Hello and Happy World Postcard Day! As I am writing this month’s newsletter, the new academic year is in full swing and I am enjoying the quicker pace of work and projects:
On the podcast, I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with Dr Glenda Cox about open practice and leadership, drawing on her experiences as UNESCO Chair in Open Education and Social Justice.
In other podcasting news, I’ve recently started co-hosting a new show together with Alexis Block, called Faces of Reclaim! We’ve just recorded the first few episodes and these are absolute gems of open practice and open platforms.
Also, preparations for my session at the ALT Annual Conference in Cardiff this month, and the Ascilite Conference next month are gathering speed.
The most read post of the past few weeks has been a reflection looking back at my CEO Days, which I really enjoyed writing.
