Congratulations to Glasgow Clyde College on making learning more accessible through its Glasgow Code Learning initiative - winner of the @jisc.bsky.social sponsored Digital Learning category at this evening's CDN #CollegeAwards

I see skies of blue... but haven't gotten into the habit of Blueskying. Like many, I came here to escape X. Getting the critical mass of content and conversation going is tricky, but that's down to us. And you've probably been better than me at that. Today's resolution: more Bluesky #MorningThought

Whilst it's always good to meet up @jisc.bsky.social colleagues, as we work in a geographically dispersed organisation, Ruben's been practising his "please don't go" look. I'll be back soon, good boy!

Skates on, Scotland and NI! We're looking for speakers for Jisc's next Connect More (2-3 Dec) to showcase what they're doing/what they've learned in learning and teaching technology. Themes and the speaker suggestion form are at www.jisc.ac.uk/forms/submit... - by the end of THIS FRIDAY (10 Oct).

In celebration of Scotland’s first National Innovation Week with The Scottish Government, @jasonjisc.bsky.social shares how Jisc drives teaching, research and digital transformation across Scotland’s colleges and universities.

A privilege to chair Day 2 of @jisc.bsky.social Connect More. A common thread for me was tech's ability to help support *each* student, not just the collective 'students': adaptable/responsive content, co-designed analytics dashboards, AI empowerment & making learning personal in immersive spaces.

A great Day 1 of @jisc.bsky.social Connect More 2025. For me, a common thread has been the journey from concept to practical implementation. I've heard how to develop digital skills pragmatically, how to approach digital assessment in practice, and how to do XR and app development in the real-world.

For those in UK colleges and universities... it's now or never LAST CALL: (reg closes 5pm today - Friday). Give yourself the chance to dip into Jisc's Connect More (tech in learning and teaching) free online event happening next week. Share with colleagues! www.jisc.ac.uk/connect-more...

How much sleep I get on the Sleeper train can be a bit of a lottery... But I slept well last night, and now I'm ready to hit the bright lights of @Jisc #Digifest25. Particularly looking forward to catching up with all those from Scotland and NI!

This morning we welcome the HE IT Directors Scotland (HEIDS) group to the @jisc.bsky.social Jisc Innovation Hub at the University of Stirling. The facility allows remote and in-person participation, and it's a glorious crisp winter's day. I'm looking forward to showing off some of the kit. #edtech

I'll be sporting my @jisc.bsky.social badge once again, at DigitalScotland 24 today in Edinburgh. Happy to discuss how Jisc supports colleges & unis to engage with the wider public sector, and Jisc's own place as a Scottish public sector body. #DigitalScotland24 #FutureScot

Somewhat ironically, I had to leave the EdTech Scotland/Learning Spaces Scotland event early today, because I could find nowhere to plug my laptop in (and with work I needed to complete). #edtech #LearningPlacesScotland

I do like a good silent disco. Though I get the feeling there will be a little less dance today than I'm used to. #LearningPlacesScotland #edtech #edtechScotland

An opening presentation from Apple on indoctrinating school pupils to say "iPad" rather than "tablet". Oh, and the potential for tech in the classroom. I suppose that's event sponsorship for you #EdTechScotland

Greetings from EdTech Scotland / Learning Places Scotland, at the SEC, Glasgow. I've got a big orange Jisc @jisc.bsky.social badge on, as usual. Always happy to talk education, tech, and how cold it was this morning. #edtechScotland #edtech #LearningPlacesScotland

Hello Bluesky! We should introduce ourselves, shouldn't we? We're Jisc & we're on a mission to improve lives through the digital transformation of education and research. That’s why we exist. It’s what drives us every day. You can find out more at: www.jisc.ac.uk/about-us It's nice to be here 😀

Looking forward to meeting new colleagues and renewing the chat with those I've known a while at the @jisc.bsky.social Jisc All Staff Conference in Birmingham. Even if Ruben said "please don't go" this morning.

Let's get my Bluesky account going with a guest appearance by Ruben, my German Shepherd who likes to invade my personal space when I'm working (and not giving him enough attention).
