General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: None required.

Overall: I couldn't access the first source but I could access the second. Looks good, the only minor concern I had was the site edsurge.com. It looked like it might not be a reliable source but it is operated by a professional education society (International Society for Technology in Education) and I have heard of them before so I know they're not some fly by night operation.

Given that we just had Template:Did you know nominations/Open Syllabus Project, I'm wondering if this isn't effectively two hooks on the same topic? -- RoySmith (talk) 19:02, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @RoySmith: The only reason how I found out about Hacker was after I wrote the Open Syllabus Project page. If you prefer, we can drop the "according to the Open Syllabus Project" attribution since I do not believe the above hooks are highly contested opinions. Thank you, Dr. Swag Lord (talk) 20:26, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- @RoySmith: I'd put in for the record that no one stopped me from running Joni Albrecht and Julie Schmit-Albin as separate hooks – I don't think we'd have a policy against something like this, although I would have admittedly preferred a double hook. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 23:10, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
