Ep. 8: Weaving the Future of Digital Education - A Cross-Stitch with the University of Leeds

This episode features a collaborative discussion with the digital education leadership team from the University of Leeds, exploring the intersection of pedagogy, space, and technology. The conversation centers on the "cross-stitch" of human connection and digital infrastructure, highlighting initiatives like Helix, an on-campus innovation space designed to foster creative collaboration and "safe failure" among students and staff.
