@NoContextBrits Burp! Short and wonderfully onomatopoeic.

@davidmcgeoch9 I hated them. I found the 80s spectacularly bigoted and materialistic, and you had to look downwards every thirty seconds to avoid stepping in dog crap.

"What is clear is that students welcome the flexibility of choosing the mode of course delivery...and, I would argue..the availability of options..should be encouraged, particularly in larger courses." #highereducation https://t.co/IGnN9XRKRo

Some useful tips for adult learning referencing Manu Kapur and 'Productive Failure'. Rachel Wu's language learning tip is priceless. https://t.co/bOns6dJAgJ

‘Video lectures with system-paced pauses have been shown to significantly increase learning when compared with lectures without pauses or those that allow learner-paced pauses.’ #onlinelearning #highereducation #learning https://t.co/5ICTgdTpDD

Wonderful piece: "Hope for the Future" by @audreywatters: "Many of us are grieving; many of us are traumatized. Many of our students are grieving; many of our students are traumatized. Most, dare I say. All of us, even. Deeply and profoundly so" - and hence "Denial won't work"

@hopkinsdavid That sounds like a major achievement. Ia working with some great people and there is a lot of freedom to innovate. It could do with being a bit more organised though.
