Check out the latest #AmplifyFE blog post by Zoey Tierney ‘My Journey with the Crdl and Winning the Ufi VocTech Award’ https://buff.ly/4eNTjuU #FurtherEducation #ALTc #ALTc2024 #ALTc24 #AwardWinner #VocTech
Yes very true due to neoliberal forces at play. I observe many new players onto the HE scene at the moment, with interesting offers, but as the #altc2024 posts allude to, we must use the technology to connect and help students learn, this isn’t about fancy video or interactive elements per se.
It’s also a failure of many senior leadership to not champion all supporters of learning and teaching in the UK and put in policies into action to make more use of the talent.
This is inclusion too and would help fix the morale issue in #HigherEducation #altc2024
Agreed, memories are short, especially when it may have been traumatic and as Professor Peter Bryant has written about the ‘snapback’ has been quick and hard. 🤷♂️ peterbryant.smegradio.com/and-the-way-... #altc2024
Helen O'Sullivan now welcomes ALT's new CEO Susan Martin #ALTc2024
Loving the phrase about technology 'bending time and space' by Helen Beetham #ALTc2024
Nor must we forget the mushroom risotto with chips. The vegetarian option for many early ALTC conference dinners. This example from Edinburgh. #ALTc2024 #altc #MuseumOfALT
"We need to challenge the distinctions between old and new learning, not just the opportunities of old and new technology"
Excellent presentation and research by that Peter Bryant. #ALTC #ALTC2024

Oh great, G'Day! Yes, it plays well on Bluesky. Lots of folks here due to #altc2024
Chris Friend concludes our opening keynote, and there are now questions coming in from our audience in the room and online #ALTc2024
Thanks for the direct link. It played nicely on Bluesky. First time to follow a conference from this social corner. #altc2024 listening from Central Australia.
Chris Friend says that educational technologists and academic staff should empower students and reduce the demand for data about students. #ALTc2024
Chris Friend is now talking about disciplinarity with the help of Dolly the Maltipoo (a hybrid cross between a Toy Poodle/Miniature Poodle and a Maltese). #ALTc2024
Things that Chris Friend has learned from student policies - students expect them to be punitive, arbitrary and unrelated to learning. What good does a punishment for more than 3 days of unauthorised absence do? #ALTc2024
Chris Friend is now talking about how Google entices you into keeping personalised advertisting switched on. How do we apply this in learning technologies? Do students become more accustomed to this from the way our systems treat them? #ALTc2024
Chris Friend is now talking about the "myth of standardisation" - if you design for the average pilot (or student), that design does not fit an individual pilot (or student). #ALTc2024
Chris is now talking about the "myth of virtualisation" #ALTc2024 - this time we have a cute dachshund staring at a laptop #ALTc2024
Chris is now talking about empathy in places, and there are some friendly dogs on screen #ALTc2024
