Was well behaved - did have two beers when I got home and watched highlights and commentary until about 2am - see linkedin - Scottish Govt new digital strategy - Lee and co have come through commitment at least on digital initiatives across public sector to #OER
After little joy in football on Saturday evening nor Rugby at Murrayfield on Sunday - hoping for lots of goals for Scotland at Hampden tonight - but who knows what team will turn up and hope they are not to psyched up to kick a ball #Scotland get the job done !!
Supporting a short session next week partly on working across the technology stack to support learners #openscot
News integrity in AI Systems - this is a superb resource for discussing with staff and students the reliability of AI news output and risks associated with not doing research thoroughly - AI has a place but there are sensible caveats needed around its use. www.bbc.co.uk/aboutthebbc/...

Nice set of learning design resources from Edge Hill University padlet.com/edgehill/bey... #altc25
