Team @sheffieldhallamuni.bsky.social We each presented at SEDA conference. @dralison.bsky.social, Elizabeth Freeman and Melike Bulut #sedaconf2025

We've been exploring the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in learning. A key challenge is transparency of how AI is used. The Artificial Intelligence Transparency Scale is a tool to talk about how we use AI in learning, teaching, and more generally. Find out more at doi.org/10.25416/NTR...

It was such a pleasure to record a podcast on digital learning with @pjmella.bsky.social recently! All Series 1 episodes are available at lta.shu.ac.uk/scholarship/...

The Maturity Model workshop cards based on the @jisc.bsky.social Digital Transformation Framework Maturity Model, are now available from the National Teaching Repository doi.org/10.25416/NTR... I hope colleagues find these useful,and please do get in touch with your feedback if you use them!

I’ve been looking forward to today - Jisc Digifest! I’m excited to share how we used the Maturity Model @sheffieldhallamuni.bsky.social for our Digital Learning Transformation Project, & first time sharing Maturity Model workshop cards 🤩 15:00 in Hall 8 #digifest #jiscdigifest @jisc.bsky.social

A couple of days on from #SocMedHE24 I've reflected on what I learnt. Thank you again to Liz Mossop for her welcome address, @amltaylor66.bsky.social for her thought provoking keynote, and to @suebecks.bsky.social for being such a wonderful co-organiser! www.linkedin.com/pulse/reflec...

What a day yesterday @ #SocMedHE24! I'm still cogitating on what I learnt. Thank you again to all the presenters, with particular mention to @sheffieldhallamuni.bsky.social VC Liz Mossop, fabulous keynote @amltaylor66.bsky.social, and conference co-host @suebecks.bsky.social. Here's to #SocMedHE25!

The last session of the day was the ‘Gasta’ Lightning session hosted by @gasta.me The perfect high energy way to end the conference! #SocMedHE24

Really pleased to see conference colleagues enjoying the #SocMedHE24 frame that I made! A key part of the #SocMedHE conference is that element of fun 🤩

It’s already afternoon and it’s been a fabulous morning at #SocMedHE24. @amltaylor66.bsky.social really set the thinking for the day with her insightful keynote! Thank you to Amanda for her wonderful contribution to the conference 🤓

Today is a special day for @suebecks.bsky.social & I. We started #SocMedHE in 2015 w/ Helen Rodger, and with the support of many colleagues from @sheffieldhallamuni.bsky.social. #SocMedHE24 allows us to look back & see how our collaborative work has made impact & contributed to the SocMed community.

I’m really looking forward to the 10th #SocMedHE Conference tomorrow. @suebecks.bsky.social and I have been planning and preparing for the last few months and I’m excited to see our wonderful keynote @amltaylor66.bsky.social and all the presenters. Perfect celebration before the Christmas break! 🎄

It’s #SocMedHE24 eve! Cannot wait for tomorrow!

Over the last year we @sheffieldhallamuni.bsky.social have been working with Jisc as a partner for their Digital Transformation project & we were delighted to be selected to share our story: www.jisc.ac.uk/member-stori... #DX #DTX #DigitalTransformation #DigitalLearning

It was time to leave.

An exciting day ahead today! We’re co-hosting a digital transformation event with @jisc.bsky.social today 🥳 #DXHE #digitaltransformationHE

I feel very sad today. A feeling of grief and bereftness similar to that which I felt in 2016. The consequences of the US election will have global ramifications. I’m on my way to a very positive event though, so I need to park my political emotions until later!

I'm really excited to share our editorial, published today in the Journal of University Teaching and Learning Practice, on writing effective research questions. You can download the full paper and the infographic illustrating our IDEA-ARC writing model at doi.org/10.53761/j64... @drjot.bsky.social

So pleased to join the audience here in Lancaster at the University of Cumbria for the inaugural professorial lecture of @amltaylor66.bsky.social 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #838,347!

The call for abstracts is now open! #socmedhe24 #socmedhe 🤩

Exciting news! Hold the date: 19th December 2024 The 10th Social Media for Learning in Higher Education Conference #SocMedHE24 call for papers is open. forms.office.com/e/E2BKHM6C0F and will close on Monday 21st October at 5pm (British Summer Time). blogs.shu.ac.uk/socmedhe/soc...

I’ve noticed a few new #edtech #DigitalEducation people joining this week. @alexspiers.bsky.social has created a great Starter Pack of people to follow 👍🏻🤓

Our workshop was the last session of the day but we still had great engagement. I talked about our work with Jisc as a pilot institution, our approach, and how we used the maturity model as a conversational and exploration tool for digital change. #ALTc24 #DXHE

The presentation from eCampusOntario's Robert Luke included an infographic called the Anatomy of an Empowered Educator, which definitely ties in with the discussion my table had at @johnbrindletel.bsky.social's collaborative learning design session yesterday. Love it when that happens! #ALTC

My latest post for @lseimpactblog.bsky.social If ‘academic X’ is sinking, where are research organisations going? I have compiled a spreadsheet (that can be updated) which includes over 250 of them - details in replies. blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsoci...

The problem with only going to 1 day of a 3-day conference, esp. the last day, is that you get a huge dose of FOMO hearing about all the exciting things you’ve missed 😅 #ALTC24 sounds like it’s been a good one. Jisc workshop is saved for the final session - DX & digital maturity - Dublin room 15:15!

A few more people added to the Jisc Starter Pack go.bsky.app/BwZV3df

Final question in #ALTc24 keynote “any quick and obvious wins that people often overlook to improve accessibility and inclusion?” - as a disabled person my answer is - challenge your assumptions, look beyond your own lived experience, listen to (& hear) diverse experiences. Be open. #inclusion

Our panel today:- Fawn Hunkins-Beckford, Neurodiversity Network ambassador, Arden University Piers Wilkinson, Senior Policy and Campaigns Lead, Diversity and Ability Lucy Woodcock, Accessibility Team Lead, AbilityNet Hector Minto, Technology Evangelist, Microsoft Chaired by Alice Chapman #ALTc24

I’m at #ALTC24 today and presenting later with Jisc colleagues about digital transformation. Keynote panel begins the day on the topic of “Inviting Improvement through Lived Experience”. Important conversation about the value of diverse voices and hearing lived experiences #diversity #inclusion

Excited to be a presenter and invited panel member at #SocMedHe23 ! Really looking forward to the day!

Our new social media & digital communication guides are now available from go.shu.ac.uk/socialmedia and if you’re coming to the SEDA conference next week, come along to our short paper to learn more about how to use with students. You’ll also get a lovely set of paper copies! @suebecks.bsky.social

Just discovered deck.blue which is so close to the old Tweetdeck it gives me shivers. As someone who has had tweetdeck (or similar) open in some browser tab every day since 2010 this is a big moment.

My keynote at the Digital Pedagogies & Practice conference, I talked about our new project which brings together several areas of work for a combined approach and to give clarity of vision and direction for digital learning transformation at Sheffield Hallam Uni www.slideshare.net/AlisonPurvis...

“Using social media safely and appropriately in higher education: A reflection on the last 10 years” - @suebecks.bsky.social and I presented at the Sheffield Hallam University “Developing Digital Pedagogies and Practice” Conference yesterday. www.slideshare.net/suebeckingha...

Here I am! 🤓
