Do any #academicsky friends have experience with Yuja Panorama? My school is integrating it into our LMS starting this winter, and I am simultaneously very supportive of its purpose (checking course materials for accessibility) and very skeptical of ed tech in general. Any tips/warnings/etc?

My colleague points out here that possibly one in seven requests to our library now may be assisted by LLMs.
When those point to fictional documents, that's a huge staff time drain. There's often no quick way to check if an undigitized primary source doc exists beyond physically pulling some boxes.

Semi-regular plug for @acts435.bsky.social. As part of your Advent preparation, if you have the capacity to help someone be warm and fed on Christmas day, this is a great way to make sure a donation gets to someone on the knife edge of poverty. Every little really does help.
Acts 435
Acts 435 is an online giving charity that connects those who want to help with those who have a need, through a network of churches and charities.

You will see this widely misrepresented by mainstream media (BBC et al) & politicians (Bad Enoch) as a win for Peggie, but ALL the claims Peggie made against Dr Beth Upton FAILED.
The only findings in Peggie’s favour was against Fife Health Board related to it’s investigation process & management.

Last week of term. The usual mix of 'no, this really does have to be done before Christmas' and '...actually, this can wait until January' awaits. Plus four hours of bonus carousel teaching on Wednesday. And a pile of marking. Still, we'll get there.

I belong to the camp of #Strictly viewers who feels that it's a show about people with limited or no dance experience learning a new skill, and thus feel quietly satisfied with that result. Although obviously it's sad for the pro that they don't get to power through.

I'm afraid that I'm still not loving this salsa-that-is-not-a-salsa. It's not an easy track to dance to, and I'm afraid I'm still not sold by this choreo. #Strictly
