@DCComm Sure, dept chairs will get a survey about DH. A RAG would also make for a great digital dana project for an interested student. We can help.

@bryantt Thanks, Todd! I’ll check it out.

Digital classicists: what would you say are some of the best scholarly questions in classics that require the use of data? We have a thriving data analytics program on our campus and have the opportunity create a classics track in that major.

@DCComm Possibly, AI can use what's called a "RAG", basically telling the model you want to use a given text corpus to answer a question. I did a simple small experiment-scroll to bottom section about Elise. blogs.dickinson.edu/academic-techn… For larger example, Blockie bit.ly/3Ijfb2Q

Can digitized corpora of Latin be used to detect classical allusions in untranslated Neo-Latin texts?

@catmansionmura Like professional wrestling!

ここ数日で、急激に大きく、力強くなった気がする。めっちゃ動くしめっちゃ元気。ここまで来るともう死なないなと安心します。

@BryanAlexander Respect the persistence.

My friend added that I'm the only person he's tried that on who hasn't threatened him afterwards.

A friend just called, a few minutes ago. "Atchoo!" he said, then hung up. Huh, I thought. Odd. Pocket dialing? He immediately called back. "Did you get it?" "Er, no." "It was a cold call!" #sundayvibes

@hopfka @ybika @BryanAlexander @gu_ldt Thank you, and once you do, will there be a link here to get it? gamelab.mit.edu/games/

@ybika @BryanAlexander @bryantt @gu_ldt We currently only have 5 high-fidelity prototypes. We will make a limited print release as soon as we can get more copies printed for a reasonable prize.

Like Wordle? You can (cloned versions) in different languages. blog.duolingo.com/wordle-in-othe…

Anyone know of a good ESL open textbook for beginners? Ideally, it would have activities where students fill in a table after asking their partner questions typical in foreign language textbooks. Closest I've found so far, pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/pdxopen/18/

@DCComm @scsclassics Have you seen the Reacting to the Past games? reacting.barnard.edu/games

Is anyone here teaching a classically-based course on public speaking? Giving a lightning talk on this topic at @scsclassics in January. I feel like it's an emerging trend, would love to have more syllabi to compare, approaches to discuss. Thank you for any leads!

@BryanAlexander As a survey? Moodle has "Feedback" if want it to be anonymous. Imagine other LMSs have something similar.

Does any software currently support this? #FTTE

Instructor wants to start class by learning her students' geographical locations + tech preferences, so she can redesign class accordingly. #FTTE

If you're a native English speaker over 18 and want to practice Spanish with a native speakers as part of a structured course, or the reverse (native Spanish looking for English) try this free online course from the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya mooc.speakapps.org

@BryanAlexander @Pinboard :) thx. I've seen a ton of the animated bar charts on youtube, so searched there. I'd start there in the future if you're looking for the same format and different data.

@bryantt @Pinboard THAT IS IT! How did you find this, my brilliant friend?

Question: does anyone recall a clever visualization of different nations rolling out highspeed rail over time? It's animated, covers roughly 1970-2020, and I just can't find the blasted thing.

@BryanAlexander @Pinboard youtube.com/watch?v=zkMnxJ…

I distinctly remember promising to save the link to @Pinboard and Diigo and then forgetting to, like an idiot.

@BryanAlexander @Pinboard Was it just a bunch of animated bars (one bar per country over time) or something fancy like on a map?

@landisb Before you retire it, you need to find out what building that is and why a turkey is sitting on it. Thx.

@BryanAlexander Blippar? blippar.com

Question: best AR tools for faculty and staff that don't use coding? A: Blippr. Adobe Aero. #FTTE

@tomarnoldPA @BryanAlexander

This is pretty huge

@annieswafford The Civilization series comes with a WorldBuilder, but likely overkill if you don't already play it. google.com/search?q=civ+6…
