@GlobalHigherEd Silence in the shadows is neither leadership nor courageous. U.S. university leadership and most global institutions are not even on the playing field even as student human rights are trampled upon whilst the government does nothing to stop Genocide in Gaza.

@gsiemens 3 weeks minimum - good journals have extensive backlog post pandemic - this Formula 1 review process in daft!

[Dr. Don Olcott Jr. @DonOlcott]

@DominicNewbould Agreed, and it is no accident the UK Ambassador is sitting on his right and clearly pondering WTF am I doing here with this disgraceful representative arguing that genocide is sound policy and humanity.

@gsiemens In an era which A.I. was synonymous with Trumpism! Trump is as artificial as it gets. Four years of damage to all U.S. societal organizations, why would HE be spared. HE is under siege globally - old news.

@SuzyJourno Slava Ukraini!

@arasbozkurt Moral of the story is never, ever abandon one’s own judgment and common sense especially to technology!

[Dr. Don Olcott Jr. @DonOlcott]

@arasbozkurt Indeed, as my first stats professor taught me 40 years ago, you can make numbers say anything! C’est la vie!

@arasbozkurt Mr. Orwell is still in the building trying to educate us.

@terguy Your question is equally applicable to graduate students - if AI becomes the 'new writing' then let's just surrender to Big Brother now.

@drtonybates Although I am not a fan of handbooks perhaps your persuasive charm and insights will make me an advocate :)

@arasbozkurt @AshaKanwarCOL @Zawacki_Richter Hiliary (he) was a reknown scholar of open and distance learning in the developing world. And he was an equally kind, generous and compassionate human being and will be missed.

@terguy My first stats teachers didn't leave me a text book - a dose of good advice - he said never forget that one can make numbers say anything one wants. :)

@misc_nerd Well done Mel!

[Dr. Don Olcott Jr. @DonOlcott]

@arasbozkurt @kshattuck We need to remember moving practice to theory is equally valid - theory is to be challenged.

[Dr. Don Olcott Jr. @DonOlcott]

@misc_nerd More importantly, don't assume universities are teaching undergraduates and some masters' level students research methodology. Forty years ago to earn a bachelor's degree in European history I had to take a research course, conduct the research and write a 60 page paper.

@AppliedHE @WinnieEley @sitihtapsir The A-Team in action - delightful colleagues and terrific dialogue and insights. Indeed, a privilege to take part. :)
