I haven’t shot, graded and edited video footage for such a long time - this was an idea I had for my band’s video that I was able to run with, it bought the joy of video production back.

Today’s exclusive news is that the official video drop for EMBERS is tonight @ 6PM 🔥
It’s been a labour of love, from concept to edit - an in-house affair we’re super proud of.

This is my second post on Programme design. Here I talk about Safe Spaces. Happy to discuss more with anybody interested!

I don't really enjoy writing blog posts, but this is the first of two discussing programme level design. It's mostly opinion, definitely not the best writing but hopefully you get the gist.
3 Essential Principles for Programme Design
I recently delivered a CPD talk for the Association for Learning Technology, in it I discussed approaches to programme-level design. I thought it would be good to put together some further ideas around what I discussed so people have something they can reference. This is the first of two posts, in this post I cover some of the justification for an approach to programme design, in the second I'll outline tools and techniques that can be used to explore a programme with stakeholders.

While not perfect, I am impressed with the updates to UDL, now version 3.0, taking a more intersectional approach to inclusive practice, something that my research is finding missing in day-to-day approaches to Inclusivity.
We just need a better UKHE research base.
