Unpaid work placements stopping single mums from completing higher education, advocates say abc.net.au/news/2022-09-3…

Moodle academic integrity modules are only speaking to students willing and capable of learn. They have zero effect on groups other than that.

'What has been..robustly complained about are the online courses with no faculty presence, no defined peer-to-peer activities, no feedback and little more than a syllabus and the PDFs for each chapter provided by the textbook publishers.' #onlinelearning buff.ly/3BLiCeX

Tim Fawns Lambert Schuwirth Jan McArthur 💙 Brenna Clarke Gray Dr. Sarah R Lambert (she/her) Mario Veen Anne de la Croix Karen Costa (she/her) I listened to a podcast last night on lists of banned books that traced the regulation of knowledge from the Catholic church to the academy and essentially theorised that our assessment practices are the mirror image of things like the Inquisition.

Bosh! Flimshaw!

The young lady obviously never went to Gould's Book 'Arcade' in Newtown.

Does anyone know of an Otter equivalent that doesn't cost 30 bucks a month?
