106 new students at my introductory class, and not one of them brought a laptop or a tablet. All mobile phones. Going to have to rethink how I author my class content :(

the ai generated art actually used by real symphony orchestras in their marketing will never cease to blow my mind (cropped to protect the guilty)

Ai generated image of an orchestra. There is a man with no legs on the podium playing a violin. The string players have ridiculously long bows and there’s a guy playing a horn that has like ten spirals

Two decisions I made that I think will help. Firstly, the handbook is standalone, *not* embedded as part of our VLE. Secondly – and I had to win this argument – it is publicly facing to the whole internet, no log on needed. (Oh, and it works great on mobile!)
