I find the online Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy quite helpful -- clear introductions, and well-structured entries that allow you to dig deeper but also skip over stuff that's more detailed than you need.
Same here (though we usually had fair warning). 2020/2021 we had staff leaving mid-semester, though...
Plus, in let us say, 'some institutions' I am familiar with, the current full-time model doesn't add up. 600 hours of teaching, study, and assessment, for 60 credits, spread over.... 12 weeks. Is anyone actually bothering to do the math?
Read that and it led me to this: wonkhe.com/wonk-corner/... So much this. But we seem to be heading in the opposite direction: less student choice, less flexibility.
So far there’s basically no evidence that there’s any demand for “single module” provision via the Lifelong Learning Entitlement.

Also: is he knowingly conflating the credential with the education that leads to it, or just betraying his complete lack of interest in what actually constitutes a British degree?
Frequently the metadata supplied by the publishers is so bad that library catalogues render all sorts of basic details wrong: author, title, year of publication. Publishers just don't seem to care about readers -- and why should they, if they've already sold their product in bulk to the libraries?
But, seriously, I just think we should stop collaborating with the enshittifiers. I can't cite everything relevant ever, so I'll make some choices.
I am enjoying the ambiguity in your statement, because an upstream decision some years ago means we are forced to attempt to teach our students MHRA referencing...
Academic e-books without page numbers... another form of enshittification. Fortunately, this text is to hand in hard copy in the library, but if not then I guess I just wouldn't use or cite it... Way to go publishers!
I'll admit I was wrong about generative AI. It does have more than one use case. As well as theft, it can be used for disinformation.
