I've just ordered my copy. I recommend the Lecturer's Toolkit to all lecturers, from new lecturers to the most experienced. This is the number 1 book every higher education teacher should have on their shelf.👇

If an MP (or anyone) makes a claim about overdiagnosis of mental illness, autism or ADHD, please ask them by what authority they think themselves qualified to override the judgements of doctors, psychiatrists & trained clinicians, without having even met any of the people they're talking about.

That's a big commitment for zero pay! It is good to have some external scrutiny, but it should be enumerated appropriately.

Thank you. We hope people interested in facilitating or training others about focus groups will find it useful. Includes our nominal focus group approach and multimodal methods.

I recently had a reviewer quote what chat gpt what said about a theory and told how much better it was than my own explanation!

Cost likely to be underestimated when we consider the time spent in meetings talking about it.

Travel sickness?

@williamhanson.bsky.social teaching me everything school and university didn't.

Someone I cared about ghosted me about 18 months ago. Probably for the best in some respects, but still hurts.

If that's true I think they need a new leader.

Cheap petrol!

The sad thing is that email and admin have taken over academic life so much that many of us have to squeeze in the poisoning of minds on evenings and weekends.

Reviewer quoting chatgpt as providing a better clearer definition of a theory than I had provided is a new low. I wouldn't mind but the quote from AI oversimplified the theory to the point of being useless.

Publishing amongst fab company for the bumper special edition of @jldhe.bsky.social on third-space professionals in HE ☺️Lots of reading ahead!

One of my last wins in the previous job was to prevent something like this being published as study advice.

MEd? Are these people keeping up to date in their subject?

Thank you. I did check them out as I remember you did a video on them l, but they don't have one. Looks like all Anglias are chauffer driven Harry Potter experiences now!

They can even match courses to your learning style! It's the Japanese knot-weed of education.

Happy birthday Sally! You were born the same day as my mum!

@hubnut.bsky.social Do you know anywhere that might make this possible?
