Only if a third person replies to ask to be removed from the reply all thread 😂 life pro tip - Outlook email recall doesn't work for Jisc mail lists. I will be checking all my emails very carefully for weeks

Clearly in need of a bit of down-time... nothing like accidentally replying all to a large mailing list rather than directing your email to your team like you intended. Totally embarrassing 😖

Yay! So great to be part of the series 😁

Digital capabilities panel (featuring @julievoce.bsky.social and others) thinking through how we can support students to succeed through and beyond university #THEdigitalUK

Excellent point from @jacpotter.bsky.social on AI. We have to accept that there will be people who don't want to use AI even if that seems antithetical to the current rhetoric that everyone wants to use it #altc #THEdigitalUK

AI Special Interest Group attendance/participation has far exceeded expectations, but there are still unreached pockets as yet!

As ever, technology is forcing change in education. A shame that AI should is the driver for these changes, such as those to assessment, but necessity is the mother of invention. It feels energy would be better spent on getting education to actively change instead of react #altc #THEdigitalUK

Panel discussing AI and integrity - the ethical approach to innovation, featuring @jacpotter.bsky.social and @puiyin.bsky.social

That and the exponential pace of change was pretty much my top takeaways from this session!

I'll have to get drafting - time for an after-work walk to spur the neurons on

@lawriephipps.bsky.social no doubt this is already on your radar - this instantly made me think of you

Loved the panel discussion from @puiyin.bsky.social @johnbrindletel.bsky.social @tamsyns.bsky.social @gamerlearner.bsky.social and @julievoce.bsky.social - thought-provoking questions on leadership and emerging leadership. I've got some new post-it notes for around my screen #ALTWinterSummit
