Six months into our new BRITEthink software journey, and it’s been both exhilarating to see how far we’ve come... and how much we continue to learn. Launching both Arabic and English versions simultaneously was ambitious, but essential to reflect the diverse communities we serve #ai #EdAi #edtech

AI is already in your classroom — are you ready for it?

This practical, one-hour CPD session will help teachers confidently navigate the challenges and opportunities of AI in education. #ai #Edai

I was preparing some notes on what decolonising Ai looks like, in the theme of vocational training. It can mean a lot of things, but changing to data or getting it more localised it not enough…the AI entity will still think like a western/euro-centric way

3 impactful days, discussing assessment, ai and ethical use in assessment and culture. My first time to #Learn2025 but one which will give me more runway to work in the Kingdom #ai #assessment #TVET #learning

Some great things to take away from day 1 @ Learn in Saudi Arabia. Good to see discussions forming around effective #Ai use, it’s parameters and #equity in digital education #Edtech #SaudiArabia

The start of year 2! Today, I’m back at @ucl.ac.uk for year 2 of my EdD. I’m looking forward to continuing my research in AI within vocational education, with interests in technology-social constructivism and decolonizing AI 🤖

An interesting read covering many areas. The key parts which stuck out for me was now 'uneven funding' of adult skills from devolution, it seems to be providing unequal opportunities. It has also impacted many high quality national providers

I had the pleasure of visiting London’s Ismaili Centre today, a truly unique space that blends spiritual reflection with cultural openness and stands as a symbol of pluralism in the heart of the city.

Here is a shot of the roof garden with the tower from the V&A in the background

In the past year, I’ve chosen my research to focus on techno-social constructivism, exploring how people and technology co-create knowledge within education and assessment. #ai #Edai #Edtech #phd

Through our involvement with UCL EdTech Labs BRITEthink gained valuable insights into the importance of research

The paper further evidences the growing need for a solution
