Adrian’s thoughts on the project, his observations on #BlackLivesMatter and his plea for no more false dawns are well worth reading this afternoon. And he’s right – we all have a crucial part to play in tackling racism.

Interesting thoughts on online HE delivery & production from 🇨🇦

[Alex Usher @AlexUsherHESA]

Canadian universities are quickly running out of time to develop real meaningful online content for the Fall term. There is a solution: but only if they co-operate. My proposal for a national effort to bring everyone up to standard: https://t.co/0Q9KjXkQm5

[John Swinney @JohnSwinney]

Schools and nurseries will close from this Friday @NicolaSturgeon announces. I appreciate this will be very disruptive but it is necessary. We are working with Councils to support young people preparing for @sqanews exams, are vulnerable and whose parents are essential workers.
