Hello!
This month is one of travel and wrapping up a number of projects before the summer season gets underway. It’s the end of term for teaching, and I am looking forward to heading to Oxford University later this month to meet with fellow teachers in person for a end of year day. I’ve really enjoyed teaching this year and had some lovely feedback from the staff and students taking part in my courses, so that’s been a big highlight.
Upcoming conferences
I’ll be joining the ILTA Conference in Dublin in early June and I’m excited to be a member of the OER26 Conference Committee, too. Looking ahead to both events I wrote a guest post for the altc blog: Openness Reimagined… from How to Who and also recorded a podcast episode with Jim Groom, in which we give a bit of a preview what’s in store for us at ILTA in Dublin.
Looking further ahead to the autumn, submissions and registration are now open for the Ascilite Annual Conference in Brisbane, 29 November – 2 December where I’ll be delivering a leadership workshop as well as a keynote talk.
