This was quite an interesting survey to complete! It did unexpectedly switch to German language in the numerical task section but I've contacted the owner about this glitch and am sure it will be resolved.

As lots of new and returning students get into the swing of studies this week and next, next week's Awareness campaign is very timely. @univofstandrews will be on the case for sure, thru colleagues in Student Support.

HUGELY useful and insightful day 5 Mar with colleagues from all corners of the SLD and ed-tech sectors working on how to engage, connect, share and optimise what we're all working on. Let's keep these interactions going, build cohesion, and help shape policy.

'What do toddlers really know?' Sounds like a great PhD topic opening at Ulster Uni. We would LOVE to know!

[Victoria Simms @ProfVicSimms]

Come and do a #phd with me! I’m nice and supportive - promise!!!
