Email notifications and other “nudges” targeting at-risk students have little impact on their well-being or academic engagement, according to the results of a trial held at three UK universities. Juliette Rowsell reports #EduSky #well-being

I just happened to be hosting the #digifest26 presentation by Dr Atif Ghani that showcased the VR experience he’s created about the context and circumstances of said crash.
Still mentally unpacking that one. How was your #digifest26?
*no relation
“what did you learn at #digifest26?”
Why, thank you for asking. I learned that Lord Christopher Thomson of Cardington*, Secretary of State for Air in 1930, died in an airship accident on an ill-advised flight from Bedford to Karachi that skipped safety checks due to political pressure.
Congrats on your Community Champ award!
(The video you have to watch is kinda hilarious).
Request for help: My daughter’s doing her 3rd year Psychology research dissertation on theory of mind and traits associated with autism. If you could spare 20-30 mins to complete her online survey that’d be an enormous help. DM me for the link and blurb.
Encouraging, I think. I wrote to my MP about this this week.

I love Merlin! It's like Pokemon Go that's OK for grown ups to play.
Unaccountably, it is!
Quite well, thank you. I’m off to Edinburgh to see my folks, so that’s nice. You?
Last point. “Our central focus therefore became not just whether families would engage, but whether the AI could do so responsibly.” It’s probably semantics but the responsible party is the researcher or the platform creator, not the AI.
Also, what does it mean for these marginalised communities to have their data processed by tools that are also potentially removing their own agency in other contexts?
I wonder how feasible informed consent is in this context, asking people to entrust their experiences and stories to a pretty opaque data processing machine, especially when done at scale. Lots to dig into here.
excellent resource around digital skills/tools from @jisc.bsky.social shared at the #altc25 revisted conference this morning webmedia.company.ja.net/content/html...
Screengrab of LinkedIn’s page telling me my puzzle score beats 95% of CEOs.
When LinkedIn tells me my word puzzle score means I’m smarter than 95% of CEOs’, I’m less proud of myself, more “who the heck have we got running our companies?”
