This year marks the centenary of the founding Manifeste du surréalisme and attendant journal for Surrealism, La Révolution surréaliste (issued from 1924 to 1929).

The movement’s ambition: nothing less than a social and political revolution, a radical synthesis of unconscious desire and waking reality.

"Meta will begin adding [AI listening] across all its apps— include Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger and Facebook.

The A.I. software will become practically omnipresent — inside the news feed, in search bars and in chats with friends."

Horrifying to imagine with a GOP White House. But to be honest, no U.S. regime can be trusted with this.

"Love After Love" by Derek Walcott*

The time will come
when, with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror,
and each will smile at the other's welcome,
and say, sit here, Eat.

You will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread, Give back your heart to itself, to the stranger who has loved you all your life, whom you ignored
...
Sit. Feast on your life.

Data Science Peeps any idea how could I process all this data?

Any practical curatorial strategies for document classification, clustering, topic modelling for inventorying a digital library?

https://mastodon.social/@impactology/112002494725872346

Context for doing this : To create a digital glossary (my first milestone for my book)

A website with a list of definitions thematized according to overlaps between design and educational research

Similar to https://www.practisingethics.org/ at the but for intersection of all these fields

Open access lexicon for built environment researchers & practitioners on ethical principles, guidelines on how to negotiate ethical issues in practice, reading lists of ethics publications, overviews of ethics protocols & case studies practisingethics.org #oer #openeducation
- An interactive website with a list of definitions thematized according to overlaps between design and educational psychology - A catalogue of patterns for the above themes describing their application to software design in the form of a newsletter and eventually a standalone website - A practical design framework with diagrams and processes to apply the theories, concepts and patterns from above themes.
I am currently in the process of writing a book that focuses on designing innovative interactive visual abstractions in Ul design. The aim of this book is to explore new approaches to online learning, teaching, explaining, discovering, and inventing, intersecting with educational psychology, open education, and interface design. The book is centered around designing novel interactive visual abstractions (novel Ul concepts) for new ways of learning, teaching, explaining, discovering, and inventing things online. The book consists of ten themes, each represented by a pair of questions related to Ul design, educational technology, open education, teaching, research, learning, and invention. Each theme is further divided into two sections: analysis and exploration. The analysis section deconstructs existing concepts, while the exploration section delves into potential innovations, resulting in 3000-6000-word essays. In total, the book contains 20 chapters, with each chapter including both analysis and invention sections. The invention sections showcase design prototypes related to teaching, learning, and research.

Dr. Clyde Taylor was born in 1931 in Boston, youngest of 8, to parents active in the civil rights movement. He received BA/MA in English in 1953/1959 from Howard, and his doctorate from Wayne State U. in 1968.

As a young professor in the late 1960s, Dr. Taylor was at the epicenter of a push to bring the study of Black culture into academia.

“You have to deal with Clyde if you talk about Black cinema.” - Manthia Diawara

For anyone interested in late ancient knowledge practices and the history of information technology. #OpenAccess

"Transforming Textuality: Porphyry, Eusebius, and Late Ancient Tables of Contents" Jeremiah Coogan

"Late Antiquity witnessed a revolution in textuality... Editors reconfigured existing works in to facilitate new modes of access and possibilities of knowledge. Using tables of contents, Porphyry and Eusebius reconfigured inherited corpora."

Researchers at the University of Valencia analysed more than two dozen studies on reading comprehension published between 2000 and 2022. They included nearly 470,000 participants in total.

Their findings suggest that print reading over a long period of time could boost reading comprehension skills by SIX to EIGHT times more than digital reading does.

And yet more school systems are completely ditching books for tablets.

Folks learning French,

Found an open access book (PDF) that teaches intermediate & advanced French language via science fiction. It also targets native speakers interested in modern science fiction. Plus, additional stories at the link.

Histoires d'Avenirs s'adresse aux apprenants étrangers (intermédiaire et avancé) mais également à un public natif souhaitant approfondir ses connaissances sur la science-fiction moderne.

What would an education system without the notion of competition be like?

What existing values & beliefs related to learning, teaching and evaluation would need to go away for the above to happen and how might that happen?
