#STAFFDEV_EU Recomendation n.3: A lack of time and recognition is a major barrier to engagement in staff development in higher education learning & teaching. The relationship between teaching, staff development and career progression should be clarified. bit.ly/4iGWNEp

“If we advocate for the parity of esteem, we also need to advocate for the reform of the Academic Careers Assessment (…) towards a more balanced approach to how the work and achievements of academics are supported, evaluated, acknowledged, rewarded” @josepmgarrell.bsky.social #EUALearnTeach

My highlight of the day 🔎: a private viewing of the Great Book of Ireland @ucclibrary.bsky.social for #EUALearnTeach Forum participants. This is Samuel Beckett's page. Probably his last handwritten piece, as he passed away two weeks after writing it.

Really interesting talk with Manel Jimenez Morales @uocuniversitat.bsky.social #EUALearnTeach Inspired by the work of French sculptor César, he analyses #learning in the future through 6 dimensions, including welding. "What matters is not the tool, it is how the tool connects with knowledge." 🛠💻
