them. We can’t let #BigTech (or more accurately #BigAdvertizing) write the rules of the game.

@X_net I got to ask Simona about how most “ #EdTech software” is not actually just software, but it’s SaaS. It’s a subscription with customer support. #OSS, even if we have great #UX (which is still a work in progress), software alone isn’t a full substitute.
Simona talks about how that is a place where we DO need the government to step up. The software can be free and open, it can be maintained by all of us, but the government funds should go toward providing these services.

What we're reading:
"Asked to generate intervention plans for struggling students, AI teacher assistants recommended more punitive measures for hypothetical students with Black-coded names and more supportive approaches for students the platforms perceived as white, a new study shows."
We know that educators are bombarded with (VC-funded) hype about AI tools as magical solutions. Please don't take these claims at face value and do your own due diligence. 1/3

#postdoc #hiring - I have a 1-year opening, to be started early next year, for a postdoc in #hci and #edtech in the E+ project L2BGreen. The ideal candidate will be interested in investigating interaction design patterns for #conversationalAgents, especially mixing textual/visual/voice-based communication. Contact me for questions, applications must be via the job portal: https://lnkd.in/dmAa_nAa

What if digital learning were a commons rather than a platform?
Online education often centres control and ownership, but open education and federated systems hint at a different model built on collaboration, reciprocity, and shared care.
I explore this idea in my latest post:
