Hello all, it's been a while! We've been integrating into a new school, meeting loads of new people, getting excited about new projects, and reinventing the team (but not the wheel). Expect more changes to come, but for now we have an exciting new blog post about the value of peer review:

New post! Digital Confidence - the Story So Far, in which we summarise our research journey in this important area, and provide a link to our Digital Confidence workshop materials. Maybe it's something you could use to explore what #DigitalConfidence looks like in your context? #LTinHE

I went to two Accessibility events in June, both featured AI heavily. I've consolidated thoughts here. I guess the blog post is about cutting through the hype to find the humanity and ensuring "nothing about us without us" - disabled folk need to be front and center of any solutions given to them.

Also, for ND students, a question is not an attack or a challenge. (Also worth training all students to ask questions supportively!) Rejection sensitivity exacerbates the already dominance-seeking questioning that frequently shows up in these spaces.

When editing - make the text unfamiliar. It's incredibly easy to skim over something you've read a thousand times, and miss an error you've missed a thousand times before because you know what you expect to see. Change the text to be in comic sans, and suddenly it's all visible (and hideous!) again.

We were delighted to hold a Digital Confidence workshop at the Research In Distance Education (RIDE) 2025 conference last month, and in this blog post we've shared thoughts about a couple of the great presentations we saw around the theme of alternative forms of #DigitalAssessment.

Looking forward to dipping into this issue this week. Our work on digital confidence has shown it has links to wellbeing and resilience, and can support learners (students and staff) through digital transformation - we can see the links to this work on compassion and pedagogies of care!

New blog post! We've been working on this one for a little while. This post explores how we talk about AI - the metaphors we use, the metaphors we choose not to use, and the way we work to emphasise user agency in everything we say about generative AI.

I do think the idea that there is one homogenous group of neurodivergent students is an issue above - one size definitely doesn't fit all, and my ADHD brain would rebel at having only one thing to focus on!

This is a great distillation of what study skills are - it's not always recognised that interpersonal skill development is a vital part of education, and that how to ask for, receive and make the most of help and feedback needs to be taught alongside the content for successful learners.

We'd definitely argue for Digital Confidence - although we see it as a mindset you travel with, rather than a skill you can achieve! We'll be talking about this at University of London's #RIDE2025 conference on Friday, and keep an eye out for us posting about upcoming publications!

Having thoughts about whether, while the literacies are different, there's a model for critical engagement and thought that might enable the development of literacies for all.
