If at first you don't succeed........

Yes, I have tried, tried again! Welcome to my new Blog - I intend to have my user name and password tattooed on my arm.
I am determined to get on top of this technology - I just wish they didn't rely on you to remember things like passwords!
After our first synchronous classroom yesterday, I felt like a greenhorn in the world of research. But as Ian stressed, the course is designed for academics at all stages of their research careers - so this may be the start of something big.
One of the best things about studying at this time in my life is that it reminds of what it is like to be a student. That way I can empathise with my own students. Our questions on assessment yesterday reminded me very much of the ones I am asked as a lecturer.
Have allocated some time this weekend (priority one over ironing) to start doing some of the reading for the second topic, so will post another blog to debrief soon.
