Interactive Framework Our interactive Framework diagram shows the SCQF levels of the qualifications offered by the SQA, and Scotland's colleges and universities.

Interesting...we have different levels in Scotland. Level 7 is generally first year in Higher Education (SCQF levels: scqf.org.uk/the-framewor...). Initially wondered if this was just a 6-7 reference 😀

Presenter by podium

It’s the farewell session of @icpla2025.bsky.social and @sharynnemcleod.bsky.social celebrates the entire #ICPLA2025 community, highlighting how we support each other in many ways (using @tricmc.bsky.social as an example 😄).

List of information about board games on PowerPoint

Great overview of board games with leaning, pedagogic and cognitive aims #ICPLA2025

Shout out to the power of cooperative games to help encourage connections as well as learning!

Research |

Athanasios mentions that there are many board games that can be adapted for so many different study areas. Makes me think of @egillaspy.bsky.social and @jimt77.bsky.social and their Playful Learning Tour Guide. Check it out #ICPLA2025 clok.uclan.ac.uk/id/eprint/50...

Keynote 4 @icpla2025.bsky.social - Athanasios Karasimos talking my language. Board games great to use in teaching as low-cost and easily adapted! #icpla2025

Found that consistency improves in children where there is no significant change in accuracy. Maybe consistency changes before accuracy? #ICPLA2025

Tricia asks - what if we look at consistency instead of accuracy in CAS?

Person in front of podium

Inconsistency in CAS is widespread in young children,
e.g. jaw unstable/wobbling during speech.

@tricmc.bsky.social warns us that there will be no stats analysis in her talk on speech variability in childhood apraxia of speech #ICPLA2025

😂 yes, sorry #ICPLA2027 attendees - we will also have sunsets, not until about 11pm though.

Great news - children enjoyed both articulation and ultrasound therapy 🤩. Though some children found it to be slightly boring 🙁 (note some have done this before).
