#microsoft made #opensource the 3D #moviemaker from 1995! https://www.howtogeek.com/803277/microso.. I remember using this, it was an awesome way to tell simple #stories . I actually wouldn't mind using this *today* to help #teach #subjects to #students ! Next I want #windows #moviemaker too: https://en.wikipedia.org//wiki/Windows_M.. Then we're really cooking!
Very cool #story about #students #revolting against a #university 's #surveillance https://pluralistic.net/2022/10/07/senso.. What was interesting to me is that #hr #bypassed the #ethics approval system for #scientific #research , despite it being a *requirement.*
Oh wow, apparently #prettier people get better #grades https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/ar.. Apparently for #female #students their #grades were more #representative once #remote #online #teaching was used. Weirdly, good looking #make #students still were positively #biased . I suspect male attractiveness is not just #appearance but also #voice , etc. Nobody can claim I have made use of this at least...
Very #concerning that #chinese #students at the #university of #perdue #gatekeeping #freespeech of students #studying in the #us https://www.purdueexponent.org/campus/ar.. #china 's #ccp has infected into #western #campuses ... Even an #nz #academic was #harassed #criminally over their #research https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne-Marie.. I think the #ccp needs to be recognized as a #threat .

Wow, #white #students at #arizona #state #university in the #us are being kicked out of " #multicultural #spaces " for being #white - more #evidence that #blm is fundamentally #racist https://timcast.com/news/arizona-state-u.. My favourite statement: "This #offends us #automatically [..]", i.e. #programming ... The lack of #awareness is incredible. Absolutely disgusting, I would not expect any #race to do this to another.
This is insanity, apparently 25% of #students aged between 16-32 take non- #prescribed #adderall https://twitter.com/hubermanlab/status/1.. Apparently 5-10% take #modafinil / #armodafanil - and 30-35% take #amphetamine ... Apparently this is all to deal with the #pressure of #highereducation . Many people I know are on #antidepression #drugs in #university - there is a hidden #crisis that *nobody* is really taking seriously.
Interesting, so #cornell #university is forcing #students to return to campus and they *must* have a #covid #vaccination - except for #religious reasons: https://covid.cornell.edu/updates/202108.. Well, #religion is an #ideology - their ideology is no more sacred than one I write on the back of a napkin. Failing to get vaccinated will see students be under #surveillance and tested two times a week, restricted from #course changes and unable to access the WiFi. What the fuck?
Several #students in #ohio #us have been #expelled for pushing back on #criticalracetheory https://www.lotuseaters.com/ohio-school-.. I suspect this will get worse before it gets better.
Yeah, #covid has changed everything, including the life of #students https://www.chronicle.com/article/the-su.. Apparently it is now appropriate to monitor your #socialmedia - #scan your room and now have you wear #iot #sensors - insanity!
