All change It's a beautiful, sunny, but frosty morning. I'm into my fourth week in a new job at the University of Birmingham and for once the train journey was without hitch (the trains have been a touch unpredictable the last few weeks) probably means getting home will be tricky. I can see Chamberlain Tower from my office, the crocuses are appearing on University Square and while it's all a bit full on at the moment (trying to get up to speed) everyone is being very supportive and welcoming.
The new job is focused on taking over leadership of the PGCert in Learning & Teaching in HE, shortly to become PGCert in Academic Practice. As with all changes there are chances to develop some activities aligned with our interests and that will hopefully engage the colleagues who are our students. So we're developing some modules around educational research, the use of educational technology, research leadership and leadership & management in HE.  ¶ 11:15 am
