Can’t wait!!!

I think academia is a natural place for some of us to be - spend time researching something interesting and get paid for it? We’re in.

I absolutely see what you mean. But I've also seen people pedalling e-bikes, people who might not otherwise use bikes for transport, going further than they would if it were only up to their own legs. Does the analogy hold if we say that the best outcome is effort + tech going furthest of all?

I did go to an excellent conference in Auckland, but it was mainly so I could take Sam home.

just shared screen to present at MOBTS and someone wanted to know how my computer ran anything with all that opened. M1 chip, I think. But 500 tabs! Goals.

Beyond the physical/virtual: connected learning spaces in postgraduate business education In response to the rapidly changing realities of higher education, educators need to reconceptualise how they think about learning spaces. This paper examines how the concept of connected learning ...

I’m enjoying the mushroom photos Bluesky is randomly serving me, so here is one I took this morning in Lane Cove National Park

#LTHEchat A6 I see they still don't have an edit button.

embed it with other forms of learning as part of a larger piece. For instance the 5E model of science teaching, the first two - engage and explore should be play. The Explain phase (3) shows how successful that has been and allows a reset before the Elaborate and finally the Evaluate phase.

Team building idea: work buys Lego Barad Dur and members of the team pop by my office from time to time over the next three months to watch me build it. I think it would bring us together.

AI not yet at the stage where I can just input 'I did this excellent and cool thing, please can I come to your conference' and have it spit out a lovely abstract.

I'm thinking that the LinkedIn 'you appeared in these searches' notification seems to be a bit of an illustration of how rubbish the search function must be. What possible interest could the Colorado Ski Patrol have in me?

'why can't you just use Teams? Oh that's right, we completely borked the install so you can't use it at all for teaching...'

And thanks to you for kicking off our project!

our big challenge is reigniting that in students who usually had it squashed out of them years ago.

Interactive orals are coming for you, check out our paper that just won best concise paper at #ascilite2024. None of my co-authors are on bluesky (yet), but they are Adrian Norman, Stephanie Wilson and Jo Nash. We've got a bunch more data, look out. publications.ascilite.org/index.php/AP...

Developing evaluative judgement for a time of generative artificial intelligence Generative artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly increased capacity for producing textual, visual and auditory outputs, yet there are ongoing concerns regarding the quality of those outputs. The...

I'll be referring to this one a lot, from the usual suspects.

It was a great app. A year ago I started sadly moving everything over to OneNote, which is not nearly as cool but at least I can access it from all my devices and it doesn't do that weird loading thing that Evernote started to do.

can't believe the ASCILITE I miss is the one she's at. Serious MO (FOMO without the FO).

she is a very hilarious person.

It could be such a good model. 3rd space experts have a wide gaze too, so could be instrumental in bringing together educators with similar practice. And it should be built on purpose.

There's nothing wrong with them, they're beautiful. But some of them have such dramatic walls that you're not sure if you're stepping into a lift or a portal into another dimension.

@elainehuber.bsky.social walked the talk, when she ran our team academics and professional staff always collaborated and were encouraged to bring their whole selves to the work. We were more than our roles. Trying hard to keep it going now that her time with us is finished.

It is a weird building, isn’t it. And then there’s the lifts.

I got flagged for suspicious scanning at the supermarket today and got the video replay (cleared!). You can’t tell me students aren’t stressed by getting flagged by proctoring or other checking software.

I think I might have just used the word 'ontological' in a sentence correctly for the very first time ever.

I’m at the Indigenous Higher Education Curriculum Conference and I’ve been introduced to making raffia circles and now I can’t stop.

1) the unexpectedly rich learning data in student weekly reflections
2) why the copilot generated owls I put in our morning teams chat strike such a chord with people

has nobody seen Kingsman 2. He swashed that buckle so hard.
