💡 How can digital technologies help you learn?

From videos and games to apps and AI, digital tools are everywhere - but what do they really bring to education?

In "Teaming up with Technology for Learning", we explore how technology can become a learning companion.

Data-Intensive Investigations of English by Mikko Laitinen and Paula Rautionaho
Illustrated with case studies throughout, this book shows that digital tools provide novel answers to old questions in English linguistics.

🍎 Tuesday Teaching Tip (T3)

Teaching for transfer: Transfer is when students apply learning beyond a single task or context. Support it by building clear mental models, varying practice, and asking “Where else might this apply?” Small prompts help students see knowledge as flexible and reusable.

Human-caused climate change, which has likely increased the intensity of extreme rainfall by 40% compared to pre-industrial times, along with the cyclical La Niña, has led to catastrophic flooding in southern Africa, killing 200 and affecting thousands. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

Global Tipping Points | understanding risks & their potential impact Harmful tipping points in the natural world threaten humanity by disrupting life support systems and societal stability.

What do tipping points mean for climate policy?
Climate change won't be smooth.
Delay reaching emission targets by a few years, and you might not just get slightly worse climate impacts.
You may unwittingly cross a line for unstoppable, massive changes.

How do autistic people age — and what does it mean for their health? Most research on autism focuses on younger people, but some studies suggest older adults face increased risks — and perhaps benefits.

Functional plant traits help explain ecosystem stability. The authors show that it is only at local scales that species richness stabilizes productivity, and functional diversity destabilizes productivity, with neither effect evident at larger spatial scales.

Tumatäplät avainasemassa virusinfektion etenemisessä Jyväskylän ja Bar-Ilanin yliopistojen yhteistutkimus osoittaa, että tumatäplät ovat välttämättömiä viruksen lähetti-RNA:n tuottamiselle, sillä ne toimivat keskuksina, jotka muokkaavat sekä välittävät lähetti-RNA:n kuljetusta tumasta.

🦠 Jyväskylän ja Bar-Ilanin yliopistojen yhteistutkimus paljastaa, että tumatäplät ovat keskeisessä roolissa viruksen lähetti‑RNA:n muokkauksessa ja sen kuljetuksessa tumasta pois, mikä tekee tumatäplistä tärkeän kohteen virusinfektioiden ymmärtämisessä. ⏩ r.jyu.fi/GEb
