I’ve always believed that instructors/teachers experience more decision fatigue than other professions, and because of it reach a burnout tipping point as the semester goes on. Far worse curing Covid, I’m sure. https://t.co/5psoU076re

Last month, #RecRoom reached a $1 billion valuation. Experts say that more such #unicorns are on the way, especially in applications that encourage #virtual #communities to thrive.

One liberal arts college cuts its #library budget by one third:https://t.co/C7oPBt0XbD

Million-dollar library budget cut hinders resource access, burdens librarians
The Middlebury College Libraries had its non-personnel budget cut by nearly a third for the 2021 fiscal year, resulting in reduced or delayed access to databases, journals and books, as well as an increasing reliance on interlibrary loan (ILL).
Other services were transitioned to a token system. In contrast to the previous unlimited access model, the college now pays for a finite supply of tokens that are used to purchase access to sources individually.

small qualitative studies are almost always critiqued for lack of generalizability. it is less common to critique huge quantitative studies for loss of nuance and richness. and that tells you quite a lot about what kinds of knowledge we value.

Facebook is testing Hotline, a Q&A app that’s a bit like Clubhouse, but with video. A real-estate investor hosted the app’s first live session. https://t.co/h8vW0ZASvc

Hotline can be accessed via its website — there’s no app version available for smartphones yet. The website requires users to sign in via their Twitter account, rather than their Facebook account, then leave their name on a waiting list.
In contrast to audio-only Clubhouse, Hotline users can use videos and livestreams with a Q&A feature to chat to their audience, a bit like live videos on Instagram, which Facebook owns.
