More (or less) original insights from an old blogger
This blog was self-hosted on digital ocean until today.
Unfortunately, issues with the database was preventing the blog appearing for some of my readers and I don’t have time at the moment to be a Sysadmin and trace the fault. Rebooting the server when I notice it’s down is not a solution either. So, I’ve forked out the £30 a year to have a site with a custom domain hosted on WordPress.com.
And here it is.
Excuse us while we move all our content and sharing options over.
There are some interesting events coming up over the next two months.
And of course there’s #LTHEChat every Wednesday between 8 and 9 PM UK Local Time which teams up with #HEAChat on the last Wednesday of each month.
Another record breaking #LTHEChat was hosted on Wednesday 16th November by @digisim Simon Thomson. The Storify was curated by @ladyculottes Haley Atkinson who had to slim down the 1500 or so tweets, side conversations and spam posts to extract the essential essence.

As part of our preparation for our presentation for Social Media in Higher Education in December (#SocMedHE16), the team is looking at various ways to assess the impact of the weekly #LTHEchat. As part of this, I agreed to attempt to record a flavour of the excitement of the event by capturing snapshots of the growth of the network over a twenty-four hour period using Martin Hawksey’s TAGSExplorer which generated this visualisation, and Jing.
I created a storify of the tweets and some of the reaction:
We should definitely reflect on Richard Treves’ comments that appear at the end of the story:
#LTHEchat @cpjobling @S_J_lancaster genuine Q re network graphs: what r they showing other than ‘thers lots of traffic’? R they just cool? https://t.co/2VQSaHfupx

Today I had a short Twitter Conversation with James Clay which followed this tweet from JISC’s #codesign16 meeting:
What constraints, if any, should institutions have placed on them when it comes to using tracking data? #codesign16 pic.twitter.com/fNSKrKlYiV

I replied:

does that mean we shouldn't be tracking? It could mean a better experience for the learner?#codesign16

ensuring better utilisation of learning spaces, so learning experiences were more effective perhaps? #codesign16

James has also blogged about this in I know Where You Are and is following up in this JISC blog post “What does the imminent arrival of the intelligent campus mean for you and your students.”
What do you think?
James has published more of the discussion of the intelligent campus from #codesign16 in this storyfy.
