Not necessarily one of the wisest decisions taken at the University of Oxford, I fear.

The NOC has once again been rated highly for how it uses technology to improve patient care.

We have been reaccredited with a Stage 6 ranking on the EMR Adoption and Maturity scale, the second highest rating by the international Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society.

I’m sorry but if your students use AI to write papers and you use AI to grade them zero school is happening. You are running together on a hamster wheel
Why even have a brain, any ideas, any ability to express them, any kind of communication with other people, any desire to solve problems or invent anything, any reason to learn, any use for your eyes or your heart, or any reason to teach or create

Sharing this paper I worked on with one of my PhD students, Matt, last year. Grasshoppers have "teeth" and it is possible to quantify their shape like in mammals using dental topographic analysis!

The core trilma here remains the same - the govt needs to accept one of three things: high student migration, higher domestic student fees (or higher taxes to fund universities) or university bankruptcies. Those are the only options, given where we are. Pick one.
The UK government is proposing to finally finish off its universities by further tightening the terms of the graduate visa route. The stupid fools. Playing with dangers they don't even understand. www.ft.com/content/f441...

The redundancies across our universities go far beyond the headlines, because they are using every other means to shed staff too. You can see one route to this below. The destruction of jobs is far worse than it appears. 👇
Over the past year there have been whispers about 'protected conversations' being used to make job cuts by the backdoor in HE (it's closed to submissions but the our branch survey included them: shorturl.at/leLpn). Looking at interim survey results, it seems like we should all know about them.

Across the sector there are mass job losses taking place. At some institutions facing compulsory redundancies - and at others where CR is apparently not a concern - we're also experiencing protected c...

I discovered I’d got so many different sorts of adhesives in my workshop I needed some way to organise them.

I chose the gluey-decimal classification system.
