It’s been a month of fantastic conferences and the gathering of excellent ideas and practices so I’m going to do my best to make note of some of the highlights from each. There was a lot to take in at ICEPOPS 2019, from music copyright, to literacy models, and my favourite section was the World … Continue reading ICEPOPS 2019 – Highlights

ICEPOPS 2019 – My first Keynote
I attended the first ICEPOPS conference in 2018 and was a huge fan, so when they got in touch to say that they wanted to hold the 2nd ever ICEPOPS conference in Edinburgh for 2019, AND that they’d like me to give a keynote presentation. Gosh. I was over the moon. Especially since this was … Continue reading ICEPOPS 2019 – My first Keynote

23 Things: Thing 13 Video
So here’s a thing…. (thing…get it?) …. although I consume as much online video as the next person I don’t actually produce a great deal, though there are plenty of embarrassing videos of me on YouTube from various conferences and events. Recently however I did have to produce a couple of videos. The first was […]
people make things open
Thing 12 of our 23 things is OER. I talk a lot about OER. Last week I was talking about it in Barcelona, this week I’m talking about it in Paris, in two weeks I’ll be in Berlin. I also write a bit about OER. On this blog and occasionally for case studies and articles. …
23 Things: Thing 11 & 12 Copyright and OER
First of all a confession – I can get quite emotional about copyright and licensing :’} So emotional in fact that Jane Secker’s ALT Conference keynote Copyright and e-learning: understanding our privileges and freedoms actually brought a wee tear to my eye. You might think I’m making this up but it’s true, and the reason why is that […]
23 Things: Thing 10 Wikimedia
Still woefully behind…I should be on Thing 18 by now and I’ve only reached Thing 10 :} Never mind though because Thing 10 is a wonderful Thing. Thing 10 is Wikimedia! It’s a bit of an understatement to say that I am a huge fan of all the Wikimedia projects, whether it’s Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, […]
things can only get beta
Back in the days of Web 2.0 we used to describe things as ‘perpetualy beta‘. For me this perfectly describes Wikipedia. It’ll never be finished: we must add to, and improve it, early and often. Users are co-developers and it’s developed under open source principles of collective intelligence. Wikipedia/Wikimedia are Thing 10 in our ‘23 …
access to things
I am participating in the University of Edinburgh digital skills course ‘23 things for digital knowledge‘. Thing 6 is about accessibility. I was listening on Radio 4 to ‘tweet of the day’ this morning while scrolling through Twitter and I mused on the possibility of having tweets actually tweeted, as in spoken outloud. A quick …
thinking about things
I am participating in the University of Edinburgh digital skills course ‘23 things for digital knowledge‘. The first thing to do is to think about blogging. I have been blogging for about 10 years now. I have always had a university hosted blog rather than a personal one. I enjoy the opportunity for reflective writing …
