Heart | Soul | MachineI presented Tuesday, 6th December, at Ascilite22 about some of the work I’ve been leading at the University of Adelaide. It was a Pecha Kucha session, so there was not a massive amount of time to go into depth about the work, so I thought I’d put together something to accompany the slides and provide […]
“I feel called on to “lead”, even as I am not sure what to think.” On return to campus planning, this beautiful writing speaks to the challenge of leading in fog. https://twitter.com/brlamb/status/1448448092190109697@katemfd This week was a big one. I’ve been so focussed on recruiting and developing the team, getting work practices established and building momentum […]
I’m going to try and keep going with the writing. Rather than aim for the masterful tome, I’m just going to approach it as a series of connected pieces. For me I just need to externalise some of my thoughts and see what sticks. I’ll come back and refine things later. I want to talk […]
I’ve been trying to write a blog post for months. I have drafts and half finished ideas scattered across half a dozen apps as both text and voice notes. Plenty of words but not the time or the space to craft them into something more coherent. So instead of trying to work through that pile […]

I have a pathological need to define terms and phrases properly. I am driven by a need for clarity – which might have something to do with my Myers-Briggs personality Type. I feel that without clarity we consistently miss the mark and waste time, money and resources. So when it comes to the current debate […]
Big news this week when it was announced our university will be looking for a new LMS to implement in 2014. While I am a great supporter of our LMS (Sakai), I have never been a big user. I’m not an academic so I don’t have any learning to manage and with a background in […]
Rather than surrender to bureaucracy, take it upon yourself to break it. The 99% – http://bit.ly/szsQbE Try breaking up the ice with questions like: “Why does it feel like we are having the same meeting and discussion, over and over again?” “Why don’t we just try it and see what happens?” “Specifically what (or who) […]
Well it’s taken a lot longer than I thought to get to this point, but finally our Mobile Learning initiative has been approved and funded!
