@sbuckshum @R3beccaF Exactly increased equality from language tech innovations leading to a focus on the ideas. So many evaluations have focused on superficial writing skills and not the ideas, progress and innovation.

@R3beccaF I would say No. A Best Paper requires excellent presentation even to be in the running, but is awarded for its outstanding ideas and arguments, methods or technology. The future is one in which first language becomes irrelevant thanks to language tech.

We are looking for academic expertise for two new and important fellowship projects. Find out more in the thread, and here: bit.ly/3scbGU0 ~Sarah F, Siobhán and Sarah CB

@mweller Can you really serve after dying - unless your a zombie?

@IETatOU @OpenUniversity In the world surely - name one that is older elsewhere? As IET Trained the worlds leading Ed Tech academics.

Did you know? The @OpenUniversity's Computers and Learning Research Group (CALRG) is one of the UK’s leading and longest-running research groups in educational technology. If you have a project exploring the use of technologies in education, get in touch to present your work!

Just been officially appointed Parliamentary Academic Fellow for POST, Palace of Westminster. Developing their new Horizon / Foresight Scanning approaches.

Street party having fun

@TristanSnell Our prime minister apparently couldn’t even recall what the laws were when he was implementing them. THATS his defence for partygate.

If you can't recall your own tweets, can't recall your own TV appearances, can't recall your own speeches, can't recall your own phone calls, and can't recall trying to organize an illegal effort to overturn an election, then maybe you should be recalled from Congress.

@lesleyboyd @OUGradSch @OU_WELS @IETatOU Well deserved you worked tirelessly to achieve your goal

Very thrilled to share that I defended my thesis this afternoon, and passed with minor corrections. I’m very grateful for the insights and contributions of my examiners, and we had a fantastic viva together. Thank you to all. ⁦@OUGradSch⁩ ⁦@OU_WELS⁩ ⁦@IETatOU⁩

@joinson Interesting that in 1952 thousand died in London frim smoke combined with fog (smog) 2022 pollution still here

What next - WEATHER WARNING we have mild, damp hurricane coming our way.

When systems and language contradicts - how can a delay be both significant and minor - is our technology becoming good at ‘spin’

@MitchBenn During a local elections one conservative stated; Everyone can send their children to private school they just need to make cut backs, sell the second car. I’ve seen children in the UK starving and not having shoes, they live in another world.

The sheer blithe ignorance of these people is just breathtaking. I should be used to it by now but it never ceases to amaze and appal.

@KateEMcCann @APHClarkson @BethRigby I assume it went something like this.

@BBC_HaveYourSay I also have covid horror stories of family dying alone, watching funeral videos etc. But my question hasn’t been asked yet. Why was Downing Street full of workers, they don’t need to operate on people so everyone could and should have been working from home.

@actualham Sounds like it would be constructive dismissal - in the UK legal system. They put you in an untenable position with only resignation being the only solution. Crazy thing is that this doesn’t make people or the workplace more effective, just more observable.

@sueperkins PM is either - liar and so shouldn’t run this country OR incompetent not knowing what’s going on with his team so shouldn’t run this country. I’d say he’s both.

GET. THEM. OUT.

@derekjrobertson Well done Derek you winner

@nicwhitton Innovation is 70% failure so this proves you are a true innovator and it will take time for them to catch up with you.

In the spirit of destigmatising #failure I am disappointed to share that my application for promotion this year was unsuccessful. I've had an internal rant, now time to get over it, learn from it, and do something different next time.
