Gasta Goes Global
Gasta,
Apr 15, 2020
Gasta in this case is basically Pecha Kucha, but with an Irish flavour. This online version wasn't exactly 'global', with presentations mostly from the British Isles, Canada, the U.S., and Maha Bali from Egypt. Though the presentations were brisk, the introductions weren't, and so the overall effect is mixed. The best bit was Sheila MacNeill suggesting that exams and proctoring present an attitude of distrust rather than care. Maha Bali also covered care, citing several times from bell hooks. Martin Weller talked about the fragility of the current system and the need for resiliance, and Tony Bates made some predictions. Here's the Twitter stream associated with the event. Here's the video on YouTube.
