  6. Where do we predict to see the inertia of big-tech compliant neoliberal #highered LMS movement in the wake of the #canvas breach? #academicchatter

    No, Sakai and other FOSS alternatives are not an option. Read the first part again.

  8. The American Astronomical Society, the primary professional society of #astronomy and #astrophysics in the US, has two meetings every year. In each meeting, ~12-14 distinguished scientists and awardees are given plenary talks, a rare honor most astronomers will *not* receive in their career.

    By some conspiracy of fate, this summer we are having talks by both Carolyn Kierans AND Carolyn Kuranz.

    I dare not attempt to calculate the probability.

  14. When asked for a comment, a spokesperson for Anthology, the parent company of Canvas competitor Blackboard, (probably would have) said "Well, Well, Well, it's not So easy To Find A Learning Management System that doesn't suck shit, now is it?"

  22. USFS Bartlett Experimental Forest is closing. This was a reference site in much of my research in the US.

    It has been almost 9 years since I left the US, and it is sometimes hard to admit how profoundly events in US still affect me. Parts of my life are tied up in it.

  27. If anyone coming across this post is at an institution that uses Canvas, please send me links/images of how your IT depts are announcing the outage. I'm going to be collating pages over the coming days, but there's thousands of Canvas schools and only one of me!

  28. Some more directly say "this isn't an *us* problem" while others are more general -- for students trying to turn in work and profs just trying to grade, the distinction of *who* is actually responsible is probably not the top priority right now

  29. Canvas, which is used by a huge number of US colleges and universities, has been targeted by a cyberattack -- I've been doing work on the "platformization" and neoliberalization of higher education. I'm really interested in how institutions that are doing crisis comms right now are positioning themselves vis-a-vis Instructure and Canvas.
