Celebrating our Community Champions as change agents – Communities

The term "change agent" always makes me think of "secret agent." 🤣 I like to think that those who are plugging away in their communities, making things happen are our education secret agents. 😉 Loved celebrating at #Digifest25 with our 2025 Champions. communities.jiscinvolve.org/wp/2025/04/3...

Reflections from our Community Champions alumni panel at #Digifest25. Collaboration and bringing people together is hard work and takes a lot of energy. Our Champions alumni are testament to how education work needs passionate and dedicated people. communities.jiscinvolve.org/wp/2025/04/0...

I was chatting with the British Esports Foundation at @jisc.bsky.social #Digifest25 last week. It is a burgeoning field and they are now running multiple level 3 qualifications and working on degree level ones. Esports is a multimillion dollar industry, its definitely worthy of exploration.

What can we learn from the ALT/ Jisc XR community at Digifest 2025? - Inspiring learning Despite the lunchtime slot, it was a solid turnout for the extended reality (XR) community meet up at Digifest, reflecting the growing interest and engagement in XR within the sector.

I wasn't able to attend #digifest25 this year, and if like me, you have FOMO for missing the UK XR community meet up, don't worry we've put together this short blog posts to help you feel part of the conversation: inspiringlearning.jiscinvolve.org/wp/2025/03/x...

I had a great time at #Digifest25 in Birmingham. One highlight for me was the panel discussion with alumni of the Jisc digital leaders programme. They discussed how digital leaders meet tomorrow with my colleagues @debbaff.bsky.social and Dan Hughes.

I made the Jiscasaurus on my Adobe Express chocolate bar at #Digifest25. Think Jisc has missed a trick there not having an orange dinosaur as our mascot tbh. 😉 🦕🦖

At the Adobe #Digifest25 conference exhibition stand, I’m afraid.
