  • My initial thought on this was that it could be interesting to use for therapy. Obviously, a minefield and I'll confess to knowing very little about psychology, but I wonder what support it could offer the bereaved, for example, or those with PTSD?

  • Never come across the Great Hall of the Bulls before. What an incredible find, and what an experience it must have been to see them moving under firelight.

  • At least healthcare is a somewhat more benevolent use of this technology - still for financial gain, but with a benefit for humankind. I would have expected to see 'arts' as an option in this poll.

  • When I think of XR I immediately think of the Holodeck on Star Trek, which I guess is what the aim would be ultimately - fully rendered environments that you can interactive with, without needing headwear. Pop culture aside, I am interested in XR for educational purposes, especially.

  • @JoséLanot Hi Jose I'm very sorry for the delay in replying to you, this pandemic has resulted in a great deal more work. Please email me on d.holloway@sheffield.ac.uk and we can go from there. Looking forward to hearing the song...!

  • Hi everyone. Apologies for the lack of sound in this video. We are aware of the problem and endeavouring to repair it. Unfortunately, because of the ongoing COVID-19 health crisis, our staff are all currently working from home and this is proving a little tricker than it would be normally. As soon as we are able to do so, we will add the missing audio. Our...

  • The latest episode of the podcast 'Serial' looks at the US justice system, exploring the processes, people and stories that make up a Cleveland court house, over the course of one year. It's a fascinating insight into the mechanics of justice and spends a lot of time asking whether it is fair... https://serialpodcast.org/

  • Love the Inspirals...! Carter USM did a cover of This is How it Feels and it's equally as awesome.

  • I enjoyed that very much. Well done, Richard.

  • Thank you for compiling this list, Suzanne. There are some great choices in here. I've always had a soft spot for Earth Song!

  • Thank you for posting this Paul. That was an oversight on our behalf.

  • Those Padlet images are excellent; I spent a long time browsing those. Thanks to everyone who uploaded one.

  • Dave Holloway made a comment

    I have joined this course on a whim, knowing nothing of the topic, but I'm already very interested. I have been to Japan once and thought it a fascinating country, and I would love to return one day.

  • Wonderful. Thank you very much Maria, that is much appreciated. And we really are delighted that it's had such a positive effect on your life. It had a very positive effect on mine too... ---> http://online-learning.group.shef.ac.uk/index.php/2016/09/09/musculoskeletal-ageing/

    Very best wishes

  • Thank you very much for your comment, Godelieve - it was lovely to hear that the course has had such a positive effect on your life. We would very much like to use your comment to advertise future runs of the course, would this be ok with you? We can anonymise you if you would rather, or just use your first name or, indeed, a pseudonym. Please do let me know...

  • Thank you all again for spotting this. Apologies for the stray pork chop; we have removed it and modified the feedback statement. This question will be reviewed and likely amended for any future runs of the course.
    Thanks again
    Dave

  • Hi all
    Thanks for your comments. Just to let you know that we've spotted this thread and we're looking into it. Thanks for your diligence!
    Dave

  • Just as a frame of reference, Alex, this video was filmed last year before the Hillsborough ruling, and indeed before the general election.

  • I'd really like to hear about your experience of visiting the LA Police Museum, Richard. Please do let us know if you decide to visit.

  • I always liked A Quagmire of Robots, reflecting the impossibility of the issues we're facing...

  • Hi Ruurd. Apologies for the delay, but it is now available on Vimeo here --> https://vimeo.com/157457749

  • I've only ever known that song as an Alabama 3 song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-z3OjTIVfU), I never knew it was a cover. I shall now go search out the discography of John Prine. Thank you, and glad you enjoyed the course!

  • Many are, and then there was David Bowie...

  • Thank you for making these each week Violet!

  • Hi Steve

    They are available as complete playlists and are linked to in the text of this step but I'll repeat the link here for convenience... https://play.spotify.com/user/adamwhite_sheffield/playlist/63tUtHJEf6ATMEhIXHrZvd

    If for some reason that link doesn't work for you then you can search for #FLsong on Spotify and follow the link through to user...

  • You can access Spotify via the web player here: https://player.spotify.com/ If you're not already a member they will ask you to sign up. You can follow the link from the top of the page to Spotify or search for #FLsong or the user AdamWhite_Sheffield. Hope that helps, Dave

  • Hi Ibrahim. It does indeed only return week 1, and I can't tell you why that happens. However, if you click through to the user AdamWhite_Sheffield who created the playlist you'll be able to find all the others too. Hope that helps.

  • I thought that was lovely, Dana.

  • That would be a really interesting idea, and I 'd love to hear it.

  • Hi Jodi. If you're struggling to find the playlist on Spotify then there's a full list available to download from the first step 'Welcome to the Course' - or you could try searching for #FLsong on Spotify which usually throws up the week 1 playlist in the results. After that you can follow user AdamWhite_Sheffield to find weeks 2-6. We've discovered a small...

  • Hi Juliet. I'm afraid there's a small number of learners who, for some inexplicable reason, are not able to access the playlists through the links we provided. If that happens, try searching for #FLsong on Spotify and you should be able to find the week 1 playlist, from there you can follow through the user AdamWhite_Sheffield to find weeks 2-6 as well. Hope...

  • If you're struggling to find the playlist, Penelope, then try searching for #FLsong and you should find it, or you alternatively look for user AdamWhite_Sheffield. Hope that helps.

  • I love Garrison Keillor and the News From Lake Woebegon; such a brilliant podcast.

  • Hi Zhanna
    Most of the songs are available on YouTube and you can see the tracklist in the Downloads section. I'm sorry we're not able to make them available to you in any other way.
    Best,
    Dave

  • Hi Eder
    We've found that a small number of learners aren't able to access the playlists for the some reason. If you instead search for #FLsong on Spotify you can find the week 1 playlist that way, and then follow the link through to user AdamWhite_Sheffield where you'll see the playlists for weeks 2-6 as well. Hope that helps, please let me know if you have...

  • Don't worry Peter, this is a gentle course that is layered to appeal to all levels of ability. We'll get there together. :-)

  • You're most welcome. For future reference - when I searched I only got the result for the week 1 songs, so if you click through to user AdamWhite_Sheffield from the playlist you can find weeks 2-6 as well.

  • Hi Bryonie. I'm sorry to hear that, you appear to be one of the small handful of people who can't access the playlists for some reason. You can try finding the playlist by searching for either the title #FLsong or the user AdamWhite_Sheffield - I've just tried that method and it appeared to work. Please do let us know if you're still struggling. Best, Dave

  • What a lovely memory of your grandmother, Rex. Thank you for sharing.

  • Hi Mark

    Thanks for pointing out the titling error on the video. The banner should indeed say 'London Community Rehabilitation Company'. We'll make the change shortly. Thanks again for your contributions to the course.

    Dave

  • Thank you for your contribution Mad, we really appreciate you sharing your experiences.
