This may or may not be my last post on Twitter... Find me in other places. Wherever you are and wherever this year may take you, to colleagues past, present and future, I wish you a #HappyNewYear and I look forward to what we will do together in #2024

Recordings from #altc23 are now available on the @A_L_T YouTube channel - your new Saturday night binge watch

It was lovely to welcome the FLAN to Leeds today. Excellent retrospective from Mike Sharples and a number of themes discussed for future research into open online learning. Contrary to the screenshot below, I was introducing DES rather than singing (MOOC themed song titles any1?)

We’re now learning about the analytics work of ⁦⁦⁦@DigEduLeeds⁩ from ⁦@mattcornock⁩ & Louise Goulsbra #leedsFLAN

New post: Why a little bit of reflection and professional learning is good for us. Renewing my @A_L_T SCMALT portfolio. Outlining a short 'learning journey' approach to reflect on planned learning, actual learning and change of practice. https://t.co/TkOKVIO6AG #altc #cpd #edtech

Before a long blog post, here's the tl:dr version on why @A_L_T #altc23 captured the moment of opportunity to lead and set a vision of inclusion for #edtech and was great for my reflections and learning this year. Thanks to all who contributed -

Great session by @UniversityLeeds who created their own ‘Family Tree’ of fictional related patients/clients for healthcare students’ case studies/PBL. Provides themed profiles of ppl for students to analyse and reflect on personal, emotional, social & health dimensions #altc23

Thanks to those who stayed to the end of #altc23 in a rather warm room and listen to my leadership reflective practice and learning. More on how I have adapted the @A_L_T Framework for Ethical Learning Technology to provide reflective leadership questions:

Thanks @A_L_T and community for a great conference and conversation. One of the best. Reconnecting and new connections. Lots of opportunities to develop. Let's keep looking forward and decide the path to take us on the journey onwards together (cue appropriate photo) #altc23

We should be up front about expectations around use of tech to avoid embarrassment of students turning up with pen and paper and flagging up laptop loans where available. Transition needs to start before they join with advice on key digital skills required #altc23

Success of quality in courses through relationships and nurturing connection - example of video to demonstrate learning value of video #altc23

Wonderful creative solutions by adapting to challenges of remote academic team to develop online courses from @HeriotWattUni @HWUDubai #altc23

Our use of language between higher education and industry needs bridging - @Satwinder_Samra #altc23

All universities have strategy... How they communicate that to the wider public varies in complexity and understanding - @Satwinder_Samra #altc23
