Cosas que aprendí de @AlejandroA

After eight fantastic years at @UniNorthants, where I'm Dean of Learning and Teaching, I'm very excited to join @portsmouthuni as Dean of Digital and Distributed Learning on 1st September. @UniPortCCI @UoPScience @UoPHumSS @UoPBusiness @TelPortsmouth

I've just realised I *can* pithily summarise my advice for universities shifting to online/hybrid/flexible learning in the light of Covid-19, based on decades as an online learning researcher. I can even do it in a sentence: DO SOMETHING - ANYTHING - OTHER THAN VIDEO LECTURES

A new report on reimagining the future of learning and teaching in higher education examines leaders’ perspectives on the rapid response to lockdown and how universities need to continue to adapt ji.sc/change-and-cha… #highered #HE @jisc @rjhowe @UniNhantsNews

Well done, you!

We’ve been working with HE leaders and our partners @UniversitiesUK, @emergelab, and @AdvanceHE on reimagining what learning and teaching will look like in the future. The first report from this HE-wide initiative is now live ji.sc/change-and-cha…

Our Interim Principal @djm92373 is one of the authors of a new report out today. "Reimagining the future of learning and teaching in HE’ examines leaders’ perspectives on rapid response to lockdown and how universities need to continue to adapt." buff.ly/31N6qs2

Lovely to be back on @UniNorthants campus today after 5 months working remotely. Saying goodbye to @alejandroa as he moves on to pastures new. I got an URB@N mug specially made for him! 😉 Good luck Ale!

“For many #universities, this means taking another look at the role of the campus and getting the most out of their estates. Some like Northampton are already traveling along this path.” Our #learning model is cited as trailblazing in this @Jisc report: bit.ly/3hIvCag

Those who can, teach. They enable and support learning. Those who can't, deliver content. #ActiveBlendedLearning #ABL #HigherEd #highereducation

Regardless of the mode of study, teaching is one thing. The "delivery of content" [sic] is another. They are not synonyms. Our job is to enable and support learning, i.e. teach well. #ActiveBlendedLearning #ABL #HigherEd #HigherEducation

I keep meeting colleagues from across the sector who are busy “recording & uploading [rather long] lectures”. Content matters, but what’s really important is what learners *do* with it and why. Bombarding them with recorded lectures is not the way to go. #highereducation

@HalaMansour @KeeleInnovation @KeeleUniversity That's URB@N! They have a full poster slot at our #LTC2020 on Tuesday 16th. We normally fund 8-14 UG research projects per year. @remaunder is the mastermind of URB@N at @UniNorthants See northampton.ac.uk/ilt/research-a…

Indeed.

"Deliver learning". "Deliver learning outcomes". Two examples (among many) that illustrate some individuals' lack of understanding of pedagogy. You can do many things with, for and about learning. "Delivering" it is not one of them. #HE #FE #ABL #futureedtech #highered #LTHEchat

“The findings suggest that #teaching presence and #cognitive presence have themselves “become #social.” The research points to social presence as a major lever for engagement, sense‐making and peer support” #CoI #CommunityOfInquiry - implications for #PivotOnline #blendedlearning
