@santanu1477 @XfinitySupport @Xfinity @comcast They didn’t share the reasons, just when it is supposed to get resolved, which isn’t actually that helpful: because it doesn’t guarantee that it won’t happen again soon. Disappointing!

[Umika Kumar @UmikaKumar]

Hey @XfinitySupport @xfinity and @comcast - this is the third time in two weeks we’ve had an internet, TV, etc outage that is supposed to last for a full day. Saturday’s lasted from morning til 3:30am the next day. What is going on? Why are there consistent outages?

[Umika Kumar @UmikaKumar]

@XfinitySupport I’ve DMed you the information!

[Umika Kumar @UmikaKumar]

@xfinitylatino I can’t DM you, so I DMed @xfinitysupport!

[Umika Kumar @UmikaKumar]

@XfinitySupport I sent a DM! Waiting for your response!!

[Umika Kumar @UmikaKumar]

Hey @XfinitySupport @xfinity and @comcast - what’s with the >12h internet outage in the midst of working hours? & why did the time that it’ll be restored get pushed three hours? Is this going to be an ongoing issue? I want to know so I can plan how I’m going to get my work done!

@PortervillePrez @CalCommColleges @PCollegePirates @NCII_HigherEd @JohnstoneRob @CommunityCCRC @CCPathwaysGuru It was great hearing you and Mark speak on the panel — glad to meet you in person!

[Umika Kumar @UmikaKumar]

@marcomonroyr HELL YES!!!!

[Umika Kumar @UmikaKumar]

Having interviewed students at 6 colleges in 3 states on their experiences in college, I agree. There is so much more to be captured through students’ words than their multiple choice responses (although I am a fan of a well-crafted survey for some research questions).

[Dr Madeleine Pownall @maddi_pow]

After spending all morning coding 5 hours of focus groups in which students discussed their experiences of online teaching, I'm convinced that all research that wants to say something meaningful about the student experience should be qualitative
