Home! Patch was sitting by the front window waiting for me! It must have felt like a lifetime for her! Love you my baby Patchie kitty! #THEdigitalUK
@julievoce.bsky.social from @ctellancaster.bsky.social cohort 4 is the person who started the "pyramid scheme" of inspiring loads of us to pursue our #PhDinTEL with @edreslancaster.bsky.social, so it was extra special to be able to present at #THEdigitalUK with her on campus this week! Thank you! ❤️
I mean, how could I not get a photo with @brettbligh.bsky.social and Alice when on campus! It would be a crime against @ctellancaster.bsky.social! @edreslancaster.bsky.social #THEdigitalUK
Finally after more than 2 years of working with my awesome supervisor @paulashwin.bsky.social I got to meet him in 3D! ☺️☺️☺️ @edreslancaster.bsky.social @ctellancaster.bsky.social see you again soon! #THEdigitalUK
Can't be on the land of LU without a photo with @digisim.bsky.social! So good to catch up with you! Until next time! #THEdigitalUK
@mattlingard.bsky.social was the first boss who saw me for who I am, what I could become! He's introduced me to a whole new world of possibilities, opened important doors for me & connected me with so many fine people in digital education who I have the honour to call my friends! #THEdigitalUK
So it turned out @lauramilne.bsky.social never made it to my conference selfies collection, so we had to sort it right away! #THEdigitalUK
It's better if you don't ask what's happening here! 🤪 @tamsyns.bsky.social @julievoce.bsky.social @hintondm.bsky.social Nico S #THEdigitalUK
Just @jamesyallen.bsky.social and I being us on the lovely campus of Lancaster University @edreslancaster.bsky.social @ctellancaster.bsky.social #THEdigitalUK
Finally! Another professional goal achieved! Being on stage with 2 of my favourite woman leaders @tamsyns.bsky.social @julievoce.bsky.social on stage! #THEdigitalUK
Conferences are good CPD opportunities. However, for me, they are much more about networking! @jamesyallen.bsky.social @tamsyns.bsky.social @mattlingard.bsky.social @amysampson.bsky.social @julievoce.bsky.social @hintondm.bsky.social @katyjordan.bsky.social @kathymchandler.bsky.social #THEdigitalUK

One thing I never realise I miss until I return to one, is the vibe of a university campus. The University of Lancaster has been a wonderful, if windy, host this week. Bathed as it has been in glorious sunshine #THEdigitalUK #altc

Great to hear practical advice on supporting students to develop digital skills from the King's team #altc #THEdigitalUK
Students are motivated to complete the essential digital skills module at King's by getting a higher education certification award/digital certificate (78%) and self identification of a need to develop specific skills (74%) #THEdigitalUK
Next up at #THEdigitalUK is a session from colleagues at King's College London about digital skills development. Essential Digital Skills is a Moodle module for students focussed on core areas related to learning platforms, digital skills for success, being a digital citizen and wellbeing.
4 learning technology themed stickers. Including a Scooby Doo themed AI sticker "I would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for you pesky ethics"
If you're at #THEdigitalUK and would like some @altuk.bsky.social stickers, hit me up. Created by the brilliant @visualthinkery.bsky.social #PeskyEthics #altc #THEdigitalUK
Listening to @kerrypinny.bsky.social talking about the @altuk.bsky.social coffee break sessions as a good way to bring the community together, especially those working on their own. The coffee break provides a space to share practice and discuss challenges. #THEdigitalUK
Nearly time to bring @altuk.bsky.social's The Coffee Break to #THEdigitalUK. Come along to Cavendish at 11:45 to try it in-person #altc
Avoiding cottage industries in faculties. Institutional expertise and equipment, accessible to all, is key to enabling widespread innovation #altc #THEdigitalUK
A lack of budget can force innovation. A similar rhetoric to the 'do more with less' approach of education that has been prevalent for decades. If we are expected to achieve, it must be appropriately supported. Success seeds the idea in the exec that it's OK and works #THEdigitalUK #altc
My time at the #THEdigitalUK reminds me of the need for better #conference etiquette!
It is really unhelpful of people to sit at the end of an otherwise empty lecture theatre row, thereby blocking access to others. When attending a session within a lecture theatre, please always sit in the […]
A very timely presentation this morning. Building an innovation policy in challenging financial times. The definition of innovation is the first question kicking off the discussion #THEdigitalUK #altc
Honored to be invited to speak at @timeshighered Digital Universities UK on AI’s role in research. I provided examples of how AI can be used to support (not replace) responsible research & promote good practice. Let’s keep the conversation going! DM me or share any session photos! ✨ #THEdigitalUK
