In conversation analysis, the term cooperative overlap refers to a face-to-face interaction in which one speaker talks at the same time as another speaker to demonstrate an interest in the conversation. In contrast, an interruptive overlap is a competitive strategy in which one of the speakers attempts to dominate the conversation. The term cooperative overlap was introduced by sociolinguist Deborah Tannen in her book Conversational Style: Analyzing Talk Among Friends (1984).
This is the story of the birth of the web, its loss of innocence, its decline, and what we can do to make it a bit less gross. Or if you prefer, this is the video in which I say the expression “barbecue sets” far too many times.

Turn interviews into shareable and embeddable interactive chats. InterviewJS is an open-source tool that takes journalists through the process of building a chat story: creating interviewee profiles and composing interactive messaging exchanges combining text, videos, maps, audio, charts or any other type of embeddable content. The result: mobile-friendly stories in the form of a web app where users engage with interviewees seemingly directly. These chat stories can be shared on social media or embedded on your website. This is the beta version of InterviewJS. It was funded by the Digital News Innovation Fund and developed by Al Jazeera.

I firmly believe the Internet, and what it stood for, peaked with RSS. RSS, or Really-Simple-Syndication, is (or was depending on your viewpoint) a means of allowing basically anything online to be collated into a single feed. You would visit the websites you loved, add their RSS feed to your preferred reader, and from then on be instantly notified of any new content, it was as simple as that. RSS primarily had its heyday during the Web 2.0 era (circa 1999-2010) when the freedom to do whatever you wanted with the information present on the Web was really the driving force behind a lot of new features and systems. This was of course before Social Media had taken off in the way we know it today and most of these concepts were siloed off into their own locked-down social-feeds. However it wasn't until I began working from home and everything in my life moved online that I really began to notice how beneficial RSS could be with relation to Digital Wellbeing. By selecting only the sites, blogs, creators etc. that I had a serious interest in, I could effectively remove the negative effects of social media and excessive online usage from my life. It was easier to get involved in serious Deep Work as I had no social feeds to endlessly scroll through. It was easier to stay informed as I could only see the latest items rather than being given an algorithmic infinite feed of supposedly “breaking news.” I could open my reader maybe twice a day, skim through the latest items and continue on with my work, a process that could be over and done with in under 5 minutes - a far cry from opening Twitter and suddenly 2 hours have passed… Another use-case I was surprised to develop was managing collaborative projects. An issue I've heard repeatedly from those working from home is that of being deafened by the ever-present, ever-ringing notification-bell as countless chat and collaboration apps incessantly vie for your attention with new questions, comments, and discussions that may-or-may-not need your already splintered focus. For me, RSS solved that issue. Instead of checking-in every 10 minutes to see if there's any new project developments, or sending chaser messages asking if a colleague finished up on that feature - I can just track everything with RSS. If anything comes up that I need to know about, RSS will be there to present it to me.
Tiny Tales Teaching Guide – Simple Book Publishing
For twenty years, I’ve taught mythology and folklore courses at the University of Oklahoma. My students read traditional myths and legends, and then they write their own stories inspired by the reading. When people retell old stories in new ways, you never know what will happen; no two stories ever turn out the same. There are an infinite number of possibilities, and the more stories you write, the more ideas you’ll come up with. In this book, I’ve collected some stories and storytelling ideas drawn from these collections: Tiny Tales from Aesop Tiny Tales from India Tiny Tales of Nasruddin These “Tiny Tales” books are available free online (epub, PDF, etc.), and they are Creative-Commons-licensed so you can create your own textbook; more about that below. You will find all three books in all the different formats here: 100Words.LauraGibbs.net For each story included in this Guide, I’ve suggested a storytelling idea based on changes to the plot or characters, or a change in style. These are just suggestions. There are always other possibilities… endless possibilities: there’s no limit to creativity. Because the stories are very short, there’s lots of room to expand. Each “tiny tale” is just 100 words long, so you might expand the story to 200 words, or 500, or 999. Perhaps 567 or maybe 234. The specific number isn’t important; the goal is just to have a length in mind so you can find your focus and know when to say the story is done.
During COVID-19, many higher education institutions adopted a mix of face-to-face and online delivery of courses and services—creating an opportunity for a more permanent shift to a hybrid university. This publication developed by Deloitte’s Center for Higher Education Excellence and Strada Education Network explores shifts across three key areas: academic affairs, student success, and the campus workforce.
What world—what worlds—will we build with artificial intelligence? Intended for policymakers, technologists, educators and others, this international collection of 19 short stories delves into AI’s cultural impacts with hesitation and wonder. Authors from Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, India, Rwanda, Sri Lanka, the United States, and elsewhere vividly recount the anticipated influences of AI on love, time, justice, identity, language, trust, and knowledge through the power of narrative. Deceptively simple in form, these original stories introduce and legitimate perspectives on AI spanning five continents. Individually and together, they open the reader to a deeper conversation about cultural responsiveness at a time of rapid, often unilateral technological change

The Paris Review - The Birth of the Semicolon - The Paris Review
The semicolon was born in Venice in 1494. It was meant to signify a pause of a length somewhere between that of the comma and that of the colon, and this heritage was reflected in its form, which combines half of each of those marks. It was born into a time period of writerly experimentation and invention, a time when there were no punctuation rules, and readers created and discarded novel punctuation marks regularly. Texts (both handwritten and printed) record the testing-out and tinkering-with of punctuation by the fifteenth-century literati known as the Italian humanists. The humanists put a premium on eloquence and excellence in writing, and they called for the study and retranscription of Greek and Roman classical texts as a way to effect a “cultural rebirth” after the gloomy Middle Ages. In the service of these two goals, humanists published new writing and revised, repunctuated, and reprinted classical texts.
Exposing.ai: Check if your photos were used in AI surveillance research projects
Check if your Flickr photos were used to build face recognition. Exposing.ai uses information from publicly available face and biometric analysis image datasets to provide you with the ability to determine if your Flickr photos were used in AI surveillance research projects. Currently Exposing.ai only provides results for Flickr photos that were found in biometric image training or testing datasets. In the future, this may expand to include other origins. The search engine checks if your photos were included in a dataset by referencing Flickr identifiers including username, NSID, or photo ID. Only if an exact match is found, the match results are displayed. No search data is shared or stored during this project. The Flickr

The Post-Pandemic Liberal Arts College: A Manifesto for Reinvention: Volk, Steve, Benedix, Beth: 9781948742849: Amazon.com: Books
(h/t Future Trends webinar) Private liberal arts colleges have been struggling for decades; now, as the COVID-19 pandemic widens cracks latent in many American institutions, they are facing a possibly mortal crisis. In The Post-Pandemic Liberal Arts College: A Manifesto for Reinvention, Steven Volk and Beth Benedix call for small colleges to seize this moment and reinvent themselves. With the rise of rankings that set peer institutions against each other, tuition that outpaces income, creeping pre-professionalism, and a race to build student “customers” the splashiest new amenities, many private liberal arts colleges have strayed from their founders’ missions. If they could shed the mantle of exclusivity, reduce costs, facilitate true social mobility, and collaborate with each other, the authors argue, they might both survive and again become just, equitable, accessible institutions able to offer the transformative and visionary education that is their hallmark.
Joan Ganz Cooney Center - Voices on the Future of Childhood
(h/t @dogtrax) As we hunker down and shelter ourselves in place to confront yet another day of what we hope is a temporary situation, we can’t help but wonder about the future. What will life be like afterwards? What will return to normal and what will be forever changed as a result of the pandemic? And what will the future hold for our children? We invited a handful of the Cooney Center’s most trusted advisors to lay out their “aspirational but achievable” (to borrow a phrase from Alan Gershenfeld) visions of the future of childhood and to offer the field some immediate directives to help us get there. The individuals we’ve assembled for this feature, which will roll out over the coming weeks and months, hail from universities, hospitals, media production companies, educational nonprofits, high tech, and public media, with other sectors to come.
Unprecedented school closures? Not entirely | Stanford Graduate School of Education
(h/t @ambergently) The scale of today’s school closures due to COVID-19 may go beyond anything the world has seen before. But about 100 years ago, schools grappled with similar circumstances brought on by the spread of polio, a highly contagious disease especially dangerous for young children. On this episode of School’s In, Michael Hines, a historian of education and assistant professor at Stanford Graduate School of Education (GSE), joins GSE Dean Dan Schwartz and Senior Lecturer Denise Pope to talk about a 1930s experiment in remote teaching and some of the lessons from the experience that educators might find relevant today.
School Surveillance and COVID-19 - Center for Democracy and Technology
As the coronavirus pandemic continues, schools are employing technology to help protect students who are learning in-person. That technology might screen for coronavirus symptoms at particular places or times, continuously monitor students’ location or health, or share data with local health departments. Each strategy requires measures to protect student privacy.
