Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Increasingly over the past decade, online learning has received growing attention in the academy. This paper describes the experiences of two instructors at the same institution with the teaching of writing online: one using hybrid (blended) instruction to “flip” the classroom to teach a service course on technical writing to Engineering students with low TOEFL scores; the other is an asynchronously online undergraduate elective course intended for majors in Education and other Social Sciences who might be considering careers in training, employee communication, technical communication, and related fields.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
