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. The participants emphasize that intentional learning design must lead the way, ensuring that technology serves as a partner in education rather than a mere set of tools. * Hosts: Julie (Australia) & Jim (UK) * Guest: Digital Education and Learning Innovation leadership team from the University of Leeds, UK * Date: 20 March 2026 * Length: Approx. 68 min * Themes: Designing Barrier-Free Spaces for Innovation, Strategic Alignment and Digital Capability, Intentional, Subject-Specific Learning Design, Student-Constructed AI and Flexible Learning, Targeted Accessibility and Open Education. * Show Notes & Transcript [https://create.usq.edu.au/distant-yarnings/2026/05/15/ep-8-weaving-the-future-of-digital-education-a-cross-stitch-with-the-university-of-leeds/]

Ep. 7: STEAM, Snow, and Schooling: A Chat with Kristof Fenyvesi

In this episode of Distant Yarnings, hosts Julie and Jim sit down with Kristof Fenyvesi, a senior researcher at the Finnish Institute for Educational Research, to explore the evolving role of modern schooling. The conversation broadly examines how educational institutions can move past rigid, siloed structures to foster better human connections, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and meaningful engagement with technology. Rather than focusing purely on academic outputs or control, the trio reflects on how adapting our educational values and maintaining informal, open networks can better prepare students to cooperatively tackle the complex, large-scale challenges of the 21st century. * Hosts: Julie (Australia) & Jim (UK) * Guest: Dr Kristóf Fenyvesi from the University of Jyväskylä * Date: 6 February 2026 * Length: Approx. 80 min * Themes: Planetary vs. Global Collaboration, Technology Bans in Schools, STEAM and Holistic Education, Contrasting Educational Cultures. * Show Notes and Transcript [https://create.usq.edu.au/distant-yarnings/2026/03/30/ep-7-steam-snow-and-schooling-a-chat-with-kristof-fenyvesi/]
