Recursion was never a big part of my toolbox but I am starting to appreciate it more recently. Regular readers know that I have been writing about and writing code for some older, simpler cryptography systems. For one of them I needed a list of letter in the alphabet without duplicating previous letters.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

If we humans aren’t giving away our personal information (as we do on FB, Tiktok, Instagram, Twitter and every other social media account), we’re having it stolen without our permission or knowledge and sold to those who mean us harm. As a teacher-author, this is a bigger deal than most because: we have copyrighted files that provide us an income. . we have a access to our income streams on our digital devices.

It should have been in Charleston, South Carolina (one of my favorite cities), but it will instead be all on-line. Unlike previous years, if you are not already registered, you’re unfortunately out of luck. As seen in Matthias Hauswirth’s terrific guest blog post from last week ( see here ), getting set up in Clowdr is complicated.
