For those of you who dont do duolingo: you get a badge each month if you complete 50 "daily quests".

You can complete up to 3 quests a day.

Today, the 14th of the month, I (and many others, it seems) achieved that.

Duolingo is also nagging me to do its maths course.

I completed the January challenge faster than 95.5% of all learners on Duolingo!

Hmm, sometimes I resent that the colour coding on #PastPuzzle means that I don't need any more clues.

(Alt text: the first attempt at the date shows I got the century right but the decade and year are the right digits in the wrong place: I just need to swap them)

Here's a blog post by @lornamcampbell on the Draft UNESCO Dubai Declaration on OER.

Nice to see semantic metadata and verifiable credentials in there.

Odd to see the declaration start with a commitment to sustainable development goals and respect the intellectual property rights and then give uncritical recommendations for Block Chain and AI.
