This is a brilliant tool - aimed at getting folks to contribute to Wikipedia - why not check out your own postcode ( what is missing ?) In a past life I'd be getting my communications students to fill in the blanks #openscot www.neil-scott.com/walkipedia/

Annual hall clean up done - thanks to all volunteers - courtyard , gutters and lots of tidying done inside and out - all set for another season - and new paint job and solar panels looking good.

Cracking evening as @mrlostglasgow’s plus one testing out newly refurbished dining room above Sloans - The Merchants

HMmm ! Best bit at Hampden tonight was national anthem - thereafter we couldn’t lay a glove on the Swiss - going down to 10 men in first 10 minutes didn’t help - so No Party ! And No Scotland

Some notes and thought on my presentation to Data Lab on changing assessment landscape and new skills education needs to develop www.joewilsons.net/2026/09/gene...

Reflecting on 25 years of SCQF #SCQF25years from someone who was there at the start ;-) www.joewilsons.net/2026/09/refl...

This documentary www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... grim viewing - but also not the City Centre I know - while all of this does go on - the City has been busy with Tourists and we hosted the Commonwealth Games. The BBC now owes Glasgow a travelogue programme highlighting all that’s good.

Perhaps a bit cheeky but workshop aimed at OER experts - reflecting on what more we can do to shape our own individual practice and influence policy and technical platforms at our own institutions - materials and padlet here docs.google.com/presentation... thanks to all participants

#oer26 kicks off with reminder of this survey app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/openuniver...

Looking forward to talking about AI and assessment in Edinburgh tomorrow www.holyroodinsight.com/conferences-...

Never sure how a good book will be changed into a stage play - but this one really worked tonight citz.co.uk/whats-on/the... And oh look on kiddie friendly Bluesky in UK - how did that happen

Off to Edinburgh University and looking forward to contributing and chairing a group for The RSA (The royal society for arts, manufactures and commerce) on future of school education. www.thersa.org/events/2026/...

Think first time since 1998 Garage Saltire has has had a freshen up - getting World Cup fever. Got to keep up with neighbours

Film night tonight at GFT - sort of says it all www.theguardian.com/film/2025/ma... Glad I passed this confused stage long ago - but reminded me of lots of students over lots of years - teenage angst.

Football heavy day yesterday - great send off at Hampden for Scotland team and better team won the Champions League

I disappeared down a classicist rabbit hole collections.reading.ac.uk/ure-museum/e... I'm not sure you can blame AI for distortions - it is the present looking back through a cultural distorting mirror, but it looks like an interesting conference edwardasross.wordpress.com/events/ai-li...

Just found good to be part of wider fediverse @joewilsons.net.web.brid.gy

We're told that Scotland is overrun with asylum seekers. But actually, fewer than 7,000 people are seeking asylum here. That’s only 0.12% of the total population. They wouldn’t even fill Falkirk football stadium. Get the facts here: https://ow.ly/uLW950YQZti

On cue Sun split the sky today as formal examinations start in Scottish schools - best of luck to everyone stick in and don’t be distracted by the sunshine.

Sunshine in Paisley for this important march

Amazing turnout for the Love Paisley Hate Racism march, rally & music still on at County Square for the next couple hours

As a nutcase threatens to bomb a country back to the stone age . I’ve been doing usual spring tasks like planting potatoes - Creation always better than destruction. Hope the world comes to its senses

#artemis reminds me of 1969 Glasgow Fair Kingsley Hotel Arran watching a wee TV with older generations and cousins in evenings. As a 6.5 year old - staying up late , tasting lager/lime and playing the fruit machine - probably to get me to sit still. Think I got an Astronaut helmet that Christmas 😉

After little joy in football on Saturday evening nor Rugby at Murrayfield on Sunday - hoping for lots of goals for Scotland at Hampden tonight - but who knows what team will turn up and hope they are not to psyched up to kick a ball #Scotland get the job done !!

Supporting a short session next week partly on working across the technology stack to support learners #openscot

News integrity in AI Systems - this is a superb resource for discussing with staff and students the reliability of AI news output and risks associated with not doing research thoroughly - AI has a place but there are sensible caveats needed around its use. www.bbc.co.uk/aboutthebbc/...
