Students are motivated to complete the essential digital skills module at King's by getting a higher education certification award/digital certificate (78%) and self identification of a need to develop specific skills (74%) #THEdigitalUK

Next up at #THEdigitalUK is a session from colleagues at King's College London about digital skills development. Essential Digital Skills is a Moodle module for students focussed on core areas related to learning platforms, digital skills for success, being a digital citizen and wellbeing.

Listening to @kerrypinny.bsky.social talking about the @altuk.bsky.social coffee break sessions as a good way to bring the community together, especially those working on their own. The coffee break provides a space to share practice and discuss challenges. #THEdigitalUK

Connecting infrastructure with learning innovation panel with @amysampson.bsky.social emphasising the importance of requirements and understanding what you are trying to achieve #THEdigitalUK

Panel on balancing AI innovation and ethics in our classrooms at #THEdigitalUK emphasising the importance of ensuring students understanding the ethical aspects, including around the labour force, and enabling students to choose not to use AI.

Hearing from Jane Mooney from Manchester Uni about supporting digital capabilities. Especially interested in the Digital Peer Learning Network with Man Met. Would be good to have a local or national network that our Student Digital Assisatnts could join to share ideas #digifest25

My task for 2025 is completing a 42,000 piece jigsaw that comes in 7 bags of 6,000 pieces. This is progress so far on the first bag. The picture is a selection of landmarks & creatures from around the world. When complete it's over 7m wide. I will need to hire a hall to put it together 😂

It's a busy day at #altc24 as I am running a second workshop this time with Jim Turner, Ruth Powell & Scott Farrow at 13:30 in the Dublin room on Resourcing the digital future: exploring digital education teams in UK higher education, based on findings from a Heads of e-Learning Forum (HeLF) survey.
