Brief history of the Copyright Amendment Bill. @DeniseNicholson highlights the reaction to the new proposed amendments. "Overly restrictive and/or prohibitive, even unconstitutional...leaving thousands of stakeholders perplexed and dissatisfied". https://t.co/XTH7uTLEZo

[open-text-book @text_open]

The battle to pass the copyright amendment bill is a ..."skirmish in an ongoing battle .... waged by powerful lobbies ...to keep as much control .. of “IP”, even if this means cutting off scholars ... from intellectual resources that are badly needed" https://t.co/DZsALaGcbN

Microcopy is the term for the small bits of copy in the user interface that help users figure out how to do things. Like error messages, labels in a contact form, pop-up hints. Surprisingly, these tiny words have a massive impact on conversions. https://t.co/aLrb3qv0aP

Congratulations @DeniseNicholson on Scholarly Horizons' First Birthday. https://t.co/YAGugiTQD7. May there be many more

Let's say you want to see if your students have done the reading. Surveilling student behavior in a social annotation tool is not the way! Here's a quick thread on ways you *can* tell if students have done the reading that's not conducted in the spirit of policing. (1/6)
