1) Who are you?
Hullo! I’m a #PlayfulLearning advocate, passionate about playful engagement and the uses of technology to enhance open education, access, and information sharing.
I’m part of the Open Education team at theUniversity of Edinburgh, you can learn more about us on our Open.Ed webpages.
I educate and teach in HE on OER, copyright and open licensing, providing fun and engaging workshops and training sessions, including GifItUp and OER Game Jam sessions.
A few years ago I created and still lead on our award winning 23 Things for Digital Knowledge programme to develop digital confidence and wisdom.
Recently I’ve been working on our ISG Playful Engagement themes and goals as strategy for our Information Services.
2) What is your vibe? Share it in a meme or quote…
What would Kathryn Janeway do?
(inner strength, warmth and care, responsibility and resilience)
3) What gives you hope these days?
The incredible community and care that has been visibly rising up out the current situation to connect, care, and protect.
4) Who are you learning from lately?
My incredible bubble that I’m fortunate to be bunkering down with for the time being. We are caring, protecting, teaching, and sharing skills. My digital community has also been teaching me a lot, from craft and cooking skills, to resilience and humour.
5) In your opinion, what should we all be caring about? Why?
Not just the big picture. Keep an eye on the small, on the precious moments, the calm and the beauty.
6) What do you hope to take away from OER20?
I am always impressed by the community and care displayed by OER folks and looking forward to an outpouring of this in 2020.
