View of houses of parliament from Lambeth Bridge

I rarely walk over Lambeth Bridge so I paused to enjoy the view.
Beautiful day for a stroll to Chelsea College of Arts for #muggl #moodle meeting.

Lifelong learning - CoSector

Really looking forward to being at the #wonkhe Festival of Higher Education this week with my CoSector colleagues.

To coincide we will be sharing some thoughts over the coming days about what we see as important to the sector and how we can help. www.cosector.com/lifelong/

I prefer the Cake Peace 🍰✌️

I don't know what that makes me?
I've got no A levels, but did achieve BSc, Masters, PgCs, PgDs etc.
Put me down as a fucking miracle OfS.
Thank you.

Image of website text reading: Dress code (there isn’t one) People often ask us what they should wear – we suggest whatever makes you comfortable. The only steer we can give is to say it’s not a formal event – men: leave the ties at home!

So disappointing to see lazy everyday sexism and gender assumptions cropping up on the website of a higher education sector organisation that should know a whole better.

Ours came on this morning under its own thermostatic steam. Positive event- the boiler still works!

English Teacher (band) performing on the Leftfield stage at Glastonbury 2024

Seeing the wonderful English Teacher, formed at a Leeds Conservatoire, win the 2024 Mercury Prize, maybe we should be giving student bands the opportunity to perform a professional gig and provide the entertainment?

#ALTC24 student panel.
Students are assessed on critical thinking and depth, something AI doesn't do.
"AI isn't human after all."

Great photos and memories James.
I'm also remembering hair that I have lost 😮

Twitter posting from 2009 about getting to ALT on slow trains

Trying to get to ALTC in 2009 in Manchester and stay connected on the way. #MuseumOfAlt
Just arrived in Manchester for #ALTC24
Same.

Really looking forward to #ALTC24 to catch up with colleagues and friends. Making use of the long train ride to do some BlueSky admin - so many new followers to follow back!
Feels like a community again.

Many (public) congratulations.
See you tonight to celebrate 🎉

Thanks Alex - fab idea! (I wondered why I had a gazillion notifications!!)

I like this book.
22 individual stories of human endeavour to make it in music.

Well hello!!
I'm being very selective about followers: only people I've seen in person or know are real through other networks.

It does! So...
Doing 'EdTech' since floppy disks on books in the late 1900s.
UK Higher Ed; VLE/LMS implementation; digital transformation; customer strategy; assessment data lifecycle; in many sector groups.
What ever you do - remember the student comes first.

The only #edtech constant over the last 30 years is re-subscribing / re-following social network accounts and sorting out my profile. Again.
