Take Daka off at half time: suddenly, we attack, we are positive, and we score. Learn, managers, learn! #lcfc

Daka starting tonight for lcfc again. So we'll get nothing from the game again. When will these managers learn?

I'm contemplating not going to watch #lcfc again until we have a manager who doesn't play Daka. He is a -1 player. No skills, and stops any chance we have of scoring

For the LLE to work we need to get serious about student identifiers There's some important data plumbing that needs to be done to make the Lifelong Loan Entitlement work. David Kernohan is your man with an adjustable spanner.

I'm sad to say the ID card conversation is kicking off again. This from a few years ago is still one of my favourite Wonkhe articles.

Hey all! I'm looking for an expert on community building and management who can provide me with some consultancy. Paid.

I'm specifically looking for someone with the know-how to grow a community for narrative thriller/horror game titles.

As a previous recipient of a BA small grant, I'd encourage eligible people to apply. It's possible to get a lot of research value in <ยฃ10K. (In my case experimentation with different digital skills pedagogy through hosting a number of open workshops, which influenced a bunch of publications.)
