The NNGroup has what I think is a good article on writing Alt-text including the alt-text decision tree > www.nngroup.com/articles/wri...
Alt Text: What to Write
Images are decorative, functional, or informative. Skip alt text for decorative. Describe the action for functional. Convey the message for informative.

One way to improve your assessments is to convert traditional multiple choice questions into mini-scenarios. 🧵

Process:
1. Align to the objective
2. Find the real-world use
3. Set the scene to provide context for decision-making
4. List alternatives: One correct answer plus two distractors

In recent weeks, we've seen a wave of AI-generated images of white, blonde families presented by neo-fascist online accounts as models of a desirable future. As disgusting as this is, it seems no coincidence that AI is being used for reactionary propaganda

Das mit der iPhone-Sicherheitslücke hat vor dem #37c3 als spannende Recherche gestartet. Aber dass die Vorwürfe, Apple habe eine Hintertür für die NSA eingebaut, noch wachsen, hätte ich nicht gedacht. Alles was ihr wissen müsst (war nicht einfach, das ist komplex - aber wahnsinnig interessant!):
Spionage übers iPhone: Vermutlich Schludrigkeit. Vielleicht auch eine Hintertür für die NSA
Hacker konnten iPhone-Mikros anzapfen, sie nutzten Lücken im Betriebssystem. Technische Details erwecken den Verdacht: Apple könnte gewusst haben, dass das möglich war.

Dr. Martin Pusch vom Leibniz-Institut für Gewässerökologie erklärt sehr schön wie Fluss-Auen und Moore gegen Hochwasser 🌊 schützen würden - wenn man sie nicht ausgedeicht und trockengelegt hätte.

Unsere Flüsse brauchen mehr Platz - nur wie?
Einst waren die Auen ein natürlicher Hochwasserschutz, und sie könnten es wieder werden. Ein Gespräch mit Martin Pusch vom Leibniz-Institut für Gewässerökologie und Binnenfischerei.

New paper: of 5000 PhDs awarded at large Dutch uni, men were about twice as likely to receive a cum laude degree even if they had same supervisor. Difference most severe with all male PhD committees & reduces with more female members.

Der Frame "Klimakleber" müsste richtigerweise für die Menschen verwendet werden, die an einer scheinbar alternativlosen Politik kleben, die kein ernsthaftes Angehen der Probleme verfolgt, die zur Klimakrise führen.

Attempt to modernize a vocational school from within. Apprentices and university students learn together. A teacher organised local straw, lecturers, participants. This is how change works at the moment. Slow. Institutionalize. Make it permanent. Gett off the brake.
