🏖️ We explored 'sandpits' - playful spaces designed to encourage innovative thinking.
📣 And 'soapboxes' - provocations on crucial topics such as teaching (or co-learning!), assessment and AI, wellbeing, learner analytics, & co-creation with students.

It felt like a @wonkhe.bsky.social kind of sock day
*context… these are socks Wonkhe gave out at the Festival of HE. Great conference stash 👏
Nice to hear from students 👏 Knowing how to use the tools is only a tiny part of AI literacy. A big thing that educators in HE can support students with is to be critical of the outputs. Luckily, that needs skills that HE is already well equipped to teach. wonkhe.com/blogs/access...
