I kinda gave up on the idea of teaching students command line stuff in the intro to corpus linguistics 😢 , but now I think I can't actually expect any tools other than browser based ones, because many students only have tablets? 😭 dang #corpusLinguistics#teaching
@tschfflr This was one thing that helped me a lot teaching at Saint John's: every full time student was given a laptop on matriculation, paid for by tuition, and financial aid if they qualified. The laptops were maintained by the university IT department until graduation.
That allowed me to assume they all had a certain minimum level of computing power available. I could just say "Bring your laptops on Thursday, we'll be doing corpus analysis!"
