"I've long been frustrated at the way that #techbros claim to be #democratizing things like #accessToAI or "access to information". It always seems to be deployed as an excuse for hoarding data…

@toddo on top of that there's bias based on the difficulty of the class and on the introduction of new concepts that the students don't believe will benefit them. We're negotiating this with warning introductions to the person reading the evals for, say, tenure or promotion.

But my day job—fostering #sharedgovernance and wrangling a #library system that also has responsibility for campus #edtech, research software, & instructional design at a large regional comprehensive university recently turned R2 is pretty intense, so—sadly—not much time for hobbies or scholarship, anymore. On the other hand, I’m also just getting over a bad bout of #covid (my first; never want to do that again!) — and am trying to slow down my work pace, in general. (#introduction part 2?)
