The digital transformation of higher #education … for better and for worse
Neil Selwyn @neil_selwyn has an interview with Cathrine Tømte (University of Agder) where they talk about the impacts of #digitisation on #Norwegian #universities, For me it is a reminder that the path of these things is not inevitable and is the result of a sequence of decisions.
New topic! "Files digitised by the National Archives of Australia in 2024" was added to the Collection News category by zotero-bot. https://ozglam.chat/t/2060 #digitisation #nationalArchivesAustralia
In this video, musician/producer/mixer/composer Billy Hume shares his insights into how digitisation has transformed the process of recording music and thereby changed the product, the art: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zq4BOSaKiYo Can we transfer his insights to the digital transformation and the cultural change of science?

New blog post for #fileformatfriday - #PDF Quality assessment for #digitisation batches with #Python, #PyMuPDF and #Pillow. This introduces the new #Pdfquad tool, which might be useful for others as well:
On the plus side, I used this experience to add an example to the Four of Porosity card in my "Digital Benefits and Disbenefits Cornucopia" deck https://www.digitalbenefits.uk/deck/porosity/4

Among the #GreekManuscripts at the Royal Library of the Monastery of Saint Lawrence of El Escorial (= RBME) there are two #ArmenianManuscripts. The #digitisation of one of them is already available online at the #RBMEDigital under the section "Manuscritos armenios": https://rbme.patrimonionacional.es/s/rbme/item?item_set_id=16564
The problem with most of what #darzi proposes is that it is eminently sensible but profoundly unexciting - and offers little opportunity for #grift . #publichealth and #preventative measures work well but do not attract support from influential people - unlike #digitisation which tis seen as a 'magic bullet' and has been so for at least a quarter of a century ! The temptation will be to throw effort and money into #digitisation and pay lip service at best to the other stuff.
Earlier this year, 24 professionals with varied skillsets, perspectives & end-use goals for #digitized #fossil #collections data joined at University of Colorado Boulder for a workshop, as part of a project funded by @NSF's #Geosciences #OpenScience #Ecosystem program.

The @EUCommission wants European enterprises to waste more ressources on #BigData, #cloud, and #AI. Because of #digitisation. "In 2023, the uptake of AI, cloud and/or big data by European companies was also well below the Digital Decade target of 75%. Under current trends, only 64% of businesses will use cloud, 50% big data and only 17% AI by 2030." Maybe for a reason? https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/IP_24_3602
