Great to meet Jo Wilkinson at her @HogFriendly virtual stall at the #MSSC21 last weekend! Stall designed and laid out by @LucyTallents with the materials Jo provided. A great project, worth supporting

[Hedgehog Friendly Campus @HogFriendly]

Happy to be at the @Mammal_Society Spring Conference today!

Students can claim a free @HogFriendly starter pack if you come and say hi 👋 🙌 #MSSC21

[VerdantLearn @verdantlearn]

The virtual space created by @LucyTallents for the @Mammal_Society's Spring Conference included an exhibition gallery for Mammal Photographer of the Year competition. Truly beautiful images of wild mammals, embedded into the conference space for viewing at leisure #MPOY21 #MSSC21

Teaching experience and domain knowledge allow you to do so much more than just create learning materials, but sometimes it's hard to remember that when you're under time pressure writing courses, as @LucyTallents acknowledges in her latest blogpost

[Lucy Tallents @LucyTallents]

Moving to open educational practices intensifies my internal debate about my value as an educator, and challenges me to disentangle my teaching identity from the learning materials that I create https://t.co/kQ9Bc2ahb5

[VerdantLearn @verdantlearn]

@LucyTallents writes about the potential benefits of releasing online learning materials as #OER to support diversity and inclusion in #wildlife #conservation practice, especially in these troubled times

[Lucy Tallents @LucyTallents]

I made the radical decision to base my startup @VerdantLearn on #openeducation principles, releasing course materials as #OER. Here I explain what motivates me to create OER for #biodiversity conservation https://t.co/kQ9Bc2ahb5 I would love to hear from anyone else doing this!

[VerdantLearn @verdantlearn]

@LucyTallents clarifies what openness means to her when talking about learning, content and technology

[Lucy Tallents @LucyTallents]

'Open' has different meanings in the context of education, technology and business. In my 2nd post on open education, I dig into what I mean by open, exploring the difference between 'libre' and 'gratis', and why that distinction matters for @VerdantLearn https://t.co/5dZ9122OyR

[VerdantLearn @verdantlearn]

VerdantLearn's founder @LucyTallents writes about the idea of placing open education principles at the core of our work

[Lucy Tallents @LucyTallents]

Inspired by conversations about social justice & openness in education, tech and startups, my blog series on open education begins with my realisation that I can place open principles at the heart of my startup, but what are the implications?https://t.co/0gDxtIQt4k #openeducation

[VerdantLearn @verdantlearn]

One week in to my new #ExploreELearning short course for @OxfordConted, and I think I'm finally getting the hang of facilitating virtual group formation following a brainstorming session! It helps that you can change a @padlet format halfway through, to re-organise ideas

@science_hitch is presenting on citizen science for virtual learning in ecology and conservation at the @BES_TLSIG #fieldworkfix

@EsraaSalah36 This is a resource rather than an answer, but when learning Swedish, I found https://t.co/DxS1fVTtwp really helpful, in addition to learning the International Phonetic Alphabet. For common words/place names @forvo had regional variations, or at least a range of pronunciations

[VerdantLearn @verdantlearn]

@LucyTallents co-hosted a careers webinar given by Sarah Blackford @BiosciCareer for the @SAGEXNetwork. It's always good to connect with skilled and enthusiastic junior researchers

[Sarah Blackford SFHEA @BiosciCareer]

It was great to have the opportunity to tutor on the @SAGEXNetwork career webinar today with @verdantlearn. #PhD Theoretical Physicists have a lot of excellent skills and qualities that are highly applicable within and outside of academia.

Video and resources now available from the capacity building session facilitated by @LucyTallents, part of the @MyWildHub Festival 2020 #WildHubCB4C
