I have nearly finished the course, however I seem to have gone past the deadline so my audit period has expired. I just need to complete the section on referencing, indexing and cross-referencing.

To be fair, I can do the above anyway, I do get a little mixed up on cross-referencing, so this section would have been useful for that.

I will get in touch to see if this can be extended for a week or so, so that I can complete.l

I have signed up to the LaTeX course IITBombayX: LaTeX for Students, Engineers, and Scientists [1] on the EdX website [2]. I have provided a link to university of Bombay for reference [3]

Looking at the course learning outcomes, I seem to know quite a lot already, however I need to improve how I organise and layout documents.

A while back I undertook an experiment on Acidity of Seawater and how this can be changed with eggshells. I want to go back to the write-up and make it look a much more professional, which I should be able to do with the help of this course.

Post for here

This is a repost

Hopefully reposting this here, will inspire people.

I completed Essay and report writing skills [3] with OpenLearn [2], earlier this year. This is part of the Open University [1]. In fact, this course mirrors a student tool kit book I have here, also from the OU. It is nice to have a printed and bound version.

Very useful course, lots of useful ideas, pointers to writing good essays and reports. Topics included structure, referencing, quotations,drafting, polishing and letting go. So probably just as applicable in the workplace as it is in the Academic world

I am looking forward to further study.

The UK government want all adults to spend time learning. To this end have created the skills toolkit [4] to help adults find learning and development courses.

This is a great idea, provided that employers:-

• Support employees in learning
• Value any learning an employee undertakes
• Value the commitment and work put in in order to learn new skills
• Recognise employee achievements on their CV
• See potential in their employee(s)

I found this on the Fediverse, which is a really good place to find interesting content. I am not being fed what some crappy AI / algorithm thinks that I may be interested in. I just follow the right people and happen across something interesting and engaging.

There are some really interesting people on there too.

This is a video series on “Introduction to Deep Learning”

I have just started a 12 hour OpenLearn course, Childhood in the digital age. However I really need to be working in a school to do this course as the first activity asks

What do you think? How might technology hinder children’s physical, social and cognitive development, and how might it provide exciting opportunities for learning?

Make a note of you thoughts at the start of this course. Use a notebook or digital notepad that you can refer back to at a later date.

So while I can answer the question. I would really like to answer this and other course activities, following discussion with children / young people and teachers, in order to help me answer this with an informed and evidence based approach.

I may therefore defer going any further until I am able to do this. Adds value to working as a TA if I can also use this as a way to help with OU Open Learn courses.

In the meantime I am open to offers of employment.
