A) what you hope to gain out of the 23 Things programme. I currently work as a Programme Secretary. Part of my role is to help maintain VLE (Learn and Moodle) platforms and to advise staff and students in the use of these. I hope to gain skills and knowledge that will aid me in this. Beyond… Continue reading Thing 2 – Write a blog post and tag it. →

Thing 2: Blogging
This is the post excerpt.
Thing 5: Diversity
I have to confess that I didn’t see a downside to the new shades of emoji that were released by Apple. However, having read Paige Tutt’s article How Apple’s new multicultural emojis are more racist than before, I can see that the emojis could cause problems. You have to feel sorry for companies like Apple: […]

Thing 5 – the bitmoji and discrimination
Its me as a bitmoji with a crab…. Well, I have made a mini me – it has glasses and brown hair so I guess it looks a bit like me, I got bored by the time I reached the clothes so they are not that representative and ‘my’ legs look really thin but maybe … Continue reading Thing 5 – the bitmoji and discrimination
The Handbook and the Guidelines
I have read both of the following and had the following thoughts about the two documents: The Social Media Guidelines for Staff and Researchers – a useful starting point for any staff or members of the university who want to use social media to discuss their work. It highlighted a number of key areas that need to … Continue reading The Handbook and the Guidelines
23 Things: Bonus Thing A – About Me page
Consider creating a definitive ‘About Me page’. This is a space where you can tell the world who you are, what you do, where your interests lie, and link your online presences all together in the one place. This one’s easy. I’ve got an about me page right here lornamcampbell.org/about-2/ I first posted this page in […]
First blog post

23 Things: Thing 4 Digital Security
So Thing 4 is all about checking your digital security and privacy settings. This isn’t actually something I’ve done before but I’m glad I didn’t have any nasty surprises. I actually don’t use many apps, I tend not to link them together, I don’t turn on location services unless it’s absolutely necessary and I keep bluetooth […]
23 Things: Thing 3 or why I am conflicted about digital footprints…
Thing 3 is all about your Digital Footprint …. I don’t often google myself but when I do, I do so with some trepidation. Thankfully if you google lorna m campbell you get a fairly innocuous footprint. The top six hits are: My blog. Rather annoyingly it’s my old blog on wordpress.com, rather than my new blog […]
Thing 4
Digital security is something I think I’m fairly comfortable with. Having read the Smartphone Security Information I was happy that I was on top of most of the suggestions and advice, although the thing I find most frustrating is having to constantly monitor the security of my digital devices. Updates, whilst generally good for security, can also … Continue reading “Thing 4”
things to include
I am participating in the University of Edinburgh digital skills course ‘23 things for digital knowledge‘. Thing 5 is about diversity. As well as being one of the ISG change themes through which we are looking at our organisation and changing it to be fit for the future, equality and diversity is part of a …
