TaLKBAC holiday

This is just a quick post to say that I won't be posting on TaLKBAC for a couple of weeks as I'm off on my summer hols. But it's also a good moment to pause and look back at the last couple of months of TaLKBAC.

We've grown to a healthy 49 members and I'm looking forward to growing this past 50 and beyond once I get back. There have been some inspiring conversations so far, including Annamarie's thought-provoking discussion around celebrating the value of an arts degree which produced over thirty comments.

More recently, posts considering a potential vision for Higher Education in 2030 have yielded some insightful comments and I look forward to building on this and other themes over the coming months. We'll also be introducing a new feature called TaLKBAC Spotlight involving interviews with members of the community about their views on aspects of teaching, learning and creativity. Maria Costantino has kindly volunteered to be the first, so look out for this interview towards the end of the month.

In the meantime I hope you're enjoying the Hashtag Highlights and the tools showcased in e-Learning Lunch. The number of tools that can be used creatively to enhance teaching and learning continues to expand at an exponential rate, and I'll be doing my best to keep on top of these over the coming months.

Please do make use of TaLKBAC in my absence, we are growing into a supportive community with a considerable base of knowledge and expertise. If you have a question or discussion that you would like to share with the group then don't be shy, get involved!

I'm looking forward to my holiday, but I'm also excited about continuing to learn and discuss with you all on my return.

But in the meantime, happy holidays!
