A bit of a LinkedIn rant from me. I’ll get on my soapbox all the time about good asynchronous options for higher education students! #AcademicSky
I received a gorgeous email from a student while I was on leave, with talk of how asynchronous formats and materials benefitted them. Higher education is largely built in a way that assumes that people have no prevailing health needs, caring responsibilities, full-time work to sustain studies, and the list goes on! I’m so proud to teach distance learning in a way that offers a blend of synchronous and asynchronous teaching, because being truly inclusive involves giving a choice. 

Higher education as a whole needs to be way more considerate of asynchronous, silent learners. Non-attendance to live lectures does not automatically mean non-engagement, and that bias needs to challenged. A group classroom environment doesn’t work for everyone, and that is okay 💜

💯 As I tell my students, having AI write your philosophy paper is like sending a robot to the gym for you and expecting to reap the health benefits.

'The readiness to repudiate identity politics & group them under “bad woke” is less about policy and more about the fact that social justice never really found a home amongst liberals, who were happy to capture its energy but not its demands.' The week's column www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

‘Woke’ didn’t lose the US election: the patrician class who hijacked identity politics did | Nesrine Malik
Why is this simple explanation being so widely embraced? Because it does not require a commitment to real, structural change, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik
