Dear All,

Welcome back, and thank you for your work this week.

The heat in Argyle House is thankfully on.

For the new year we welcome  our new Digital Safety Intern, Aysha Sohail and Liz Dickie, who some of you may know as a Learning Technologist from COL in Moray House, is working with us two days per week  to ensure we get the best alignment for our Short Courses Platform implementation.

I hope you all managed to get some rest and festive elements during the break. For those who celebrate Christmas this week it’s been Orthodox Christmas, Old Christmas, Little Christmas and Women’s Christmas. Little Christmas – Wikipedia

Coming up in January  (to combat any symptoms of Blue Monday Blue Monday (date) – Wikipedia) we have our foodbank collection launch, our digital skills tutors party and Lunar new year events at St Cecilias St Cecilia’s Hall, The University of Edinburgh Events – 7 Upcoming Activities and Tickets | Eventbrite

If you are interested in presenting at the University of Edinburgh Teaching and Learning Conference, the CfP is now open Call for Proposals | Institute for Academic Development Let you manager know what you would like to do. Satu and Katie will be presenting  posters at 2025 Digital Research Conference if you need inspiration.

Nice to see online learning featured in the THE Rethinking online learning to tackle global injustices | THE Campus Learn, Share, Connect

And women in AI on linkedin Women in AI at EDINA | LinkedIn

Great to see colleagues gaining post-nominal letters. Marcello has completed the Edinburgh Teaching Award and is now a fellow of the higher education academy (FHEA) and  both Andres  and Delia have been awarded their CMALTs (with minor corrections). Well done , All!

If you all have a bit of time for some life-admin, please do go into People and Money and update your personal details. If you have a disability, or no known disability, please do update that so that there is something showing in that field, and add your qualifications etc to make sure we can keep up to date with our data and demographics.

Thank you again for coming back.

Best wishes,

Melissa
