Really looking forward to tomorrow's @ntutorr.ie showcase at which, among lots of other things, we’ll be launching the National Digital Leadership Network (NDLN). The new network explores critical trends in #HigherEd and provide direction on how these can be aligned with institutional priorities.

I am feeling a little overwhelmed at just how much is happening with N-TUTORR over the next few weeks. But the main event is the Showcase, on 26 Nov, where we celebrate all that’s been achieved. You are invited! Sign up here registration.crowdcomms.com/n-tutorr-sho...
