I think in terms of peer review — whether it’s online or not, or for an open-access or not an open journal — we still need to find ways to improve the peer review process. I’ve heard some […]

One question I have is (and I’m not familiar with Wikiversity so perhaps this is already addressed within the platform) but what will the process of creating curricula look like, if educators are […]

The notion of “Quick Edit” doesn’t seem to equate with taking off comment boxes for me …

To get the comments off the pages though — go to Pages (in the sidebar) — then for each page, click “Quick Edit”. There’s a check box on the right that says “Allow Comments” which you can […]

Quick comment…I wonder too, what assessments of teacher engagement might look like, if we have to shift how we assess student engagement.

I would echo what Christina said, in that I don’t really see this as […]

I feel like getting this approach “to work” will require an overall shift in norms in teaching style. If all (or most) classes […]

Would Yelp itself not be a platform that could be promoted, since they include health services? I’m curious to hear more about the second idea … what are you interested in monitoring […]

As you know, sugar-sweetened soda contributes to rising rates of obesity, diabetes and other life threatening chronic diseases. Soda companies profit by targeting children and young people for their unhealthy products. Counter-advertising against the tobacco industry helped convince many young people […]
