It's taken many weeks of planning with my brilliant colleague Alison Purvis to organise the 10th Social Media for Learning in HE conference with support from our amazing cross insitutional steering group.
Takes place next week and we can't wait to welcome everyone! #SocMedHE24

@MarkCritchley8 @AULC_Languages A great evening. Thank you, Mark, for all your work as AULC Chair, and all the best for the future. In these difficult times in Higher Education, it is such colleagues that make the difference and help us carry on.

[Mark Critchley @MarkCritchley8]

Thank you to @AULC_Languages colleagues for a wonderful celebration dinner yesterday evening. A fantastic group of colleagues and the most supportive network anyone could ever hope for ♥️

Just released: International Scientific Report on the Safety of Advanced AI - https://t.co/i5Qa5nIeeZ

The interim report restricts its focus to a summary of the evidence on general-purpose AI, which have advanced rapidly in recent years. https://t.co/tbFzB6yAwN

https://t.co/177Nx3djLA An interesting report and food for thoughts. Ageism rarely appears in posts relating to discrimination in the workplace. With the removal of a fixed retirement age in work contracts, is age discrimination a growing source of inequity of opportunities?

[Christine O'Leary @ChristineOLear1]

Great start to the LTSE CABS conference on GeNAI and its implications.

[Christine O'Leary @ChristineOLear1]

@ProfFiddy @CIPD @SAGEPublishers Well done!

[Christine O'Leary @ChristineOLear1]

@ProfFiddy @CharteredABS Hi Sarah,
Similarly excited. I will be there too.

All the best,

Christine
