We're recruiting a postdoc for the lab to further research on #learninganalytics in #highered ! Of particular interest are scholars in or adjacent to the @SoLAResearch @LearningAtScale @IAIEDsociety EDM @acm_chi and related fields. More details here: groups.google.com/g/learning…
It kills me to see that @elonmusk called it right when he said @Rivian couldn't scale. I hoped the capital from Amazon/Ford was to be used to surmount these challenges, but guess they couldn't. Wonder if @JeffBezos delivery vans will be getting 20% more expensive. I doubt it.
As I watch dawn begin to break with my hands threading the laces on @ fresh pair of @AltraRunning Paradigms I wonder - is there anything better than #newshoeday ? #running
I don't know, it might be better to have Coke pushing new drinks at me in my dreams instead of elementry school test nightmares fueled by teachers and systems who felt that constant high pressure assessment was what education should be...

Spured on by a @TimMcKayMI tweet on rain I hit my post-surgery #running goal and squeaked out a half marathon training run which matched my pre-surgery time. Is he a mere mortal, or an intelligent hyper-adaptive twitter-integrated ECoach who is nudging my life towards the better?

Indiana's @BenMotz and @FyfeEmily are education research's real-world Mulder & Scully, casting bright lights on ed psych theories by engaging in large-scale diverse replications. It's time for us to know instead of believe! #highered #xfiles #learningsciences

Yesterday morning at 4am I found myself sitting in the dark on the floor with a match, melting the ends of my favorite laces after stringing up a new pair of @AltraRunning paradigms. What a great day :) #runnershigh

When I was in SF 2018 I visited @mekarpeles at the @internetarchive and got a tour of the wonderful church by @brewster_kahle himself.
We passed this statue of @aaronsw, and I took this picture which I added to his Wikipedia article the other day. Thank you Aaron, for everything
I think there are some serious limitations here: "... the teachers were aware of which groups of students received cookies and had access to cookies themselves..."
I can guarantee that cookies are causal on my teaching prowess @vkovanovic !
Stuck with a poorly designed course and worried your course evaluations will be down? don't worry and just bring cookies

Mad props to @jpgard and @BakerEDMLab for this awesome team effort! A few papers, a best paper, and a heck of a lot of great #mooc data!
Congratulations to UMSI Assistant Professor Christopher Brooks (@cab938), who nabbed an honorable mention for his work on educational data science replications in the @um_midas Reproducibility Challenge ➡️ myumi.ch/zxWGb
As of today this is mandatory reading in both my undergrad and grad data manipulation courses @umsi! We need a paradigm shift and quit teaching iteration as the first way to modify data. We live in a parallel world, let's think in broadcasting! #theloopisdead #python #datascience
The NumPy paper is out!
