Some reflections on working through a pandemic and our opportunities for a new and more human "normal."

"We've always been more and felt more and needed more than perhaps our jobs have permitted us to be and feel and need."

It’s pretty clear what at @educause #edu23 attendees think about the future of AI in higher ed!

@DCBPhDV2 Man. Thanks for the Clem Snide reminder. Forgot how much I used to listen to and love them.

[Mark McCormack @MarkMcCNash1]

@DCBPhDV2 No no no no ...

@DCBPhDV2 Hey, I met that guy! :)

[Mark McCormack @MarkMcCNash1]

New @educause case study! I thoroughly enjoyed interviewing the @Baylor team about their #DigitalTransformation journey and partnership with the good folks at @Huron. Some important lessons here about teamwork and intentionality in your project work. https://t.co/DJEJC5gUOE

"Perhaps the greatest pearl of wisdom we can carry into the post-pandemic environment is that compassion and rigor can co-exist in the classroom." Great resource here from @JAndersonNCSU on exercising compassion through our instructional technologies. https://t.co/nLXLIzdrwW

[Mark McCormack @MarkMcCNash1]

Great @educause resource here on the types of bias in #ArtificialIntelligence and #MachineLearning, and the steps institutions can take to address those biases. https://t.co/eWnDoh1LzY

[Mark McCormack @MarkMcCNash1]

New @educause article here with insights from @FLCDurango on their HyFlex course adoption. Align with your institutional mission. Experiment and pilot. Invest in technology infrastructure and faculty support. And listen to your students. https://t.co/6dWY1CDpaH

Important study on the disparities in COVID infection rates among students, with reflections on the long-term implications for student success. "[Students] are not cookie-cutter widget-things; they're people." #studentsuccess #COVID19 #highered https://t.co/n02e53fvEf

Remote work can present different organizations and individuals with many of the same challenges. Watch for ten tips to help distributed teams make the most of working together across geographic distances and personal differences. #remotework https://t.co/0obzYEkNKH

Word of the day: skeuomorphism. Design that can help with function and familiarity, but that can also reinforce rituals and constrain innovation. Great @educause article here from @cm_ozuna and @lgonzalez1 about what this means for teaching and learning. https://t.co/hQeMt5EOZu

[Mark McCormack @MarkMcCNash1]

Equip students with the information they need to plan and work toward their learning goals. @UMich is providing students with a new data dashboard (MyLA), and they're seeing a positive student response so far. @educause #StudentSuccess https://t.co/B4VsctKlmq

[Mark McCormack @MarkMcCNash1]

@DCBPhDV2 Looks like a mound of mashed potatoes to me ;)

[Mark McCormack @MarkMcCNash1]

My colleague @the_twin_sister and I put together 10 tips for distributed teams on the journey of "working remotely together." Enjoy the snazzy video our @EDUCAUSE team created, and check out the list of references. Some great additional reading in there!
