A very happy new year to everyone. I wish and pray that 2025 is the year when the world finally decides to take a chill pill, stop going into wars, stop killing innocent people and children, stop burning the planet, and people start being kind(er) to each other. #HappyNewYear #Peace #Kindness

@carlessdavid.bsky.social absolutely delighted to have Prof Feedback in the room! Since dropping X, been missing his feedback & HE updates (and occasional fine wining/dining & hols). Order is restored!!!!

'T'is the season to be jolly... ... ... 🙄

Absolutely essential to exercise "letting go" in so many aspects of H education. At a fundamental level, from a #situatedlearning framing: it's about placing learners in a position of agency.

Sade on the radio on Sweetest Taboo, reminded me of the mother of all misheard lyrics, another song of hers, Mousse Vapourator, or was it Moose Vaporator? Yes, it was fun as a teenager in Uruguay trying to make sense of lyrics in English. I thought Duran Duran were rather political with "No Tories"

Bluesky is taking off exponentially, I wonder why ;)

Ah well, time of the year to take my wooly hat off and look like Vir Cotto from Babylon 5

We're recruiting! Postdoc research + research support permanent role #PedRes #SOTL research of research (drivers, mapping, impact, sustainability of PedRes/SoTL) jobs.leeds.ac.uk/vacancy.aspx...

@leedsteaching.bsky.social LITE is on LinkedIn! www.linkedin.com/company/leed...

Loving my job @leedsteaching.bsky.social This month is busy with feedback on fellowships and preparing to launch the first stage of our 5-yr strategy. This means I spend my days with great colleagues focusing on meaningful/purposeful conversations around HE. Having the time of my life! Thank you!

We keep on ignoring the evidence, the experts, and misunderstanding what they mean at our students' peril. If anyone had any doubt, here's from Prof Feedback himself...

@leedsteaching.bsky.social (teachingexcellence.leeds.ac.uk) has landed on BlueSky! @diervilla.bsky.social can you add to the Leeds and the T&L HE Starter Packs?

Look who's here!!!! Prof Kandiko-Howson!!!! @cbkh.bsky.social

I dreamt that I heard that Jonnie Peacock had won gold at Paris. I dreamt I actually went online to check. I dreamt I found the news he indeed had won. And I was so happy in my dream. I hope it is a premonition!

PLEASE PLEASE STOP USING ACRONYMS! (says the Director of LITE... irony not gone unnoticed...) OK. let me rephrase: let's avoid acronyms as much as possible, particularly in blanket emails asking to do something, or at least define them first. Rant over. UK (ha) seems the land of the acronym...

Follow Rich! He's really interested into #AI in HE and #Ethics in #SoTL

Follow Izzy! She's interested in feedback! #SoTL #feedback

Hey, just landed! please, can those who know me repost to help me reconnect with my #HE #SoTL #PedRes #DBER #TL #T&S community? Much appreciated!

Finally, a starter pack of HE policy, pedagogy, assessment etc. This is quite incomplete at the moment, but its probably time to do some real work... go.bsky.app/HzQvdh4

And here's a University of Leeds starter pack. Again, let me know if you want adding or taking out! go.bsky.app/HHa3CL6
