🤝It's #RandomActsOfKindnessDay 🧹Somtimes being kind can get brushed aside, in favour of what is urgent.

💚But taking time to be kind to other people can make you feel good, help reduce stress & be beneficial for your own emotional wellbeing: https://t.co/u3xOlT4VfO

An important role and a fantastic leadership opportunity for someone ..... @leedsteaching

Delighted to discover that Simone Buitendijk is to be our next VC; this looks like a great appointment (well matched to our 'values') to further extend our 'excellence' here in Leeds!

[University of Leeds @UniversityLeeds]

Welcome to Professor Simone Buitendijk, who has been appointed as our next Vice-Chancellor.

[Kelvin Tapley @KTapley1]

This may be of interest and resonate with many, including members (both students & staff) at The Uni of Leeds, such as @AbihaKhanLUU and @leedsteaching !

Next week, we'll release a new book in our #OpenAccess series: The Power of Partnership, edited by @sophia_abbot and @LucyMercerMaps

Joined an estimated 11,999 humans today at the #ClimateStrike walking through #Leeds (and millions around the planet). Surely we should all, at least occasionally(!), think more about others (including those still to be born)? Individual & collective actions #AFutureForAll ?

[Kelvin Tapley @KTapley1]

Article that colleagues in @leedsteaching (and others - including those involved with collaborative writing projects!) might find useful!

[Kelly Matthews @kellymatthewsUQ]

Writing scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) articles for peer-reviewed journals - practical guidance w/deeper argument about values and identities in writing about #SoTL
Fun to co-write it w/@MickHealey3 and Alison Cook-Sather;)

[Kelvin Tapley @KTapley1]

Great mix of Student Education-related articles from @leedsteaching ! Why not check them out .... if you haven't already done so!?

[Kelvin Tapley @KTapley1]

@Parkendlydia In addition to previous comments, don't forget 'stagecraft' and how best to 'work your room' (including knowing your venue set up and facilities in advance)!

[Kelvin Tapley @KTapley1]

Pleased to have submitted a reflective article on the @leedsteaching International Collaborative Writing Retreat that I co-organised recently in Bilbao. Hopefully to be published in the next issue of the (Leeds) Student Education Bulletin ... coming soon ...! #GreatCollaborations

[Kelvin Tapley @KTapley1]

You're not the only one @helenauea ! Plus if discussions on 'E-marking' at the "SLP Academic Advisory Group" early this week are anything to go by you won't be disappointed .... unless you expect lots of answers .... still much that is unknown/lacks evidence!

[Prof. Helena Gillespie @helenauea]

Really looking forward to this today - I’ve built in lots of discussion time so hope @leedsteaching colleagues are coming primed with questions (and maybe a few answers?)

[Kelvin Tapley @KTapley1]

This is something that was mentioned at @issotl18 in Bergen and a number of Scholars were keen to pursue further. I even considered it (eg. producing ‘a compendium of instructive / useful SoTL failures’), but already quite a few people in the SoTL area are considering this!

[Kelvin Tapley @KTapley1]

I attended an event just like this, at the same venue, a few years ago. Very useful to have the time, space, support and focus to develop ones own Scholarship of Teaching & Learning / Teaching & Learning Inquiry / Pedagogic Research !!

[Kelvin Tapley @KTapley1]

Could be of interest to @leedsteaching colleagues and potentially to participants on the LITE International Collaborative Writing project!!?

[Teach&Learn Inquiry @TLI_ISSOTL]

Come see our new look! https://t.co/CC2bOM4zDz Let us know what you think!
Same great home page, lots of changes to improve reading, submitting, & reviewing!
Thanks to @ACHurrell, @katconf & other folk at @UCalgaryLibrary who host our journal, & TLI & PAC folks for testing it!

[Kelvin Tapley @KTapley1]

Great crowds in the Great Hall for the Introducing Leeds talks I gave @UniversityLeeds Open Day today & such a fantastic buzz around campus!

[Peter Felten @pfeltenNC]

#EuroSoTL19 panel echoes Bernstein “While being active in SoTL has clear & significant benefits for the individuals participating we should not underestimate or ignore the benefits of SoTL activity for the institutions in which those faculty members work” https://t.co/3fYgC5E22e

[Kelvin Tapley @KTapley1]

Good interest about our Collaborative Writing Retreat project at #EuroSoTL19 ! Some universities wanting to adopt for their staff!

[Kelvin Tapley @KTapley1]

Thanks @mandrakenoor I really enjoyed the talk and some interesting work!

[Nurun Nahar 🇧🇩🇬🇧 @mandrakenoor]

It's house full! Some brilliant questions and thoughts from the audience following a presentation on engaging #StudentsAsPartners for #curriculum #redesign #Delivery and #digitalliteracy #EuroSoTL19 @ISSOTL @eurosotl19 @duncan_cross

[Kelvin Tapley @KTapley1]

@discovery_leeds @leedsteaching surely it's what academics / professionals in HE should b doing!!? Reflecting / thinking & advancing HE!!?

[Kelvin Tapley @KTapley1]

Groups @leedsteaching ICWR doing some detailed project planning for the next stages after the retreat part has finished.
