I am a champion of free speech, but not hate speech. So in light of how the owner of X has chosen not to address issues of inaccuracy or hate on his platform I have decided that I will no longer be active on here. Feel free to connect with me at Bluesky: bsky.app/profile/digisim.bsk…

Ever since I participated in the UKOER programme I have promoted the use of open education and open licensing. The SPaM framework is openly licensed and so it's always nice to find out other people find it useful too! spam.digisim.uk/generic/open…

As someone with an almost preternatural skill at getting into trouble at work - the first things you do is read the precise wording of the accusation, compare it to the policy, and understand the process that will follow.

I always love to hear how people are using the SPaM framework for supporting their blended and hybrid curriculum design and implementation. But I also sometimes get asked "how can I best make use of SPaM" so I wrote a little something: spam.digisim.uk/generic/spam…

Dear @Outlook please can you develop a feature where I can remove myself from reply all emails that I have no idea why I’ve been added to so as to avoid me getting any more.
