Not that I think anyone missed me but a check in to say multiple professional social media accounts have become too much and for a variety of reasons, LinkedIn is a better solution (even if it gives me the boak), so if you have missed me, please find me there. www.linkedin.com/in/prof-emil...

Learning technologists - what's the most annoying thing about working with academics/what don't we understand about your job that you wish we did? I am writing a blog for #ALTC25, be as honest as you like 😅

So…there’s, like, a whole area of motivation research about how motivation doesn’t necessarily need to come from interest (e.g., productive, autonomous extrinsic motivation, how to productively regulate one’s motivation, etc.). It’s not a new thing, either. selfdeterminationtheory.org/theory/

⛰️Ben Cruachan & Stob Daimh (#57-58). I was worried about these to point of budgeting time for a panic attack, but like much of life the thought of it was worse than actually doing it. There's a slabby bit that was described in some reports in such a way that it sounded scary but was entirely fine..

Always impressive to read an educational RCT and I'm immediately interested in anything that frames lecture attendance through a lens of self-regulation rather than punitive attendance policies or removing recordings. #AcademicSky bpspsychub.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

At the last UK election I went back-and-forth about whether to vote Labour, I didn't want to risk waking up to a Tory government knowing I'd contributed. But I couldn't stomach the warning signs on LGBTQ rights and voted SNP and the only good thing is knowing I am not responsible for this hellscape.

Planned a munro today but my wife woke up a bit run down but I was in the "I need to see mountains again Gandalf" zone, so with wifely blessing (I didn't just abandon her), I took myself up a couple of Corbetts, The Brack and Cnoc Còinnich. An almost scramble ascent in places and then pathless bits.

Very taken by this on supporting education-focused academics through lens of self-determination theory. I've seen 1st-hand the impact giving people some degree autonomy over their workload can have, even if they can't change total, having some say in what it involves is very powerful #AcademicSky

If a journal's InstToAuthors said it accepted "original" research, would you assume that (1) this meant a new study/experiment no one had conducted before? Or (2) 1 and replications because that replication has not been conducted before and is, therefore, original. 2/3

#MorningReads In Western countries, gay people are often more accepted than trans people—a pattern shaped by white, gender-conforming gay rights movements. But globally, this isn’t always the case: in many non-Western countries, trans people face less bias than gay people. #LGBTQ #TransRights
