While Trump and Musk move America back to a time that was never great, the rest of the world is moving forward in fields like technology, medicine, education, arts and building new economic partnerships that exclude the U.S where possible.

Wisdom in Space

Science is more than a body of knowledge, it's a way of thinking, a way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan — political or religious — who comes ambling along. The people have to be educated, and they have to practice their skepticism and their education otherwise we don't run the government, the government runs us.
-- Carl Sagan

#Moodle 5.0 includes a feature described as
“New #quiz attempt states and asynchronous attempt creatio”
You can read the ticket here

tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-

In that ticket it says

“Doing this should help greatly smooth out the two biggest peaks in server load when students are making simultaneous quiz attempts.”

I believe this will allow large scale quizzes to run with less hardware and uncertainty.

Screenshot of the text shown during an upgrade to Moodle 5.0 (beta) for the new Pre-create quiz steps. Pre-create period quiz | precreateperiod Do not pre-create attempts Default: Do not pre-create attempts The period ahead of the quiz open time that attempts will be pre-created. Attempts are generated by a scheduled task (mod_quiz\task\precreate_attempts) running each hour by default. Since quizzes cannot be edited once they have attempts, it is best to keep this period as short as possible. If you tend to have one quiz or set of quizzes starting at once time, a short period like 1 hour is sensible. If you have several starting at different times through the day, and wish all pre-creation to happen when the system is quiet such as overnight, you may which to set this to a longer period such as 12 hours and adjust the scheduled task to run during quieter hours. This setting is controlled at site-level, it cannot be overridden by individual quizzes. Initial number of overall feedback fields quiz | initialnumfeedbacks 2 Default: 2 When creating a new quiz, provide this many blank overall feedback boxes. Once the quiz has been created, the form shows the number of fields required for the number of feedbacks in the quiz. The setting must be at least 1.

🔴 **The Average College Student Is Illiterate**

Hilarius Bookbinder

“_I’m not saying our students just prefer genre books or graphic novels or whatever. No, our average graduate literally could not read a serious adult novel cover-to-cover and understand what they read. They just couldn’t do it. They don’t have the desire to try, the vocabulary to grasp what they read, and most certainly not the attention span to finish._”

At a time when U.S. students are falling further behind in reading, volunteers in West Virginia are on a mission to reengage them. They are among those modeling the idea that building strong readers requires community, and a cultural shift. #education #reading #children
