@timbocop So there's almost a sense of being in a synchronous dialogue with the author, even though they wrote their side years before you read it and composed the thoughts that form your side of the dialogue.

[Phil Marston @philmarston]

@timbocop This also reminds me of when I first read Diana Laurillard's Conversational Framework - I remember thinking some authors write as if they are preemptively conversing with their readers and others seem to be broadcasting with out a thought for their readers.

[Phil Marston @philmarston]

@timbocop in answer to your question, it would strike me that a student involved in a 2-way conversational dialogue with an AI with immediate responses from both parties is involved in synchronous learning.

[Phil Marston @philmarston]

@timbocop Does the synchronous vs asynchronous dichotomy stand in for dialogue vs broadcast - with the pretence that synchronous is somehow more dialogic? The whole favouring of lectures (F2F or Zoom) perhaps because they 'could' allow a conversation even if they rarely do?

Sounds like still some work to do on Research Teaching Linkages @UoE #UoELTConf22

[Phil Marston @philmarston]

At my next session “Sustainable Futures” @ #UoELTConf22 - I was talking with someone in the break about ‘Resilience’ - I’d be interested to hear the intersections of these two areas being touched on

@parami That looks like a screengrab off Tetris 😉
