    1. I don’t think that using generative AI is conducive to learning as I understand the phenomenon

      Agreed for the most part, except for maybe helping a non-native writer with their writing. If it explained to them why it changed their writing, maybe that would be a legitimate learning experience? A colleague has built this to attempt to do that: Revision and Edit Virtual Assistant.

    2. without disclosing it

      I recently came across the following, which I really like: The Artificial Intelligence Disclosure (AID) Framework.

      IF you decided there were one or two situations where students were allowed to use generative AI, maybe they'd be comfortable using something like this to "admit" and disclose the use of a tool to, for instance, improve the writing of a non-native English writer?

    1. Solution 7 – Press the Esc key Many users reported that they managed to solve left mouse button drag problems simply by pressing the Esc key. This is an unusual solution, but it works according to users. If your mouse won’t drag, simply press the Esc key and the problem should be resolved. Several users reported that this solution solved the problem for them, so be sure to try it out.

      Well that was weird, but this worked for me!

    1. 9. Does Editors Canada have a code of ethics? No. Editors Canada does not have a code of ethics, but it has adopted general principles of professional editing. You can download Professional Editorial Standards from  Editors Canada for a list of these principles.

      Not having a code of ethics seems to be a big miss!

    1. Instead precise quotation should be realized in the following way. If author A wants to specifically cite a particular piece of author B’s work, then A must quote a minimum five or six word phrase in their main text that is distinctive to the passage being cited. A reader following the digital trail then clicks on A’s URL link to B’s text, crosses to it and from the top of B’s text uses Ctrl+F plus the quote text to find the exact passage involved.10. In practice this means that we must completely abandon the familiar but vague style of reference where an author summarizes and cites a text, without specifically quoting from it. Without page numbers we can only cite like this:‘Shifting functions from the government sector to off-budget bodies has been a core element in new public management (NPM) approaches (Dunleavy and Margetts, 2013)’.But we achieve precision by instead including a findable and distinctive short quote:‘Margetts and Dunleavy (2013) consider “externalizing services from the government sector to off-budget bodies” as a core element in new public management (NPM) approaches’.

      Woah, meta! Hypothesis can fix this problem perfectly! :-)
