Someone else with their own style doing my job with the same group of people could make it a very different team for example.

I've wondered about this too, but now I consider it more as I am responsible for them and I provide some leadership and management glue in my own style, which brings it all together and that makes it my team.

A couple of bears almost finished...I like this stage where their faces and characters are about to emerge. Not often I'll have more than one on the go, but these are a gift for twins.

A workshop participants hand holding a mini whiteboard paddle with results of small group discussion. The group's top 3 themes around responsible use of GenAI are "Declaring use, Limited use (environmental), and Respectful/Bias aware".

Yesterday a couple of members of the Digital Learning Team hosted a prompt-a-thon. This was a pilot ahead of a University-wide event planned for later this year. Was a really thoughtful and playful way to engage with GenAI tools and effective prompt writing. Had some great discussions as a result.

I meant to post this earlier today. It's been a long but very enjoyable day hearing about different approaches to immersive learning via @ucisa-deg.bsky.social at BirkBeck today. Feeling inspired for 2025.

Hello folks. Besides work, you will also find dog and craft content on my account. Here is our crackers Bodatian (Border Collie Dalmatian cross) who ate the Christmas Decs last year.

Updated our Team Charter today, which was modelled on @altuk.bsky.social Ethical Framework and includes a Vevox word cloud of our shared values. It's a useful discussion point and reflective exercise.

This week has been a very positive move to a new platform! Hello old and new contacts! If you are an academic at University of Southampton I'm keen to hear about your Blackboard Ultra migration, among other things.
