Our table discussion yielded the excellent point that student engagement can fail by overstructuring - in a worst case we're forcing students into a rote performance of engagement theater -and we have to maintain a sense of authenticity that plays to our own strengths as lecturers.

In our panel on student engagement, our student union rep is discussing the factors contributing to student isolation ("the loneliness epidemic"), particularly in the midst of a housing crisis where just getting to campus can be challenging. We need to give them a reason to be (and STAY) on campus.

Feeling VERY called out by Celeste Auge's Gasta polemic on the incoherent inconsistency of formatting in online learning spaces. Her team is issuing a style guide on writing for the internet for ID's and instructors. #EdTechIE24

Prof. Martin Oliver of UCL asks us to consider ‘little’ futures that are within the reach of all of us that may open pathways to ‘bigger’ futures. Whilst we might not agree on which of these that are ‘good’, we need to work out how to accommodate different interests in practice. #edtechie24

I've enjoyed a tweet-free online life post-Elon. It's done wonders for my cognitive health (and given me much more idle time for online chess). However, at long last, and with great reticence, I'm charting a very tentative exploratory expedition over here in the New World. Not making any promises. 🫣
