#higered — Public Fediverse posts

I need to prepare a 3-hour tutorial, which has to be ready by the end of next week. Therefore, I’ve spent about two hours selecting the best colour scheme for the terminal. Am I doing this right?

❝Your ability to read (and to write and think critically) was painstakingly developed throughout your life. Given the state of the world, now is definitely not the right time to give up on reading and other human abilities.❞

I enjoyed reading Patrick Lin's essay "Why We’re Not Using AI in This Course, Despite Its Obvious Benefits". Some of it is too US-centric for me to share it with my students and I also dislike what I interpret as a condescending attitude towards vocational schools, but I like many of the analogies and linked articles and am generally grateful that some people in education, including the author, are pushing back against #GenAI in intelligent ways that aim to include rather than exclude students.

How do we prepare veterinary students to talk about The Big Issues as professionals, like climate change, sustainability, animal welfare, and the role of veterinarians in these conversations? How do you prepare students to discuss with people who have very different opinions or background than their own?

The groundwater flow laboratory day (tomorrow) is always one of my favorite laboratory days!

Students are, almost, always shocked to learn how connected pollution, surface water, and groundwater are.

As a reminder, there is a virtual version of this laboratory!

#OSS in #HigherEd

Researchers create an #OpenSource platform for Neural Radiance Field development.

“We set out to create a platform in which people can create new modules and techniques that others can then use,, ultimately, the goal is for Nerfstudio to be an #OSS community project that researchers will feel interested in working with and also helping to push further.”

Something for #HigerEd to think about?

All we've ever asked; equal consideration in procurement. Nice work Oklahoma Office of Management and Enterprise Services.

"Prior to approving software acquisition requests, the purchasing entity shall consider whether proprietary or #OpenSsource software offers the most cost-effective solution for the agency, based on consideration of all associated acquisition, support, maintenance, and training costs."
