Just picking one conclusion amongst many - it's not a "nice to have" to want open-source digital education infrastructure and tools for global benefit .... it's a human right.

Here's the recording of my inaugural talk. If you feel you missed out on throwing ping pong balls, I have a few spare you can borrow while you watch. (Many thanks to all who organised and helped put on this event, and those who attended in person and online).

Whilst visiting Kings Building for @UoE_LTConf @EdinburghUni we noticed these remote research projects developed during Covid lockdown. Loved them, alternative learning right there #EdBudds

Another excellent reminder from Anne-Marie that current framing just ain't right. Never mind including more-than-base-level pedagogical considerations, outcome evaluation and so on ....

Then there is the human rights side. UNHRC report A/HRC/50/32 says we need a free and open public digital infrastructure for education, so CRA places big barriers in the way of that, and even in the way of free speech says Mike - esp for interpreted languages. Yikes!

@ammienoot made sure I was in a talk by @mmilinkov on the coming CRA and it is not looking good for anyone - there might be a charity get out, but it won't really be a way out for academic developers (because of the tests on what counts as commercial)

So today I officially became "scared silly" of the new EU cyber resilience act. If you write or use open source software, or in fact, almost any software (it's hidden all over the place), then be prepared to get cut off by extra territorial suppliers or regulated out of operation

Extremely pleased to have been promoted to Senior Lecturer @SchoolOfEng_UoE; exactly 10 years after my PhD @imperialeee and the year of my 40th birthday. That's me officially old / senior! Thank you to all my collaborators and mentors who've made this journey so much richer.

Fancy a fully-funded international PhD studentship in Remote Labs at the University of Edinburgh working with me, Prof Tim Stratford and Dr Jonathan Terry? Know someone who does? Apply here by the end of October! eng.ed.ac.uk/studying/postg…

It was super fab working with our legendary future teaching visionary @sbayne on this @UoE_Teaching blog post about the role of technology in assessment. And just to be meta, we used AI to generate the cover image. I think I'll leave that there and let you all read the blog ....
Teaching Matters@UoE_Teaching

Professor @sbayne and Professor @TimothyDrysdale discuss the opportunities, and the risks, of assessment-related technologies. Sian is Professor of @eddiged (@MorayHouse) and Tim is the Chair of Technology Enhanced Science Education (@SchoolOfEng_UoE) teaching-matters-blog.ed.ac.uk/assessment-fee…

Software: this great advice on re-ordering git commits for the reviewer is similar to the mindset behind research ... commits start off like your lab notes then get rebased into what you show other researchers for peer review. github.blog/2022-06-30-wri…

Fab talk at PHEE22 by @DrKellermann about parity for all in hybrid learning, in the post-covid world, i.e. be a Leica, not a kodak (only one embraced digital). Also great use of AR to bring large experiments into lecture. Plus need to re-do entire uni software stack!!

@neilmosley5 The original blog seems to be aligned with the idea that lectures change in response to an accumulation of technology, rather than obsoleted by succession of technology (else printing press invention would have been logical end of lectures) as argued here doi.org/10.21240/mpaed…

"it is more advisable for students to just watch and listen to the live lecture, paying attention to all of the episodic sensory indicators and following the explanations, and then take notes when they re-watch the lecture in the LMS" #highereducation buff.ly/3LAivXi

I’m prof/researcher of digital learning design for 20y (Germany, Sweden, USA). I moved back to Europe, now Vice President, co-build a totally new university #UTN adopting research knowledge to design for digital learning experiences — What are most important recommendations?

@TimothyDrysdale @SaschaVor This sounds super innovative. Maybe we both should meet in Zoom and share details ? I'd like to know more about your approach and experience. Maybe UTN can "copy" or learn from your project? (I will contact you)
