A1. Gosh, it's so many that my response needs to be a 'meta answer'... The personal importance of engaging in a SOTL network, and, of course, the incredible value of making that network open, approachable and convenient. #LTHEChat

A2. I guess I'll tag Matt Cornock for introducing me to this. For wisdom and great tweets over the years Simon Lancaster Sally Brown especially. @WarwickLanguage for being an excellent mentor. And obviously Sue Beckingham 🎓 💻 💡 for being... well, the one and only Sue Beckingham 🎓 💻 💡 #LTHEchat

A4. Thinking back to 2017/18 when mass produced automated lecture capture was utterly scandalous, some of those discussions helped keep me sane as I tackled that spicy discussion at my then institution. #LTHEchat

A5. I don't want to say it but... finances, diversification of finances, exploring new overseas markets to mitigate for Brexit, global politics, etc. Probably leaning into more online and CPD. #LTHEchat

There's a few news articles I could comment on today, but I won't. One that is important, however, is this: bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… It is time for UK Prime Minister to step in with actions, not just words, to make HE sustainable.

A bad look? Just as certain Universities initiate severance models based on the ‘success’ of The University of York model, York is now launching new sweeping severance measures aimed at PSS staff. The plan, clearly, hasn’t worked. nouse.co.uk/articles/2025/…
