    Dear Timo Elliott,
    Yesterday I came across your inspiring website with the great cartoons. Wonderful work! I would love to use your analytics cartoons for an input talk on “AI-powered personalised learning” at the AI Symposium of the AMEE 2024 conference. AMEE 2024 is the largest health professions education conference in Europe and I will be attending as a representative of the AMEE Technology-enhanced Learning Committee.
    I don’t intend to make any changes to your cartoon, and there will be a link to your site on the slide. Would that be all right with you?

    Kind regards from Berlin
    Julius

    Hello Timo,

    Awesome work! Would it be possible to be granted permission to include your “Gut Feel” cartoon for a presentation I’ll give at my workplace? I’m presenting on a data management initiative I have spearheaded since joining the organization in February. Your cartoon could be a great way to start my presentation for many audience members with little knowledge of this topic or needing an “icebreaker” to ease into the subject matter.

    Thank you,

    Hello Timo,

    With your permission, I would like to use some of your Analytics Cartoons as part of an online course I am creating at Missouri Baptist University entitled Learning Innovations for Continuous School Improvement. These will be aspiring superintendents taking this course.

    I think they might bring some visual interest and levity to a very weighty topice and would like to utilize a few if you would give us the permission to use them in this course.

    Our best wishes and keep up the good work!

    Hello Timo,

    With your permission, we’d like to use your Analytics Cartoons as part of our educational posts on our social media accounts (mainly LinkedIn, but also Facebook, Instagram and Twitter sometimes) for our data analytics and BI solutions.

    We find them very creative and we’re thinking of using some of them as part of a series of subject-related posts if you’d give us the permission to use them.

    Our best wishes and keep up the good work!

      Titiana, sure — but be aware that I work for SAP, so I’m probably a competitor!
