‘I think it’s potentially really exciting what we could do with learning analytics; i don’t think its exciting at the moment in the main.’

‘A lot of things described as learner analytics are data analytics’

ON DATA: ‘People are a little bit rabbit in the headlines at the moment.’

ON EU: ’We get a significant percentage of our funding from the european union.’

‘We want to work with our European Colleagues as we have a long history of working with them.’

‘I think there are some problems with people’s perceptions of what robotics might do.’

‘I think the future will be one where we work alongside artificially intelligent partners.’
