@IBILTAInc @Kahoot You piqued my competitive streak

Ian @solfella takes out the @Kahoot quiz in the Collaborative Learning workshop #IBILTA23. Well done Ian!

@IBILTAInc #IBILTA23 Fascinating and salient opening address and congratulations to all on getting the conference going. Just wondered if there is a list of registrations anywhere - would be interesting to know who's participating and form where...

Pleased to have visited @UL and the terrific @ULatWork initiative to describe and discuss the curriculum and organisation innovations associated with the VU Block Model @victoriauninews @MJHsays @Burke_Sinead youtube.com/watch?v=OXeyd9…

@s_palm @ULatWork @Burke_Sinead @MJHsays Truly inspirational Stuart ul.ie/gps/ulwork

@solfella @ULatWork @Burke_Sinead @MJHsays Was able to pay a visit in 2018. The scale of the work-integrated learning program was mind-boggling.

Goodbye Limerick! Really enjoyed working with @ULatWork and everyone that made it happen. Terrific conversations about the future of education and industry for a better world. Until next time - on’ya from Australia! @Burke_Sinead @MJHsays #ULTHE

At @Dell Innovation Labs, Limerick hearing about industry-university collaboration and education co-design for competency based education in cybersecurity and other industries @SkillnetIreland @ULatWork

One of the most creative, innovative, loyal colleagues I’ve ever worked with is open to new opportunities👇👇👇👇👇

@kvbeth I’d give you a job in a heartbeat if I had one to give. You’ll be a terrific hire for anyone that has the sense to hire you. Your work for VU has been outstandingly impactful - and I hope that’s some sort of testimonial! On’ya Kati.

@trilia @ashfordrowe My PhD research suggested that a 'mature' student, 'matured' around age 25 some time after most 'adults' go to uni. I dropped out from uni at 18 - no cultural capital, didn't fit in etc. - went back at 29 and loved every minute.

@ashfordrowe Agree, but as an 18yr old Irish Catholic female (back then) I was culturally conditioned to remain in my box and feel like an inferior, beholden idiot. Being an adult meant you could get married and start producing babies. Being any kind of learner never really came into it!☘️

Pedantic point I acknowledge @trilia but, aren’t all Uni students #adultlearners by default?

@s_palm Late to this party but now got Talking Heads ear worms for the day. Thanks for the memories. What a show! PS. Still here, just lurking.

I don't know if you are still on here @solfella, but: astortheatre.net.au/sessions/2022-…

I had the humbling honour of leading the collective design & change management that made it possible. A critical failing situation in 2016 to a uni back on its feet & better, the success of equity students - we can now say it did what it was designed to do #DesignThinking @trilia

Huge congratulations to my friend and former boss @PeterDawkinsAO on winning the AFR Education Lifetime Achievement Award. A richly deserved recognition for innovation and leadership in education. And a thoroughly nice person too! @victoriauninews @FinancialReview

I've come out of Twitter exile to heartily congratulate @victoriauninews Block Model on winning the 2021 AFR Award for Learning & Teaching. Big shout out to @trila @AndrewSmallridg @PeterDawkinsAO @AdamShoemakerVC & all who made it possible. Just. Awesome. Work. @FinancialReview

Student experience in the age of the customer home.kpmg/au/en/home/ins… << agreed, student experience is multi-faceted but not sure I need a formula SX=LX+PX+CX. Nevertheless, I'm sure those more process orientated will love it. Some code switching required. via @Michael_Milgate

@kvbeth @trilia @ConnectedVU @victoriauninews That’s brilliant! Frame it.

@trilia @ConnectedVU @victoriauninews Omg this is so good!!!! And so TRUE!!!!!!!!!!! 💯💯💯💯💕🏆🏆🏆

Kicking this down the road to amplify the need for a deep dive on a complex paradigm - circle back to me to engage in a high level, constructive dialogue on this critical issue. We can double down on a collaborative research article to drive future academic enhancement 😬🤯🤓

Connected Leaning @ConnectedVU have teamed up with @victoriauninews College of Arts & Ed to produce the new industry orientated Graduate Certificate of Digital Learning & Teaching. More info on the course & subsidised fee's here: vu.edu.au/courses/gradua…
