A6 Digital leadership acts within, and informed by, teaching, learning and assessment. It is not separate. It is not "just techy stuff". It has to understand what it is to educate and be educated, and it has to care for the experience of educators and students alike. It takes earnt trust. #lthechat
Q6 - If you could change one thing about how digital leadership is understood or enacted in education, what would it be?

#LTHEchat A6 I would wish that change was not drive by tech qua tech, but a drive for active, playful and creative TLA - with beautiful learning spaces online and IRL. That we could be experimental and cooperative - and kind.

A5 Culture is who we are, how we work, and what we do, and I try to show up as my whole self, to be a full colleague, to be honest, realistic, on my Faculty's side, and to be kind. It helps, when there are complex and challenging digital pills to swallow and processes to learn. #lthechat
Q5 - How does culture shape digital leadership, and how do you influence that culture in your role?

#LTHEchat A5 Big bugbear is that there is still a distinction between digital people and teaching people: we are all digital now - and we should all be able to choose the right tools for the job (which could be Lego or collage materials). Top down insistence on digital excludes agency & ownership

#LTHEchat A3 Education is a space of haves and have nots, of insiders and outsiders - we need to recognise systemic exclusions and work to welcome everybody in to education... It wld be good to talk about appropriate technolgy - which sometimes means paper and coloured pens...

#LTHEchat A3 I am a teacherin HE in a postdigital world - we are all digital participants. As I teach teachers, perhaps I am a 'leader' - but a sceptical one, and informed by pedagogy. Why do we expect students to be critical, but the grasping of tech to be so unquestioning?

#LTHEchat A1 Leadership in education has become problematic, w leaders becoming managers who develop strategies that now shape our pedagogy. Digital ldrshp was interesting cos it seemed the 1st time policies were introduced w no research or evidence base: there was just TEL, and it was a good thing

#LTHEchat A6 At least one assignment can be more creative and reflective - perhaps capturing thoughts and feelings not just on the what of a course but the why and how of it as well?
Q6 - What evidence or feedback mechanisms might be used to evaluate the impact of innovative teaching conceptualisations - such as “superpowers” - on learner confidence, engagement, and academic output?
