As someone who knows nothing about cars, I weirdly enjoyed watching #DriveToSurvive on #Netflix, the #FormulaOne docuseries 🏎🏎🏎

I found some interesting parallels with my experiences as an #ECR.

Let me explain...

Before we get started, I acknowledge my privilege as an academic with ongoing employment.

I acknowledge many ECRs will face additional challenges I haven't covered in this thread. Feel free to add your own observations 😊

OK, "LET'S GO!" (that's an F1 rallying cry, btw!)
🏎 F1 drivers are persistent.

What's the best for ECRs way to emulate them?

Keep showing up, especially in the face of failure:

β€’ pick yourself up after disappointment
β€’ don't let negative feedback derail you
β€’ #KeepPushing (a hashtag borrowed from the #F1 world!)

I've just come to the end of a 4-year tenure, redeveloping & teaching a flexible online first, textbook free, skills-focused and accessible first year psychology unit.
In this time, I've taught 5000+ students. I have opinions I'll roll out here, but ask me questions. #HPS111 1/n
To start with, we chucked the textbook, lectures, and conventional readings, and replaced them with weekly video series (each video ~12 mins) with time specific overlaid links to primary articles using @H5PTechnology. That's most of the on-campus teaching gone, back in 2017. Why?
Why kill textbooks? Because they cost too much, are frequently wrong, and put students attention in the wrong place. I don't want students citing textbooks as evidence, so we modelled the use of evidence we want to see from them.
