This is a 'vodcast' (a conversation with visual clues) between Vicki Dale and Karen Thompson talking about virtual placement research process. It will link to an article recently published by Thompson and Dale (2022) which covers themes including self-regulated learning, thematic analysis and its shift to reflexive thematic analysis, working from home, taking a studio perspective online and lessons learned.

They share their findings on the characteristics of ODL learners, and how they differ from similar on-campus programmes. They also discuss some considerations at the design stage of an ODL programme and how materials and assessment can be delivered with the use of digital technology and the expertise of a learning technologist. Finally, they discuss some challenges during their time running the programme and suggestions for those interested in setting up their own ODL programme.
ABSTRACT This article explores the lived experiences of four early career academics (ECAs) transitioning from school educators (within the primary and secondary sectors) to lecturers in initial teacher education in a United Kingdom Higher Education institution. These ECAs were established teachers with strong practitioner identities within their field of education and experienced in reflective practice. This study aims to gain a deeper understanding of how their agency was impacted in this transition. The concept of agency is firstly explored, and an ecological model presented and used as a framework in this study. A collaborative autoethnographic methodological approach is used to structure personal and professional reflections in order to gain an insight into the evolving identities of the ECAs as they embrace and develop new careers within Higher Education (HE) as lecturers. Factors emerge which have both hindered and enhanced agency and this paper sets out some recommendations for change. It is hoped that HE establishments may find these findings useful to consider when inducting new staff and helping them develop and flourish in the early stages of their academic careers.

In this episode I have the absolute pleasure to speak with Prof Susan Jamieson about becoming a professor on a Learning, Teaching and Scholarship track, which is a teaching (rather than research) focussed academic career path. It usually involves the engagement in a variety of SoTL activities.
