Many thanks Richard<br><br>Yes I will<br><br>Some of this starting in pursuing possibilities to ‘decolonise learning technology’ (and then wider aspects of EDI) and wondering how we worked upstream from us, the people who use this stuff, to those that bought it and installed and to those that designed and developed and sold [...]
