What is the most environmentally friendly mobile phone?

Cal Innes (Jisc) says it is the phone that you currently own & being able to extend its lifespan, since 80-90% of a phone lifecycle #carbonfootprint is created B4 it is purchased.

Small, practical changes can have a significant impact, as demonstrated by recent work with #UVAC.
#Accessibility isn’t just about compliance. It’s about #inclusion, usability, & trust.

Six teacher reactions to AI from skeptics to power users.

A useful lens for CPD and digital skills leads: AI adoption isn’t one-size-fits-all!

Visual credit to #cristobalcobo cristobalcobo.net
#AIinEducation #CPD #EdTech #DigitalSkills #TeacherTraining
Infographic titled “The 6 Types of Teacher Reactions to AI : Which one are you? And which one do you want to be?” Two rows of three cartoon panels, each showing a teacher profile with a speech bubble, a short description, and a suggested next step. 1. The Skeptic: Gray-bearded teacher says “It’s just hype. Nothing beats a real teacher.” Resistant, values pedagogy, worries about ethics and data. Next step: Try AI once to summarise a pupil’s work. 2. The Secret User: Dark-haired teacher whispers “I don’t tell anyone I use ChatGPT….” Curious but cautious; deletes evidence of AI use. Next step: Share one AI-time-saver with a colleague. 3. The Power Prompter: Woman raises a finger: “I’ve got a prompt for everything!” Creative, efficient, maybe addicted. Next step: Build a prompt library for the department. 4. The Copy-Paster: Teacher holding a worksheet: “I just ask it to write a worksheet. Done.” Time-starved, uses AI shortcuts without quality checks. Next step: Critically review content… ask “Would I teach this?” 5. The Ethical Warrior: Teacher with tablet says “We can’t use this until we talk about safety and bias.” Values justice and safeguarding. Next step: Help create policy and model ethical AI use. 6. The Curious but Cautious: Blonde teacher: “I can see the potential… but where do I start?” Overwhelmed beginner. Next step: Ask AI to create three vocab games. Overall message: teachers vary from skeptics to power users; tailored support and next steps foster responsible AI adoption :)

In yesterday’s session, Rick from GDS unpacked how #contentdesign, #IA & #UI intersect, & why structure matters as much as surface:
Content is infrastructure.
Design from the inside out.
Model small. Stay flexible.
Cookies, not snowflakes.

#GOVUK #DesignSystems #HCID2025 #EduSky #RikWilliams
Content Design Spectrum A horizontal flowchart titled “Content Design Spectrum” spans from back-end(s) to front-end(s). It shows five sequential stages of content development: 1. Content Model – Objects, Relations, CTAs, Attributes (semantic structure) 2. Content Type – Required content attributes (logical structure) 3. Content Format – Specific content structure (organisational structure) 4. Content Design – Words + Media (rhetorical structure) 5. UI Design – Interaction (behavioural structure) Each stage includes a shape symbol and explanatory labels, with a GDS logo at the bottom. A horizontal diagram titled “Content Design Spectrum” shows a flow from Back-end(s) to Front-end(s) across five stages: 1. Content Model – “Objects, Relations, CTAs, Attributes” (semantic structure, represented by a turquoise pentagon) 2. Content Type – “Required content attributes” (logical structure, turquoise pentagon) 3. Content Format – “Specific content structure” (organisational structure, turquoise pentagon) 4. Content Design – “Words + Media” (rhetorical structure, green triangle) 5. UI Design – “Interaction” (behavioural structure, pink circle) Each step answers a key design question, from “What’s available?” to “How packaged?” The image is branded with the GDS (Government Digital Service) logo in the bottom left corner. A grey cloud-shaped diagram centered on a turquoise hexagon labeled “IA” (Information Architecture). Seven spokes radiate outward, each representing a design tension or trade-off: 1. body <> head(s) 2. cookies <> snowflakes 3. bottom-up <> top-down 4. flexible <> brittle 5. big <> small 6. slow <> fast 7. help <> harm The image suggests that good IA involves balancing these tensions. A GDS (Government Digital Service) logo is shown in the lower-left corner.

Sampson urges a rethink of #UX in public services: less about optimisation, more about liberation.
Current models centre ideal users, sidelining others. Time to design for complexity, cooperation, & shared experience not just efficiency.
#LiberatoryDesign #HCID2025 #TonySampson #DesignJustice
Sampson stands beside a presentation slide titled “A New Paradigm: Critical-HCI.” He is pointing towards the screen while speaking. The slide critiques the traditional UX paradigm, raising questions like “Is the user the best starting place?” and “Who gets silenced?” It advocates for experiential liberation over optimisation, plural and cooperative experiences, and rejecting consumer centrality in favour of broader, social and cultural contexts.

Hassler urges designers to break out of the “ivory tower” & learn from fields like architecture, journalism, & craft.
To move beyond traditional design thinking & collaborate across disciplines to tackle complex, real-world challenges.
#DesignThinking #Interdisciplinary #HCID2025 #ChristophHassler
Christoph stands in front of a projected slide during his presentation, The slide displays six principles in bold text, each with a corresponding icon: 1. “CREATE CIRCLES, NOT LINES” 2. “PLAN WITH, DESIGN WITH” 3. “BE HUMBLE LEARNERS WHO PRACTICE DEEP LISTENING” 4. “CHOOSE CRITICAL CONNECTIONS OVER CRITICAL MASS” 5. “SEEK PEOPLE AT THE MARGINS” 6. “RECKON WITH THE PAST TO BUILD THE FUTURE”

Two speakers are presenting at the HCID Conference 2025 in a lecture room. A man is holding a microphone and speaking, while a woman stands at a podium with a laptop. Behind them, two large screens display the conference title slide, which reads: “HCID Conference 2025 – Paradigm Shift. Steph Wilson and Sara Heitlinger (Co-Directors), Stuart Scott (Interaction Lab Manager).” The man is wearing a green T-shirt, and the woman is dressed in black. A small audience is partially visible in the foreground.

A mind map diagram titled "Generative AI in Higher Education: A Critical Manifesto". It branches out into five sections: "Purpose of Manifesto", "Language & Metaphors of GenAI", "Positive Potentials (Affordances) of GenAI", "Negative Impacts & Concerns (Challenges) of GenAI", and "Call to Action & Inquiry". Each section is represented as a clickable node, suggesting deeper exploration of the themes :)

Lots of talk at #Digifest25 about AI but little challenge around the realities- it’s the big tech thing, but I feel like we’re really in, or approaching a trough of disillusionment. How does the education sector navigate its way through this.

AI => No Magic, but #Strategy!
- Governance matters...Have the right policies in place.
- Data is key; understand it to avoid risks.
- Productivity gains, what’s next?
Cost-cutting or reimagining how you work?
#AI is here to stay. How will you use it best?

"AI is not magic dust; it’s a tool to augment human capabilities, not replace them." says #SanaKhareghani
The key? Start with the challenge, not the tech!!
- Identify needs
- Assess if #AI is the right solution
- Decide: build, buy, or partner

->Let's think through change. #DigiFest25 #FutureOfWork
AI is not magic dust...
