#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...
Q3 - How can digital leaders support equity and inclusion?
What are the challenges and opportunities?

A2 - I've had formal roles in 'digital leadership' but I also recognise that I have informal ones too. From sharing and showing other people practical ways to develop their digital skills to influencing for digital change in all kinds of spaces. #LTHEchat #digitalleadership

So I've been reading the Post-16 Education and Skills White Paper. There's some good things in there. But when it comes to universities there's very little to cheer. The situation is very tough and will get worse. The last chance to preserve what we've got has passed. Let me explain why. (1/?)

Where now for Britain’s Universities?
