Here's a video I prepared for the @researchED1 Madrid conference that was held on November 21st this year: youtu.be/KEzv-X9neE4?si… via @YouTube

This is an entirely AI-generated video overview using NotebookLM Google of the open source book: Developing Curriculum for Deep Thinking The Knowledge Revival youtube.com/watch?v=XexR7h… Considering there is no human editing or authoring of the video at all, I found it a rather impressive overview, although it missed some important ideas in the book that should've been there. What I liked about it is its alignment with, as much as possible, multimedia learning principles. Having read the book, I think the video overview can be used for novice readers in curriculum design before engaging with the book.

A new paper I’ve co-authored about the importance of a ‘knowledge-based, skills-orientated’ curriculum, with exemplification of what that means and how it can be implemented: reformscotland.com/wp-content/upl…

This is a recording of a free webinar I hosted for parents and carers, focusing on effective (and ineffective) study strategies that can be used at home to support your child with their learning. Please feel free to share widely if you think it's useful! youtube.com/watch?v=2FLodJ…

This is essential reading for anyone involved in curriculum decision-making (including Education Secretaries, Directors of Education and senior leaders in bodies such as Education Scotland). Ring-fence 3 hours to read it and a few more to discuss it - it’s too important not to.
