    "Join A/Prof. Chie Adachi (Director, Digital Learning), A/Prof. Marcus O'Donnell (Director, Cloud Learning Futures), Dr Jo Elliott (Lecturer, Digital Learning Innovation) and Joan Sutherland (Senior Educational Developer) as they capture, share and celebrate the stories of teaching staff who share their personal experiences and provide insights into what is needed to innovate in the digital learning space. These insights into what they have learnt along the way, what has worked, and what they are doing to further enhance the teaching and learning experience at Deakin can influence your teaching practice. Topics range from the power of social media during COVID-19 through to facilitating connection through digital polling in the online space. "

Should You Buy a New Mac Right Now or Wait for ARM? - 1 views

  • the transition to ARM to take at least two years to complete
  • We know Apple plans to release a 13-inch MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro with the new chips in the coming months, but other ARM Macs won’t show up until 2021
  • AppleInsider advises that third-party MacOS app might not work as well (or at all) on ARM Macs — at least at first.

  • Apple has a good track record of supporting older products well after launch, so its Intel Macs will absolutely remain relevant even after Apple has fully shifted to ARM.

Apple is Moving to ARM Processors. Should Filmmakers Go With Them? - 0 views

  • But if you work largely in Premiere or Resolve, it's a trickier conversation. Adobe and Blackmagic Design will obviously roll out ARM versions of their software the same way there are currently for Intel, Mac, and Linux versions, and a lot of the benefits of moving to ARM will still play out there. But you do run the risk of some of your favorite plugins, or small workflow apps, not immediately working.
  • The issue with Rosetta is that it will inevitably slow things down, since it is setting up a layer of interpretation between the application and the system architecture, and that takes time to process.
  • Apple will also allow you to keep using those older applications using a tool called Rosetta 2, calling back to the original Rosetta which did the same job for the PowerPC-to-x86 switch.

  • Developers will work to get their software ready for ARM Macs, and for those that don't, new replacements will appear that might not have otherwise. This is a moment for refreshing workflows, and you will likely discover that you get introduced to a whole host of new tools through the transition.
  • Because the architecture is different, the software running on it needs to be optimized for it, which has slowed down adoption so far outside of the mobile space. While Microsoft did release a version of Windows for ARM years ago, it didn't take off, and this move from Apple to put macOS on ARM is a massive transition for the computing industry.
  • Apple says the first ARM Macs, a 13" MacBook Pro and a 24" iMac, will ship this fall and the transition will take 2 years. That means we are looking at the very real possibility of an ARM Mac Pro by 2022.
