(2 of 2)Moving forward, we'll post directly to Mastodon, using all of the platforms networking tools, hashtags, account links, etc.Then we'll take a screenshot of the complete #Mastodon post and attach it to a corresponding #Twitter post, with an invitation to learn more about the topic under discussion--and other #OpenSource #EdTech in #HigherEd--on #Apereo's Mastodon account. We hope this will keep our Twitter followers up-to-date, while encouraging our community to join us on Mastodon.

@eloquence Thanks Eric, this is a great feedback. It is a lot of work, and we would rather spend our limited resources building our Mastodon and Linkedin community than chancing Twitter. TBH, our Apereo Twitter account isn't huge, and it's probably more valuable for us to build on Mastodon than chase Twitter. That side, considering the total number of followers on all of Apereo's project accounts, we're hoping to serve as an example and offer an approach.Thanks again for helping us help.

#OSS in #HigherEdSpace3D creates lifelike soundscapes in extended reality. If an ambulance drives past a person in VR, the visitor should hear the siren in relative directions grow louder as the vehicle approaches, and quieter as it retreats. Pure Data, an #OpenSource visual programming language, was used to digitally recreate physical setups, Operators could easily change manipulate variables to affect how audience members perceived incoming sound.#EdTechhttps://today.ucsd.edu/story/qi-internship-trains-students-for-careers-in-the-sonic-arts

#OSS in #HigherEd "….thinking about affordable, low-cost, or open source textbooks serves similar goals of accessibility and inclusivity as, for instance, diversifying the syllabus and reading materials, and designing assignments that cater to neurodivergent students, etc.”"Including #OpenSource software will extend these benefits; democratizing #HigherEducation and making it more accessible and inclusive,#EdTech #EDUCAUSE #OER #OpenContent #OpenTextbooks https://cnu.edu/news/2023/12/18-cnu-affordable-textbook-options/
