Introduction


Can each day be headlined by a word (or two) and represented by a single sentence?

Will they, in turn, weave together to form a tapestry of the year?

It may be more mundane than momentous, but it’s mine to share.

Future Learn

It was about eighteen months ago that I was first told by my ex-boss about Future Learn, the open access learning platform on which universities worldwide put short courses that anyone can take, free of charge, but though tempted by “The Moons of the Solar System” I was then just starting tutoring so gave it a miss; however last weekend a friend from my student days also mentioned it, and that a course - “Football: More Than a Game” - from Edinburgh University (our alma mater) was about to start, so today I took the plunge, registered, and dived into the six week programme – if I can’t hack a course on football I may as well hand up my cap and gown for good (alongside my football boots).
