I'm an academic, I advocate for the significance of research on 'learning and technologies' in thinking about and tackling issues across a range of contexts, including formal education.

I've taught information and data literacy and critical thinking subjects.

My repos here are a combination of:

1. Open educational resources;
2. Forks, often for running for some specific purpose (i.e., they're not generally very interesting);
3. R packages or (euphemistically?) proto-packages relating to my work.

• Background: Researcher with background in psychology, philosophy, and education (particularly educational technologies), and issues relating to open knowledge (including open-source).
• Current Focus: Participatory AI governance, and the potential of learning about and with algorithms.
• 🛠️ Languages: R, (although I sometimes use Python, and have used a range of languages in static site builders).

• CREDS research group website
• DSI-collection: Uses the collection builder statisc site system to accept google for inputs and then present them in a 'gallery' static site, see also https://github.com/sjgknight/DSI_collection_sheets, and kb viewable live
• ethics-guidelines: static site initially used to display ethics guidelines, using tonic system here, viewable live

• Noisy sheets: Noisy sheets is an add-on that works in google spreadsheets, which allows users to: add noise to a dataset; share the unique datasets with a student cohort; and calculate function results for the students' versions of the data.
• Writing Analytics 'data carpentry' materials
• FlipAround book: This is a living document collaboratively authored by students in the Master of Data Science and Innovation course at the University of Technology Sydney

• learnr quizzes for data science for innovation: various 'learnr' interactive quizzes both original or/and forked from open-licensed materials
• DSI templates: Template Rmd documents for students in DSI to develop their assignment with
• tradeoffs: Start of building a boardgame structure around idea of 'tradeoffs' for use in AI ethics work

• BoxPlotR - a fork of an app for creating box plots in Shiny with R: modified to add additional statistical information, for use in my teaching
• rureporting: an r package for creating a report from multiple documents as both compiled PDF and bs4 website with doc-embeds

• projectR: Custom R package for automating R project creation using a template. Combines Value of Usethis and Similar Packages for useful Default Project Structure
• EA_scrapeR: Scripts to search the Fair Work enterprise agreement database and obtain agreements for analysis
• catalogueR: Proto R package, takes Zotero Data, outputs structured overviews of that data, such that Zotero can be used as a very cludgy tool for evidence synthesis procedures
• vignette_buildeR: R package to help you build factorial vignettes.

• Bibliometric analysis for a research group: Some scripts for bibliometric analysis (for CREDS, but modifiable for other groups).
