Inspired by @cjdenial.bsky.social and @remikalir.bsky.social , I'm going to have my students annotate my syllabi this year. Given the promising engagement it offers, I'm considering having all my assignments be annotated. Faculty who've done this, what worked and what didn't?

Amazing, thank you Jojo!
So lucky to teach Introduction to Open Educational Resources at the DH Teaching Tools Institute. I drew the other Day 2 presenters, Lorena Gauthreau, @annalacy.bsky.social, & @remikalir.bsky.social — Many thanks, @amandalicastro.bsky.social & @humanitiestexas.bsky.social @nehgov.bsky.social !
This from @remikalir.bsky.social et al. looks like a fascinating project to share w/ local colleagues & (especially) my teacher ed students. (ALL undergrads are interested, for a host of intersecting reasons! But in teacher ed they seem "meta-aware" as they worry about impact of #AI on K-12.)

As visual summaries of primary sources, Google NotebookLM infographics are AI slop akin to ultraprocessed food manufactured in a lab to maximize consumption at the expense of nourishment. As a scholar and educator I’ll pass on this ultraprocessed facsimile of knowledge: remikalir.com/blog/noteboo...

Ok, I’ll bite: First take with the new NotebookLM infographic feature: Surprising? Sure. Slop? Yes. Biased and mostly useless? Definitely. First, context: I have a Notebook called “Remi’…
