Open Education snapshot at #UBC - in the last academic year, UBC students saved ~$2M by faculty using open texts and other t&l resources. Thanks to @infology and others for pulling all this data together! open.ubc.ca/2020-open-ubc-sn…
#UBC is the only institution to ‘do a double’ this year; there are a maximum of only 10 Fellows elected each year from Colleges and Universities across Canada. And it is the 3rd time in the last 7 years 2 UBC faculty have gained NTFs in the same year.
Congratulations to all 2020 3M National Teaching Fellows, but especially to our 2 #UBC colleagues @paulcubbon (Sauder) and Tiffany Potter (English). So richly deserved for both of them! macleans.ca/education/introd…
This is so great to see. In my intro phys class this week, it is a consolidation week: no lectures and no new material. Time for students to catch up and catch breath. One student is doing a pop up review class for his peers in the lecture hall slot (and doing a great job at it)

Today I was delighted to learn that my #googlehome mini volume goes up to 11. Then devastated to find it has been **35 years** since I first heard that phrase…. HOW DID THAT HAPPEN??
The twitter world needs to hear about the course registration updates @marktmaclean posts on Reddit. My current favourite (in a long list) ‘no spaces in <course> unless the instructor can figure out how to make the superposition principle work on students.’
Damn, @aaron_lucs is engaging in multiple languages. Great presentation about teaching as performance @LUexcellence
