Incredibly useful to have the checklist in hand to identify a WMD and avoid from being blindly victimized by it! Highly recommend for any educators interested in learning analytics! https://t.co/bGQzs9u7N3

Hierarchies, compliance, outdated or updated systems, and standardized tests may actually boost creativity in how to game the system. Kinda a #structuredcreativity - gotta have the system first and then game it.

[Brian Aspinall @mraspinall]

Schools don't kill creativity, hierarchies do. Policies do. Compliance does. Outdated systems do. Standardized tests do. Report cards do. Ego does. Competition does. Negativity does. Pressure does. Burnout does. One size fits all methods do. Poor leadership does.

And it's an easy way to put your ideas out there and receive the fasted responses from a wide range of audience that you may never have a chance to connect with in non-social-media life.

[Paul M.A. Baker @[email protected] @PaulMBaker]

"An engaging presence on social media means more than showcasing your research. It’s a component of career-building, a calling card for that next position, and your chance to develop an international profile." #phdchat @researchwhisper https://t.co/UpIdL7hYCt via @WaynelsChan

Want to learn? Take a nap. More research evidence: 1) 90 min of sleep accelerates memory re-stabilization. 2) A short nap protects labilized declarative memories against interference.

Forgot to add #GuildChat... Try again.

Depends on the definition of "realistic" - e.g. immersing in a animated world to learn abt animation. “Realistic” in this context probably doesn't mean resemblance of real life...

[The Learning Guild #DevLearn #Learning2024 @LearningGuild]

Q2 Does a successful immersive learning experience have to be realistic? Why or why not? #GuildChat

[Yang Fan, instructional design @yangfan2learn]

@eLearningGuild A4 when learners need a lower risk environment to learn from mistakes #GuildChat

Also shouldn't forget those learning center and disability services "staff"

[Yang Fan, instructional design @yangfan2learn]

Thread abt a weird divide in #HigherEd. I think the weirdness also applies to librarians and academic advisors as "staff"

[Jesse Stommel @Jessifer]

The people who do the work of teaching and learning development are too often relegated to staff roles at institutions where the faculty / staff divide is persistent (and sometimes cruel).

[Yang Fan, instructional design @yangfan2learn]

@eClassDesigner Great question and it'll probably take a few different fields of research to answer it. What I can think of includes growth mindset, encouraging failures, focusing on learning instead of performance...

[Yang Fan, instructional design @yangfan2learn]

Great idea! The only question I'd ask is how students can review the feedback after the meetings. Will the meetings be recorded AND transcribed? Where and how long will the recordings be stored and accessible for students?
