@CALRGatOU Gutted that I had to miss this in the end. Was this session recorded to watch sometime?

Not only is it OpenLearn's 15th birthday, but we have just issued our 2 MILLIONTH certificate.

Thanks to every one of you that has contributed to that total, to The @OpenUniversity experts that create the courses and to all our millions of visitors.

Love this approach to new ideas - “All design processes start with some biased opinions for the possible ‘right’ direction. At New Deal Design, we use a contrarian technique through our search for the best direction—we call it the ‘dark horse’ option.” https://t.co/oCDVzaX8l5

@Register_com I can't access any of the sites hosted on you, nor can I access https://t.co/d1gFikk9Cz - Is something not working for you today?

[Dean Collins @VolumeDean]

It will be interesting to see if this will be implemented more fully to the MS design system

[Dean Collins @VolumeDean]

Big fan of the new rounded design approach taken by MS for xbox. Much prefer a calmer and more user friendly UI like this. I've always found the current sharp edges too aggressive for this UX https://t.co/sPScIg3uae

It provides insights into the usage of smart technology by students and how this varies for study and general purposes.

@RoyalMailHelp @RoyalMailHelp Once again another opened envelope. Will be filing my complaint later. Thanks

[Dean Collins @VolumeDean]

@RoyalMail What's up with post that we are receiving that have been torn and the contents being removed? This is the third time it has happened over the past couple of months. This needs reviewing.

@AnglianWater Unfortunately the website does not load. Flitwick are experiencing issues, but I can't see if this is related or not. Update would be helpful. Thanks

[Dean Collins @VolumeDean]

Big fan of micro-interactions in apps and websites. We need a website resource for all these useful interactions to consider. https://t.co/faPv0C3Jnl via @designerdepot

Designers (& developers interested in design):

I highly recommend you watch this video by @steveschoger on his approach to refactoring a UI. You will learn so much in just 40 mins. I promise you. It's such a great presentation.
