#ACODELTLI25 kicking off the 2025 event, everyone already hard at work 😉 Looking forward to a great week in Mooloolaba.

“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.” Kurt Vonnegut, Mother Night

A powerful quote that has resonated for many years. Interesting to reflect on it again in light of the potential offered by AI to help us “pretend” in new and different ways…

Great weather in Auckland for today’s ACODE Australasia workshop creating a new benchmark focused on accessibility. Looking forward to some thoughtful presentations and great engagement with colleagues. Thanks to our hosts at UoA.

Had a great chat recently with Professor Danny Liu on AI and its implications for universities. Great to explore this complex space as we all try to navigate the uncertainty and rapid change. Remarkable where biochemists end up 😉

Just as we're grappling with complex challenges triggered by technological change our Government chooses to remove funding from the areas that most likely will provide real, people-oriented responses to the resulting impact these are having on our society

Great to be so many colleagues today learning from each other about their learning and teaching work at the 2024 Ako Victoria Symposium

Great to see so many colleagues engaging with learning and teaching at #TERNZ2024 here at Te Herenga Waka.

I still remember the look of horror on the face of a Professorial colleague when I spoke about playing video games myself for relaxation...👾
