Absolutely agree that we should be talking about this. I just wrote a post for the HEA blog on a similar theme - asking whether we should talk not about 'teaching excellence' but 'good education' (published today): https://www.heacademy.ac.uk/individuals/strategic-priorities/teaching-excellence-for-student-success Prof Dilly Fung PFHEA FRSA Professor of Higher Education Development Academic Director Arena Centre for Research-based Education University College London [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> @DevonDilly PA: Sonale Karadia [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Tel: 0203 108 6463 (ext 56463) 10th floor, 1-19 Torrington Place<x-apple-data-detectors://5/2> London <x-apple-data-detectors://5/2> WC1E 7HB<x-apple-data-detectors://5/2> On 25 Jan 2018, at 16:12, Gilbert, Theo <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> wrote: Dear Samantha, I love this blog.

Hi all, I have written a slightly unusual blog post for me. Instead of focusing on learning analytics or data ethics I have been thinking about the nature and purpose of education. These are preliminary thoughts based on events attended recently.
