Sad to say goodbye to an excellent #festivalofhe at the lovely @UoLondon
Emerging theme on connections— how can we…
-link access & on-course support?
-ensure data is in service of the important questions?
-help unis connect to communities?
-co-create with students & partners?

“The audience who loves tables is feeling like their question isn’t being answered.”
If your audience wants tables, think again about what they want to get from the data. You can always keep old ways of reporting + add new visuals.
Great live session today with @storywithdata

I'm looking for a data systems guru to join my team for a year 👇
You'll support #Outreach at Imperial to manage data & access insights about our programmes. It's also a unique chance to dig into CRM development, supporting our shift to a new system

Busy day already at the @NEONHE symposium, including a great discussion about what’s next for #evaluation across the higher education sector.
Definitely time for a coffee, and loving that both scone options are available!
…and as a side note, just stumbled on the very tempting book vending machine in the Exeter St David’s train station. Love that this exists!
