Prof. Emily Nordmann

It is partly that & have to be more careful with my time but also I just find Bluesky a bit dead and a bit too US-focused and couldn't find a way to change it that didn't require a lot of effort. Not sure no algorithm is the way forward, something between "here's nazi content" and tumbleweed be nice

If you are someone i have a reasonably personal connection with (and by that I mean we'd happily go to the pub just the two of us), then feel free to add me on Insta or Facebook. But it is all personal nonsense.

Not that I think anyone missed me but a check in to say multiple professional social media accounts have become too much and for a variety of reasons, LinkedIn is a better solution (even if it gives me the boak), so if you have missed me, please find me there.

I think it's unhelpful but unfortunately still a very, very common misconception (and the generation it applies to seems to update to "the one after yours") rather than any fixed period.

Learning technologists - what's the most annoying thing about working with academics/what don't we understand about your job that you wish we did?

I am writing a blog for #ALTC25, be as honest as you like 😅

Learning connections: the power of sector networks to make a difference (especially for conference newcomers)  When first I heard about ALT, I was amazed – a whole community of people like me, who geek out about the kinds of things I geek out about, and who get ex…

Such a fab day with @emilynordmann.bsky.social and her wonderful colleagues at Glasgow Uni. Talked about my favourite things - #scholarship and #disability #inclusion and had some fascinating conversations. Thanks everyone!! 🥰

I read this and enjoyed it and then I read a review that said it's designed to be read twice (it's 47 pages) and it's true and was even better the second time.

I don't think this is helping the Cairngorms case 😅

I will make a map of routes that mention woodland and forest 🌲🌲🌲

Obsession continues w/ requested updates. Analysis by user rating & no of people who have climbed each Munro, non-natural features (bothy, toilet) & the "best" & "worst" Munros.

This manuscript will be a chapter in the upcoming book "Teaching Open Science" edited by @maddipow.bsky.social and @drcpennington.bsky.social which I am fully delighted to be a part of 🎉

Glad to be able to share new preprint on how to make supervising dissertation projects more open and efficient with secondary data, open data, and evidence synthesis with Ashley Robertson, @amcreaven.bsky.social, Elayne Ahern, and @katebutton.bsky.social

Ohhhhh. Well there goes my evening.

Unfortunately, I think the rating is encoded as an image (picture of number of stars) and I wasn't able to scrape that info in a way that gave me a number ;/

Did I get obsessed with the Munro #TidyTuesday and go on a @walkhighlands.co.uk deep dive (gratefully with their consent)?

Yes.

Did I have to migrate my website from Hugo to Quarto to make interactive plots work?

Yes.

Was it worth it?

Yes.

Agree. I dislike how people use an overflowing inbox as an excuse to avoid responding to reasonable work requests. A lot of work is still conducted over email.

Adelaide University students and staff to stage sit-in over ‘travesty’ of fewer in-person lectures Students unhappy about lack of course choice and flexibility, as they await clarification about which subjects will move online

“James, another signatory, said “the only thing that makes the information we learn from university any different from what we can gather online by ourselves is the in-person lectures performed by actual professors in our fields of study”.”

We don’t just scroll—we learn while scrolling. This “incidental learning” can shape what we know, believe, and even how we act. Sometimes useful, sometimes risky (hello, misinformation). What have you learned incidentally lately?

So…there’s, like, a whole area of motivation research about how motivation doesn’t necessarily need to come from interest (e.g., productive, autonomous extrinsic motivation, how to productively regulate one’s motivation, etc.). It’s not a new thing, either. selfdeterminationtheory.org/theory/

I'm no Cassandra, but I've been exploring this alternative to GS if the Sentient AI Overlords pull the plug on GS. It's this and it is, currently, terrible: openalex.org

A new afex update is now on CRAN. it's mostly a maintenance update dealing with a bug in pbkrtest and preparing for the next major releases of ggplot2 and lme4.

First Murakami novel, he is a bit weird isn't he. I thought it was excellent but also it took me longer to read than it should given the length so it gets docked a star for not compelling me to read.

Amazing Tidy Tuesday for the venn diagram of data nerds and baggers - check out the hashtag #tidytuesday for more graphical munro magic.

I've just realised that it was a Tidy Tuesday topic, I had managed to miss this. There's the weekend!

Love it 😍

We've done 58 as of this weekend - we won't get them all because some are too scary but aiming for 250.

I have used my real name as my username for many years across almost every platform because it stops me being (too much of) an arsehole on the internet and I decided forced inhibition was worth the risk 😅

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Ridiculous but fun. Should have been 100 pages shorter as usual.
