📣 ICYMI - our Center for Academic Innovation colleague Jihyun's co-authored paper was nominated for Best Paper at #AIED2020 (Artificial Intelligence in Education) 2020!

I'm 10 days into a 14 day quarantine for travel and can't wait to get back outside for a workout....

Lounging in the @umich diag reading Algorithms to Live By by Brian Christian and Tom Griffiths for tonight's School of Information #datascience #bookclub - the problem of scheduling, chapter 5!

As of today this is mandatory reading in both my undergrad and grad data manipulation courses School of Information! 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

Mad props to Josh Gardner and Baker EDM Lab 배박사 연구소 for this awesome team effort! A few papers, a best paper, and a heck of a lot of great #mooc data!

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 Vitomir Kovanović !

Gotta raise them right! 🇨🇦

When I was in SF 2018 I visited Mek at the Internet Archive and got a tour of the wonderful church by Brewster Kahle himself. We passed this statue of Aaron Swartz, and I took this picture which I added to his Wikipedia article the other day. Thank you Aaron, for everything

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 Altra Running paradigms. What a great day :) #runnershigh

Indiana's Ben Motz and efyfe 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

Spured on by a Tim McKay 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?

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...

As I watch dawn begin to break with my hands threading the laces on @ fresh pair of Altra Running Paradigms I wonder - is there anything better than #newshoeday ? #running

It kills me to see that Elon Musk 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 Jeff Bezos delivery vans will be getting 20% more expensive. I doubt it.

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 SoLAR ACM Learning@Scale 2024 (Georgia Tech, Atlanta) IAIED Society EDM ACM CHI Conference and related fields.
