IIRC, in Europe this would require explicit consent by every student who attends the class and therefore might be visible or audible in the recording. At least that was the case during the pandemic days.

I pressed some buttons on my keyboard, had a couple of meetings with Alexi Gugushvili and @ppraeg.bsky.social, and this came out: osf.io/preprints/so...

Will probably write a more extensive description of this once I have wrapped up the teaching of this semester and reorganized my life.

The base of it is basically a tibble containing the different days and links. These could literally lead to anything. I chose to populate it with links to cute and fun activities for when distance is not as big as the Atlantic.

I honestly have no idea. I set visibility to “everyone”, that’s as accessible as I can make it without hosting my own website AFAIK. However, I just use my google account for using bookdown which is probably as frictionless as it gets :-)
