I had the pleasure of sharing my team’s work on best practice in rubric use at today’s Faculty Learning & Teaching session. Clearer, fairer marking benefits everyone. #HigherEd #Rubrics #Assessment

Last week was our GTA awards. Lots of wonderful teaching assistants being recognised for their hard work and enthusiasm.

Huge congratulations to my colleague Matteo Di Benedetti on winning a coveted Leadership in Education Award! His impact on promoting pedagogical research has been truly inspiring. So well deserved!

Today I'm at Birmingham Uni for another Practice Exchange. Sharing innovation in engineering education and looking for opportunities to collaborate.

It was a lot of fun yesterday to host Sheffield Hallam University for an Engineering Education Practice Exchange. Lots of ideas and opportunities for collaboration.

"Although 43,665 people applied to Sheffield in 2024, this is less than 2023, when 43,665 people applied."

Lovely, engaging but busy day showing delegates from UCL round the engineering and wider campus.

Prompt of the day.

Sometimes part of my job is just going outside to take picture of a dropped kerb.

F**k off Brian! We're the people's assembly of crookes.

Looks like there is a branch of the Russian secret service in Sheffield.
