Great to share insights on video-based assessments with colleagues from @edinburghuni.bsky.social! With Lee Clift & Filippos Pantekis, we explored how videos helps measure learning outcomes & develop core soft skills. Thanks Cristina Alexandru for inviting us!

Petition: Continue funding Technocamps to provide the support that schools and teachers across Wales rely on. Welsh Government has stopped funding Welsh universities (Technocamps) to support Welsh teachers, and instead is giving ยฃ1.4M to York University to provide on-line resources for this. This is outrageous: both in the loss of critical local in-person support for Welsh teachers, and in the disrespect shown towards Wales and Welsh universities that are eager to support their local schools but are having their funding for this taken away and given -in far greater amounts- to an English university.

Petition: Continue funding Technocamps to provide the support that schools and teachers across Wales rely on.

Totally agree! Now that the initial shock of ChatGPT's emergence is fading, we will hopefully see more social sciences research in this space.
