Because there is an expectation that academics will implement this, but at least a decade on from baseline standards and minimum expectations, this hasn't happened and won't happen unless digital education teams are empowered and resourced to support academics more directly. #altc25

The rationale was that students wanted a way to easily filter out things that weren't relevant. Having lots of things in one newsletter meant having to read through the whole thing, rather than just look at the subject header. But sending separate emails for each topic, would mean lots of emails 🤔

I can't believe we are still having to debunk the idea of a digital native.

Every time there is a student panel, someone asks how we should communicate with students. But all students are different. Some of our students say they preferred emails, and it helps building digital skills for employability, but they find emails with multiple topics overwhelming #altc25

Good to hear the student panel busting the myth of digital natives. Whilst they are comfortable using technology for leisure, they know that using it critically and academically is different. Something that @jsecker.bsky.social and I were discussing with academics yesterday in our MA module #altc25

Albania, this was great until the scary man came along, thankfully back to the lady shouting "snek, snek, snek"! #Eurovision

Lots of boogying to San Marino. Another favourite in this house. #Eurovision

Well sung France, especially given the risk of swallowing what was falling on her. #Eurovision

The favourites Sweden and they are definitely a favourite in our house. #Eurovision

Great vocals from Malta and the youngest asking why they have hardly any clothes on 😂

Portugal has grown on me during the week. A nice relaxed song.

#Eurovision

Like this song but still don't like his muddy shoulders #Eurovision

A banger from Germany and now a less exciting one from Greece with a pointless dress change at the end #Eurovision

Poland - another surprise from the semi-finals. Not a favourite but she is singing well. #Eurovision

Agree with Graham, this is such a lovely song from Italy and a nod to Glam Rock fashion from Lucio #Eurovision

Scary lady for Finland with a catchy tune #Eurovision

Great song from the Netherlands, though I keep thinking he is in his pyjamas 😂 #Eurovision

Great staging from Latvia. Think the song is growing on me. Thankfully they managed to release one of the singers from the strings hanging down #Eurovision

And now a cracking song from Iceland's version of Jedward. Love this song #Eurovision

Glass of Bailey's raised to toast Sir Terry. Now onto potentially the highest vocals of the evening with the amazing Austria #Eurovision

The UK entry asking "what the hell just happened?" which is what we'll all be thinking if we actually win 😂 it's a nice quirky song, and they have sung it well, so who knows. #Eurovision

Great song from Spain, definitely one of my favourites. Have been humming this all week. #Eurovision

Now I remember why I was surprised Lithuania made it through the semi-finals. At least the 90s curtains hairstyle is making a return 😂 #Eurovision

Catchy song from Estonia and loving the wiggly leg dancing 😂 #Eurovision

Luxembourg with the first dress change of the evening. Expecting many more! Youngest doesn't see the point of it 😂 #Eurovision

Not bad Norway, definitely a catchy song. #Eurovision

It's not bad but I keep thinking he is saying he will bring his own lighter.

It's #Eurovision! Some good songs coming up, but missing a great song from Ireland.

Lots of strobe in the songs too.

Now I am tempted to come to #ALTC25!

Lovely to see you both!
