just tuned into @cerysmatthews.bsky.social & (half asleep) heard her talking about ‘ella’ so assumed it would lead to a bit of Ms Fitzgerald

was definitely not expecting Rihanna to jump out of the radio (but a pleasant surprise - just a brilliant song)

Books . Music. Happy on the end of a rope. Sometimes. Programme radio shows - BBC , and sometimes out and about.

The bluebird has flown the nest.

To paraphrase QT, Threads is dead baby. Threads is dead.

LinkedIn has become surprisingly engaging.

This place looks promising too. Will give it a proper go this time.

If you missed our talk at #ALTC24 yesterday on defining hybrid learning (or want more detail!) the full write-up is here via preprint.
New preprint from me and @jillymackay.bsky.social We investigated how HE staff use the terms blended, hybrid, & hyflex learning. First, we asked ppts to provide a definition of each and then a categorisation task where they had to assign definitions to a category.

as I make a long overdue return to this space, a quick thanks to @suebecks.bsky.social for the LEGO mini me that I’m using as my profile pic

(not seen in a tie quite so often nowadays but definitely seen very regularly carrying my latest vinyl purchase!)

not many things make me proud to be British but the performance of GB’s athletes at the Paralympics is super impressive (& clearly the result of genuine investment/support)
