Well, well, well. Isn't this interesting? Students must have realized that I was keeping tabs on pirated course material, so they uploaded to DIFFERENT school pages on #CourseHero.

In this case, #YorkU course material is on the #XUniversity page.

Clever little pirates. Course Hero pirated materia...
Both my students and #CourseHero routinely ignore the footnotes in my material which explicitly state that they are not to be distributed outside the course. Not for distribution outsid...
This is not an education issue. It's not a comprehension issue.

It's a violation of intellectual property -- theft -- issue.

I've covered my bases. I've told my students not to do this. Many of them do it anyway.
We have a duty to educate students about intellectual property. We're teachers.

DRM & IP lockdown = not accessible.

That's not good.

If institutions value EDI then they need to proactively deal with IP violations on Chegg, CH, etc.

The reality is that the pandemic will continue for the foreseeable future.

For public schools, colleges and universities: this means planning for 2022-23 being another pandemic year.

What does this mean? Well, if you want to do it right you need to...
1. Upgrade ventilation and air filtration in Summer 2022.

That's right. You'll need to spend money on infrastructure. It will take away from the pet projects that you were planning on as resumé-padders and legacy-makers.

HEPA in all classrooms, labs and eating areas.
2. Stockpile high-quality, N95-class respirators for all community members.

That's right. Spend tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars on a secured contract with PPE manufacturers. Small, medium and large masks. Enough for at least one per person per week. Maybe more.
