This article in the THE by Fiona Grieg seems, well, bizarre insofar as it appears to miss the central issue: that institutions and #libraries have invested utterly pathetically in digital and open #infrastructure over many years -- and continue to do so to this day. Were the THE simply seeking click bait?

@YvanDaSilva Hey Yvan, you might like to check out the Distance Learning offer at #ARU (#TimesHigher Uni of the year no less (fwiw)).

If you drop them a line my colleagues over there will be able to take you through the offer and setup to see if there's something suitable for you.

#ARU are up for #TimesHigher #Awards tomorrow in 3 categories:

There's a nice little supporting video here, highlighting (amongst other things) that we're one of the #UK leading providers of #DegreeApprenticeships and the largest provider of initial Police #Education. I'm proud to be part of the team that built this.
