The final report launched this week for our work looking at VR for training - it was as effective as face to face and we offer some insights into the key features of the design - it was an amazing QUT team @selentrky @_jamesar @alburden_io Gavin Winter and all the many others!

As a member of the parliamentary committee investigating long COVID, may I make 2 points;

1. There are no current data on the incidence or prevalence of long COVID in this country. No-one is collecting that data.

2. The committee is unlikely to report before Feb-March 2023.

@petergoodyear Ohhhh - I’m not convinced I taught you very much at all… but the coffee (that you never let me buy) and all 567484 stories were the absolute best training in how to think about making sense of working in universities and seeing the bigger context of our work.

I've reviewed a number of manuscripts recently that claim this is an under-researched and/or under-theorised area.

Paul Temple (fairly) made that point in 2008. His review paper now has over 300 citations. That's one place to start.

For all the people that think they are bad at responding to emails:
I emailed a professor 12 years ago asking about source recommendations for a paper I was writing for a class during my undergrad. He replied to my email TODAY.

Christopher Alexander had a huge influence in many fields, not least in educational design. I am so glad to have encountered his work and ideas.

Our 'Mapping data in the home' project led by @lucipangrazio is looking for parents/guardians of children aged 0-8 years in Victoria to participate in a survey to help us understand more about digital data in households. Find more info and the survey here: https://t.co/YXcMgz4jzt
