Postcards from a ‘sandpit’ about motivation.
Participants playing ‘hook the duck’ - an AI literacy game
An illustration of the event.
🦊 Finally, a thanks to Nifty Fox Creative for their fantastic live scribes.
A huge thank you to all the speakers, facilitators and participants for making this event a success. The engaging sessions encouraged us to think differently about our approaches and hopes for the future of education. 3/3

🏖️ We explored 'sandpits' - playful spaces designed to encourage innovative thinking.
📣 And 'soapboxes' - provocations on crucial topics such as teaching (or co-learning!), assessment and AI, wellbeing, learner analytics, & co-creation with students.

@leannefitton.bsky.social keeping things going after our second soapbox
@mairbull.bsky.social from @manmetuta.bsky.social kicking off our exciting Innovation Symposium - a fairground of active learning, soapboxes, activity and collaboration. Should be a great session
Really enjoyed facilitating this session: we co-created a piece of art that encapsulates the values of The Collective (a community of practice) at Mcr Met Uni. Such a wonderful atmosphere as everyone worked together.

Thoroughly enjoyed @comefromaway.bsky.social at the The Lowry theatre this weekend. Such a stunning production 👏
You were missed Chris! Hope you’re on the mend, wishing you well 🤞
Celebrating the year gone by. An absolutely brilliant team that I’m lucky to be part of: Centre for Learning Enhancement & Educational Development (LEED)

It felt like a @wonkhe.bsky.social kind of sock day
*context… these are socks Wonkhe gave out at the Festival of HE. Great conference stash 👏
Nice to hear from students 👏 Knowing how to use the tools is only a tiny part of AI literacy. A big thing that educators in HE can support students with is to be critical of the outputs. Luckily, that needs skills that HE is already well equipped to teach. wonkhe.com/blogs/access...
We're now on Bluesky and to celebrate we're delighted to launch our new podcast series: Let's talk about student success.
This month, join us as we explore Student Access, Retention, Mattering and Belonging.

NEW on Wonkhe: What do awarding gaps really tell us about the experiences and outcomes of students with vastly different circumstances? For Katharine Hubbard, the current metrics leave a lot to be desired https://buff.ly/3B213uL
Great to deliver a workshop on evaluation today with wonderful colleague Valeria. The session was for our Innovation Scholars who are running exciting change projects across the university #innovation #HE #creativity
Yesterday, I attended a fantastic workshop on creativity and innovation in leadership. It involved wheres wally, a magic wand, a treasure hunt and postcards! Left feeling inspired to have more fun. Thank you @mairbull.bsky.social and John Lean 🤩👏🏻
Aw only just seen this! Thanks Leanne, so glad you enjoyed it 🙌🤩
