This image is a four-panel collage. The top left panel shows two individuals in a classroom setting wearing a full white beekeeper suit with a netted hood, seated at a desk. The top right panel shows a close-up of hands working on a crochet project at a wooden table. There's a ball of burgundy yarn and a small red crochet hook, with some pink yarn strands. On the table are three completed knitted or crocheted items: a light blue figure with intertwining loops, an orange octopus with visible eyes and tentacles, and a green and yellow striped lizard-like creature. The bottom left panel depicts two individuals at a light wooden table engaging in a technical drawing activity using rulers, pencils and graph paper. The bottom right panel displays a word cloud with various adjectives. The most prominent words, in larger font sizes, are "relevant," "friendly," "informative," "enjoyable," and "useful."

Wrapping up the final Award in Education and Training for this academic year with 3 brilliant microteaching sessions on Beekeeping Safely, Technical Drawing and Beginners' Crochet.

It features a pop-up welcome message at the top, a search bar, and three clickable icons representing different categories of information: UN Goals, Population, and Refugees.

Page from Ethan Mollick's 'Co-intelligence' available from: https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/460207/co-intelligence-by-mollick-ethan/9780753560778 Photo is a close-up photo of a page that discusses the concept of the need for us to be the "human-in-the-loop" for AI systems. It highlights the human role in checking AI for hallucinations and biases, providing critical thinking and ethical considerations. The text emphasizes the benefits of this collaboration, including better results, skill maintenance, and fostering responsibility. It also suggests that being involved with AI development can provide insights into its progress and potential changes. The book's ISBN is visible as 978-1-912279-52-9, and the word "better" is visible at the top left corner.
