The memorial at the top of #Dundee Law, this morning...

How generative AI is going to transform education (for better or worse). A conversation between @ABanksGatenby, @DrewWhitworth1 and @ThePlatformUni about our teaching and research on this urgent topic https://t.co/OeFRIk4FVf

One must admire the section heading, 'The exponential rate of internet shittification'... Saying that AI might destroy the internet as a useful space is worrying, but maybe we'll remember there are alternatives (y'know, books, etc). https://t.co/5qFXoBgNG6 #infolit #AI

Look carefully at this quote from the #BBC web site and ask yourself -- yes indeed, would a zombie truly have done a worse job than Truss? #GeneralElectionNow #thanksToryMembers

@DrewWhitworth1

Trying hard not to feel bad about dropping out of a meeting this afternoon, because changing it from face to face into online made it LESS accessible, not more. It can work that way... #enoughZoomAlready

1,150 year old footnotes in the MacDurnan Gospels at Lambeth Palace Library @lampallib -- noting where the same passage can be found in Matthew, Mark and Luke. Gorgeous object. Very much enjoying my course on The #Medieval #Book (#informationliteracy archaeology...)

UoM colleagues, is it just me or has email gone bye-bye for everyone this morning? #thatmondayfeelingonatuesday @MADTCE @SRayner11 @wilfarmstrong

Another creative approach to #informationliteracy from @elizabethbrookb, using leisure reading collections in academic settings to boost IL, creativity, well being #DMIL #Lilac2022 @MADTCE

Where this one's going I have no idea but the last talk of the day is - "Sounding the Radical Catalog: Sharing Information Literacy Concepts Through Sound".... One for my students and their 'creative approaches' angle I am sure :-) #DMIL #LILAC2022

What is 'data literacy'? A specific skills set that allows us to transform data into information and then knowledge? #Lilac2022 #DMIL "Being able to 'read and write' data visualisations is becoming as important as learning to read and write text"

Call information literacy "information scrutiny" to attract interest, as the audience in this case (Commons researchers) are comfortable with the notion of scrutiny @AnneLiseHarding #DMIL

First talk heard at #Lilac2022. @AnneLiseHarding notes how in a House of Commons research library the info landscape looks different than in the university... Grey literature, reports, not academic papers #DMIL

Vote Shiraz Khan, i say 😁. #VoteShiraz #OneTownOneTeam

In case you thought the #Dystopia wasn't here, in Shanghai people are being kept prisoner at home by robots: https://t.co/0bsF6La8Lj The logical extension of the operation to push us into a digital carceral state. Take care what you wish for, it may come true. #lockdown

Interesting and straightforward article: worth reading if you are into developing any kind of online learning or multimedia; also valid points about how architecture shapes practice #MADTCE @MADTCE #education #technology #Apple

He keeps making me look good on Twitter :-) #nonleague

When crimes are committed, always ask, "Who benefits"? #Oxfam report notes: "The wealth of the world’s 10 richest men has doubled since the pandemic began. The incomes of 99% of humanity are worse off because of COVID-19." https://t.co/AF3ECFfbjz #health #inequality

In our latest blog @DrewWhitworth1 from @EducationUoM asks if it is time to restructure HE exams in favour of project-based digital assessments, which develop skills more relevant to future employment: https://t.co/0JZdAQbcyQ
