    A thread in which I describe the journey home to Melbourne from Edmonton. I have experienced border lockdowns before. I was trapped in Nicaragua in the mid-1980s when neighboring nations closed their borders to an international peace march. This is just a little re-triggering.

    A sixty billion dollar accounting error could fully fund the Australian arts and cultural industries at 2019 levels, PLUS cover all the shortfall tertiary institutions are forecasting and still have nearly fifty billion dollars leftover.

    I just found my notes from when I was doing my masters and watched a Richard Florida keynote in 2003.

    With COVID-19, many archivists are going to be thrown into processing large volumes of traumatic material for the first time in their careers. I rely on structuring my workflow as a first step towards minimizing vicarious trauma.

    This thread super interesting about innovative online learning lost in time

    Ha! Somebody today sent me a query that only the Wayback Machine could solve. More than 20 years ago Adrian Miles and I created an online cinema studies platform (I guess we would now call it a kind of open LMS) that combined web essays with a shared annotated bibliography.

    In any event, I guess the things that arises most prominently for me in a post-COVID education environment is what we lost. By not enabling students to experience the ways in which knowledge (and learning) is relational and that those relations can be inclusive of them...

    Cool. Big challenge in students doing community engaged learning is to have them pick up projects from previous cohorts. Not as sexy as designing from scratch.

    I always felt that I was somehow a liability to its success and sustainability. And then there was an overwhelming resistance from the discipline of Cinema Studies which was slow to take up the kinds of inroads seen elsewhere in the digital humanities:

    to what happened to women (especially women from the arts/social sciences) engaging in tech innovation in universities at the time. For example Adrian rightly received commendations and salary increments for his work on bonza - and yet as project lead I received none and

    I'm sure I can't cover all the reasons but they range from university procurement policies favouring "one size fits all" learning management systems which themselves reiterate the idea that universities simply exist to ensure students digest standardized, repeatable knowledge...

    So how do we end up here - with so few resources for genuine online learning precisely when we most need them? In other words what happened to bonza to prevent its uptake as an alternative option for learning in Cinema Studies (and other aligned disciplines)?

    And that their learning and knowledge had a public value and wasn't just a private preserve. And if you have any qualms about this yourself - just check out the long references list for the obscure actor Helen Twelvetrees compiled by this undergrad:

    And an experiment in creating an infrastructure that viewed student knowledge as cumulative - each successive student cohort building on and referring to the knowledge produced by previous classes as well as their peers - rather than repeating exercises in a vaccuum.

    It is so interesting to look at this initiative in the context of "remote learning" right now. Bonza was not about moving face-to-face practices online. It was an attempt to show e.g. how online essay writing was a unique opportunity for film students to use audio-visual"quotes"
