I’ve been attending webinars on top of my day-to-day the last two days with a prospective Learning Management System (LMS) and I’ve learned so much information in this time. I really hope we can get the buy-in and IT support for implementation next year with one of our top two recommendations. Technology has vastly improved and we need to provide access to a better platform and external training 🤓#LearningAndDevelopment#BuyIn#Training#LMS#Learning
Learning new-to-me Salesforce features is both fun and frustrating. Documentation rarely answers my questions. They're either too niche or the answer is "no" so no one has written about it. Maybe I should make a blog that's just about what Salesforce can't do so that a result appears when searched.
I was reminded of some old studies by Toukhsati and Rickard on how rhythms can facilitate learning in young chickens, which have been mostly ignored over the years, probably because they were ahead of their time.
But they seem especially relevant to those of us in music cognition who are increasingly interested in the neural mechanism of rhythm, beat, meter, and groove in both humans and non-human animals. Not to mention the health and education applications of music!
Can one import and use a follow list from one account to another regardless if an account is formally "moved" or not?
I started with an account on mstdn.ca... is it possible to "reactivate” that account after the transfer/move so that it no longer redirects to the 'new' account?
So this is partially at people that think language doesn't change but also just really cool. I learned recently that R's in english are slowly disappearing. It's especially prominant in American English. R's are increasingly unpronounced.
It makes pronouncing German for English speakers very difficult. So I have been partially rolling my 'r's like a spanish rr as a crutch as I relearn to pronounce r's.
You know what's also really cool? the i in the personal pronoun "ich" in German is empty. You are not pronoucning the i you are pronouncing an empty vowel. It's also what makes German sound so choppy compared to Dutch. Every single space in German is this unpronounced vowel.
Isn't that cool? And proof that language changes constantly even if purists like to pretend it doesn't? It's one of the defining factors that differentiates British English and American English speakers. Weak rs!
Step by step I study and experiment with Unreal Engine 5 and Niagara. I worked with Unity for 6 years, but I did not use the Particle System very skillfully. And I can't remember if I could so quickly reproduce there what I can in Unreal. For example, controlling particles by spline
I've seen several respected luminaries argue that LLM is not "true AI" or "Strong AI" since it's based on large learning sets and predictive behavior. They argue that humans and animals are not taught on such large language models or data sets.
What are education and experience, if not Large Learning Models based on the teaching of schools, universities, and books?
The new issue of Educational Psychologist is out! This issue contains cutting-edge ideas on school segregation and social processes and also teachers’ emotion regulation and effectiveness. It also has Thomas Good’s Career achievement address on decades of teacher expectations and effectiveness research. Let’s go!!!!! https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/hedp20/59/2
Offset the cost by setting my Apple One subscription to renew at the base tier. I’d rather spend the money on stuff to learn in Brilliant than on Apple News+ which I rarely use, and Apple Fitness+ which I never use.
I’m going to do all the chemistry courses on Brilliant first. As a refresher for my chemistry knowledge.
There’s been a lot of hubbub lately about the role of knowledge in reading instruction. What exactly do people mean when they say “knowledge matters” - what kinds of knowledge are we talking about? Drs. McCarthy and McNamara have a great way to think about knowledge and text comprehension. Check it out: https://soundcloud.com/user-883650452/dr-kathryn-soo-mccarthy-dr-danielle-mcnamara
