Thanks @niacro it's been a real joy working with you! You're doing excellent work for the benefit of those who really need it. @UfiTrust

One of the repeated mistakes made in using VR for learning is assuming it's all about teaching "hard" skills. What's incredibly effective, particularly with disadvantaged learners, is using VR to cultivate acceptance and confidence in those who have neither.

A minister interested in learning and technology? Progress maybe...the VocTech (vocational technology) sector needs more of it to push forward all the really interesting work in this area. @UfiTrust @UfiVentures #Bett2022 #EdTech #VocTech.

I've always enjoyed a bit of thoughtful provocation. The education/training sector needs more of it, particularly in the area of vocational technology (VocTech). So I really love this kind of statement, from Tom Duff of City of Glasgow college. @PaddyfromFrome

🍾🍾Congratulations Autolive for winning "Skills Innovation of the Year" at the #EnginuitySkillsAwards last night. A brilliant #voctech project for manufacturing skills. Well done to the team from @nwslc_official. Find out more about the project here: ufi.co.uk/voctech-directory/…

UK care economy is worth £158bn, but #investment into #digitalinnovation within the #socialcare sector is still relatively nascent. Change is needed. Join @HelenGironi, @OomphWellness & @RossToomer to explore emerging trends and #investment opportunities. ufi.co.uk/latest/ufi-venture…

An important and thorough document. As a former teacher, (and current parent!) I often find the over-academic orientation and the implied anti-vocational bias within most levels of education to be out-of-date and ill-directed.

This is interesting. A perceptive look into how "new" technology, and potentially inspiring visions can, might, could, will....be corrupted. I wonder where this is heading? theguardian.com/games/2022/j…

Really rather proud to work for @ufitrust. I haven't had a proper full-time job for a long time (this century?), and loved it; but I have a feeling I'm going to love this even more. #VocTech #VocationalTechnology #EdTech #AdultEducation

Another really interesting and constructive use of AI to actually help people (not just chuck adverts at them...). @UfiTrust. #voctech #edtech.

I'm always surprised by the level of innovation we get with these funding rounds. If you've a bright idea, tell us about it (before 9th Feb)!
