Really looking forward to tomorrow's @ntutorr.ie showcase at which, among lots of other things, we’ll be launching the National Digital Leadership Network (NDLN). The new network explores critical trends in #HigherEd and provide direction on how these can be aligned with institutional priorities.

It's official!

In recent months it has become increasingly clear that X does not align with the values of N-TUTORR, and in consultation with the Programme Steering Board, we have decided to no longer use the platform to communicate about N-TUTORR activities.
