I haven’t shot, graded and edited video footage for such a long time - this was an idea I had for my band’s video that I was able to run with, it bought the joy of video production back. Shot in #anamorphic on a #fujifilm xh2s - graded and edited in DaVinci resolve

This is my second post on Programme design. Here I talk about Safe Spaces. Happy to discuss more with anybody interested!
Creating Safe Spaces in Programme Design Workshops
"All the information I got from the other departments is gold" - workshop attendee In this post I'm going to explore the first stage of a five stage process that I use within a programme design workshop a lot of this work is based on Gilly Salmon's 'Carpe Diem' approach.

I don't really enjoy writing blog posts, but this is the first of two discussing programme level design. It's mostly opinion, definitely not the best writing but hopefully you get the gist.
3 Essential Principles for Programme Design
I recently delivered a CPD talk for the Association for Learning Technology, in it I discussed approaches to programme-level design. I thought it would be good to put together some further ideas around what I discussed so people have something they can reference. This is the first of two posts, in this post I cover some of the justification for an approach to programme design, in the second I'll outline tools and techniques that can be used to explore a programme with stakeholders.

Having a walk before I head over to @jisc.bsky.social for the beyond blended pilot launch - @puiyin.bsky.social dared me for this selfie 🤣
Started recording the second Bobhowla album today - intense piano playing from me - took until it was dark and there was a nice glow I. The studio to get the right vibe - tomorrow - guitar guitar guitar!
Working for a university - students pushing a giant inflatable lobster, chanting “lobster lobster lobster” - nobody knows why … I love it 🤣

Don’t you just love post-conference “sorry we missed you” marketing emails
While not perfect, I am impressed with the updates to UDL, now version 3.0, taking a more intersectional approach to inclusive practice, something that my research is finding missing in day-to-day approaches to Inclusivity. We just need a better UKHE research base. udlguidelines.cast.org

Fawn saying we should be excited about accessibility - it should be a “cyberpunk futuristic thing” with the possibilities - love this way of thinking #ALTC24
Fawn telling us that AI is more patient than a neurotypical person when paraphrasing for understanding by neurodivergent students. #ALTc24
“Radical pedagogy must insist that everyone’s presence is acknowledged…There must be an ongoing recognition that everyone influences the classroom dynamic, that everyone contributes” (bell hooks, 2014)
ALTUK.bsky.social@altuk.bsky.social · 2y agoPiers advises us to make sure the chair is not the most senior person in the room - the most senior person shouldn't get to decide who speaks. #ALTc24
Piers Wilkinson emphasising the need for openness and conversation about how physical and digital accessibility go hand in hand. Saying we need to acknowledge limitations and identify where the issues are with disabled students. #ALTC24
