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

The EAST framework, developed by UK behavioural scientists in 2014, distils over a decade of behavioural science into four simple, actionable principles for changing behaviour effectively. It originated from a government initiative to improve public programs by applying psychological insights.
On our radar: Get curious!

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,
