I haven't posted for a while...well... three years but you know, work gets in the way. However I have done a bit of writing for Imperial College and a few other places (ALT, HEA blog). Most of those have been open but most recently I have been writing for Beacon which is a community site for those working in postgraduate medicine but behind an Imperial log-in. These posts were written to engage with academics so I have decided I should share some of them externally. I think some of those academics that are suffering curriculum review will identify with the excruciating nature of my blog. A name from a long time ago when I was new to teaching, learning and reflective practice but the sentiment remains - if it is worth doing it will probably be hard.
At a meeting today one of the presenters likened learning to going on a quest - not just an adventure that you come back from with photographs - but a journey, where the road is the destination not a defined end point and which changes you as you reflect and react to the ideas, people and concepts that you are exposed to along the way.
The learning designer should be enabling the quest for others as well as travelling their own and the really interesting stuff will happen when the two meet. The next step on my quest will be SFHEA and I am looking forward to the adventures I will have on the way!
