In-line with the recent Teams outage, I believe more work has to be done in the area of decentralised communicaiton. Business can't afford dependency on a single tool/product and decentralisation is key to ensure no damage is made in case of future outage of any key product/tool. If you're carry out research that tackle this issue, please share your thoughts here
How do researchers demonstrate understanding of the nexus between teaching and learning, research and scholarship? What are the examples of such demonstration from students and researchers perspectives?
