Speak your truth quietly and clearly and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant, they too have their story.  Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.  Never compare yourself with others, you may…

Shut up and Listen if you want deep learning: Andrew Stevenson

JOHN HATTIE has spent his life studying the studies to find out what works in education. His advice to teachers? Just shut up.

Professor Hattie, appointed this year as the director of the Melbourne Education Research Institute at the University of Melbourne, says teachers need to stop spending 80 per cent of their time in class talking and start listening.

''When teachers stop talking deep learning takes place,'' he told a conference of educators at Parramatta…

What is the Technological Singularity? : Joel Falconer

Moore’s Law has been around for 46 years. It’s a descriptor for the trend we’ve seen in the development of computer hardware for decades, with no sign of slowing down, where the number of transistors that can be placed on an integrated circuit doubles every two years.



The law is named after Gordon Moore, who described this pattern in 1965. He would know a thing or two about integrated circuits. He co-founded Intel in 1968.



Moore has said in recent years that there’s about…

Reform the PhD system or close it down! : Mark Taylor

There are too many doctoral programs, producing too many PhDs for the job market. Shut some and change the rest, says Mark C. Taylor.



The system of PhD education in the United States and many other countries is broken and unsustainable, and needs to be re-conceived. In many fields, it creates only a cruel fantasy of future employment that promotes the self-interest of faculty members at the expense of students. The reality is that there are very few jobs for people who… Continue
