Has anyone done good science about the use of cameras in video calls that teases out policies that actually promote communication? I am trying to drive policy in ways that are humane and also effective. #askfedi #behavioralscience #remotework

👀 On our radar: Get curious!

💬 “Curiosity can disappear just when we need it most. In fact, some research suggests questions can serve as an antidote to the anxiety that can arise in times of great uncertainty.”

Question are there any cognitive computational pedagogy specialists,scientists, teachers out there I have a few questions?

I’m trying to research and do an analysis on learning and behavior, and break it down computationally with diversity models of out groups in group mixing within organisms starting out with humans and or other organisms life forms.

Please and thank you,
