Useful thread of tips on getting your alt text right.

Useful overview for our colleagues with Kahoot licences.

I worked with the Dept Ed Lead from Manchester Fashion Institute & pals from @manmetdigied.bsky.social to provide guidance around constructive alignment & effective rubrics this week! Both can be a challenge in creative disciplines so it's vital that context insights shape our conversations💐

Save the date: Tuesday, 6–Friday, 9 May - another round of Adobe Education Institute (AEI), for HE staff at Adobe Creative Campuses, focussed on Adobe Express. It's a series of live, hands-on sessions, to discover ways to simplify workflows, and foster student engagement and multi-modal teaching.

A reminder that Manchester Met is now an Adobe Creative Campus. Man Met colleagues who are interested in learning more, please contact one of our team, and also sign up to the Creative Campus Newsletter - it's usually full of ideas and CPD opportunities www.hed.adobecreativepartner-edu.com/subscribe

At the Digital Me session this week, Dr. Rod Cullen explored how assessment spans our DELTA Learning Spaces Framework, with most coursework taking place in informal and virtual learning spaces, so our institutional principles of digital flexibility should inform our approach to supporting students.

A reminder about how best to manage your hashtags - start each new word with a capital letter.

And a call for contributions to the Manchester Met Active Learning Spectrum. Man Met colleagues, if you have experience of active learning approaches within your teaching, @stuparkin.bsky.social and Jack Sutherst in the Digital Education team would love to speak to you.

Really helpful overview of the Associate Innovation Scholar scheme at Manchester Met 2025-26 from @manmetuta.bsky.social. Great to hear from our team member Stuart Parkin @stuparkin.bsky.social reflecting on his role as an Associate Scholar 2024-25, working on the Man Met Active Learning Spectrum.

@owenmarie.bsky.social and Andrew Larner from the Digital Education team enjoyed attending this second Jisc Adobe Transforming Together session last week. Many thanks to @cbthomson.bsky.social, Zac Gribble and @catbeelearny.bsky.social. Great to share ideas with colleagues from other institutions.

Jisc's @mwebb.bsky.social initial top level advice on #Deepseek nationalcentreforai.jiscinvolve.org/wp/2025/01/2... #AIEd

This looks like an interesting webinar for colleagues interested in learning design and change management.
