Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This Winter issue brings you 12 articles, with contributions by authors from across the UK, Canada, Greece, the Netherlands, and Norway. The articles cover a range of topics – from students’ sense of belonging to artist-teacher identity, student evaluations of teaching, registered reports, competencies required for science communication graduates, ways that staff can support student neurodivergence and mental health, and implications of open educational resources (OERs) and artificial intelligence for higher education. A strong theme recurring in this issue is online learning, and how educators have evolved their practice post-pandemic, with a view to using learning technologies in transformative ways to engage learners and support relationship building and inclusion, as well as building capability within the institution and wider tertiary education sector.

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.

Teacher imitation

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.
