@IBILTAInc #IBILTA23 Fascinating and salient opening address and congratulations to all on getting the conference going.

Just wondered if there is a list of registrations anywhere - would be interesting to know who's participating and form where...

One of the most creative, innovative, loyal colleagues I’ve ever worked with is open to new opportunities👇👇👇👇👇

@kvbeth I’d give you a job in a heartbeat if I had one to give. You’ll be a terrific hire for anyone that has the sense to hire you. Your work for VU has been outstandingly impactful - and I hope that’s some sort of testimonial! On’ya Kati.

@trilia @ashfordrowe My PhD research suggested that a 'mature' student, 'matured' around age 25 some time after most 'adults' go to uni. I dropped out from uni at 18 - no cultural capital, didn't fit in etc. - went back at 29 and loved every minute.

@s_palm Late to this party but now got Talking Heads ear worms for the day. Thanks for the memories. What a show! PS. Still here, just lurking.

I had the humbling honour of leading the collective design & change management that made it possible. A critical failing situation in 2016 to a uni back on its feet & better, the success of equity students - we can now say it did what it was designed to do #DesignThinking @trilia

Implemented by my good mate ⁦@solfella⁩ at ⁦@victoriauninews⁩, I got to watch this innovation unfold. Amazing work.

Uni fail rate falls by 40% with block model of intensively learning 1 subject at a time https://t.co/klqa5deWfW

Student experience in the age of the customer https://t.co/TkAfOrmrwz << agreed, student experience is multi-faceted but not sure I need a formula SX=LX+PX+CX. Nevertheless, I'm sure those more process orientated will love it. Some code switching required. via @Michael_Milgate

@kvbeth @trilia @ConnectedVU @victoriauninews That’s brilliant! Frame it.
