Our MOOC "Teaching Sustainability" comes with a facilitator guide for everybody who wants to use our materials to facilitate conversations in their own context, and now we even have a prototype of the pocket version! Things are coming along nicely! @teresethoni.bsky.social @mirjamglessmer.com

Filming for the MOOC in the studio in Helsingborg today!
Camera screens showing the film studio which is also visible in the background, set up with a table, a person sitting at the table, a shelf in the background set up with some books, plants, a SDG 4 sign. The ceiling is covered in scaffolding and studio lights, and there are lots of screens and other technical equipment around

Best Monday morning: Arriving at my desk to find Catherine Denial's "Pedagogy of Kindness" AND Flower Darby's "Joyful Online Teacher" waiting for me! Don't know where to start!!

The most exciting thing happened yesterday: Someone sent me a picture and asked me a question about an observation in a rotating tank, so I dropped everything else and HAD to investigate! Does anyone have any other ideas of what might be going on there? mirjamglessmer.com/2026/03/24/b...

LTHEChat 347: Loneliness in Higher Education
Join us on Bluesky with guest Bianca Fox (@bianca-f-o-x.bsky.social) on Wednesday, 10th December 2025 at 20:00 GMT It is not uncommon at this time of the year to talk about loneliness. From an increased number of TV commercials encouraging us to remember those who are spending Christmas alone to numerous local events meant to bring people together, it feels like suddenly the entire world is refocusing on loneliness as if this were a feeling only associated with winter or Christmas.

We have really positive experiences with different serious games, for example the Biodiversity Collage; students get super engaged also emotionally, and say they really appreciate a different approach (and that someone actually asks them about how they are feeling)

Going outside, breathing some fresh air and seeing some nature is such an underrated coping strategy! Agree that that is usually the best first step and the rest will fall into place later, or at least I'll be more ready to work on it then

I think this works really well -- I have started giving the "go for an inspirational coffee chat with a colleague and ask them about how they approach the topic" task at academic development workshops and participants really appreciate that they have the "excuse" to bother someone and connect!

A2 I think for me the most important first step was to realise that I cannot wait for someone else to tell me what to do but that I need to somehow start moving myself and then figure out the rest along the way. The process is the point as @asv.bsky.social writes in her brilliant book!
