"If you're looking for a book that will really get you thinking about #socialmobility and how to break those barriers, then this is the book for you" Interested in reading Cracking Social Mobility? You can whet your appetite with the first 3 chapters. DM me and I'll send a copy.

I'm looking forward to speaking at this event next week. "Best Practice of Chatbots in Higher Education" eventbrite.co.uk/e/best-practic… @Eventbrite

plans to deny student loans to students who don't reach level 5 in English and maths will cause the most damage to those who can't afford a second chance.

Our kids and families are happy. Yet these middle-class ideologues think they know better than our own families about what works! Shame on them for being so condescending. All human beings have the right to choose You don’t have the right to take that choice from them.

Many have argued that the current assessment paradigm is defunct. I am not 100% convinced, but I do feel that improvements can be made. On that note, in this @jisc blog, we explore how #EdTech can innovate assessments (both formative and summative) nationalcentreforai.jiscinvolve.org/wp/2022/02/23/…

Utilising #AI to improve efficiency and efficacy in higher education AI is transforming our world, and the education sector is no exception By Tom Moule, Product Lead, The National Centre for AI in Tertiary Education and Jisc fenews.co.uk/exclusive/util…

At Jisc we've been piloting the use of chatbots in #furthereducation. Here is a blog post exploring what we've learned about creating quality question and answer sets. nationalcentreforai.jiscinvolve.org/wp/2022/04/08/…

Prevailing thought from watching the Katharine Birbalsingh documentary: Faint heart never won fair society.

John Redwood What's wrong with building homes? Conservative ideology tells young people that hard work pays off. But actually it goes towards landlords - because of refusal to build. What formula are we supposed to follow to have some long-term stability? Or do we not matter compared to land?

There’s nothing to celebrate about a #rentersreform bill. Your landlord can no longer make you homeless? Great - it’s almost like this is the bare minimum for a developed society. Don’t be taken in by it. We deserve homes. That’s the issue. Ps. Tories you haven’t put this to bed.

Looking forward to Jisc's AI summer event, where I'll be joined by Aftab Hussain, Chris Baldwin from Sandwell College, Shelagh Mclachlan from Ayrshire College; and by pioneers in AI from Graide - AI Enhanced Grading & Feedback and Bodyswaps® - a really excited day ahead!

No wonder the tories have no vision. The cost of petrol has made testing your eyes prohibitively expensive.

Millennials and young people are keeping very very little of their incomes at present, through a mixture of tax hikes and rent. And no one seems to care about this. Do we not matter? Or is our destiny to be the nation's wallet?

jisc.ac.uk/podcasts/ai-in… The first podcast from the Jisc AI in Education: Pedagogy First series, in which I spoke with Scott Hayden #FE about how AI can enable personalised learning (in part through freeing up teachers' time).

It was great to chat to Dr Mutlu Cukurova about how AI can enhance collaborative learning, as part of Jisc's AI in education: pedagogy first podcast series jisc.ac.uk/podcasts/ai-in…

If young people simply need to save more to get on the property ladder - by giving up nights out and holidays - how come lockdown didn’t result in an influx of homeowners?

Very excited that my book, Cracking Social Mobility, has been ref'd in new report on innovation by Tony Blair and William Hague from Tony Blair Institute for Global Change institute.global/policy/new-nat…
