@goodfoodeveryday.bsky.social Made the Pumpkin spiced meringue stack today from October's 2026 magazine Lovely. A generous 8 portion dessert though...probably serves 10-12. Didn't read the 'blob' advice so my palova are "flat". Mine left, magazine image right. #GoodFoodBakingClub

For assessment, this often comes up around choice and exemplars. Exemplars can (sometimes) lead to students copying approach instead of making choices that are best for them. Having more open choices and not saying ‘this is how you should do it’ challenges Hard initially, but better outcomes

Not able to participate live this evening but am curious to see how @dougspecht.bsky.social teases out what "good friction” looks like in practice #lthechat

Great to work collaboratively with colleagues (Sarah Broadberry, Kelly Sisson and @clairetimmins.bsky.social) across institutions in the UK on a recent article published on the value of the Supporting Programme Leadership Development Network: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... #SPLDN 1/2

"Imperfect design and teaching for uncertainty" www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... with @lucilacarvalho.bsky.social & @markauskaite.bsky.social Education is not something optimisable, seamless with guaranteed outcomes. Its inevitable imperfection can be a generative source of unexpected value

What a fab activity, especially if you have n international cohort!

My colleague @nbridgeman.bsky.social uses a great interactive map activity #LTHEchat blog.shu.ac.uk/sotl/using-i...

A6 #LTHEChat Build in time during the week to allow students freedom to choose what to do for an hour or two before returning to class. It might be study, it might be coffee, it might be clubs and societies

“Care doesn’t have a KPI” is powerful. Perhaps the problem is that we measure what is easy to count rather than what truly matters. Care, kindness and compassion may be harder to quantify, but their impact can be seen in whether people thrive, stay and belong. #LTHEchat

On behalf of the Education Development Team, many congratulations to Dr. Nia Davies and Dr. Aidan Seeley of Swansea University for gaining PFHEA recognition in recent weeks #PSF2023 #PFHEA #Recognition @maritag.bsky.social @advancehe.bsky.social @rajeshdhimar.bsky.social

LTHEChat 373: Beyond Inclusion: Can We Teach for Belonging? 

Join us on Wednesday, 23rd of September at 8:00pm (GMT/BST) with our guest contributor, Francis Awolowo from Sheffield Hallam University, @ifawolowo.bsky.social. This #LTHEChat on BlueSky will consider "What might higher education look like if belonging were not an accidental outcome, but an intentional part of how we teach?" Introduction Students can be admitted to university, attend our lectures, submit assessments, achieve good grades, and graduate, yet never truly feel that they belong.

A6 Sometimes we underestimate the importance of role models in the local HE institution. There should be a lessons learned journal that can be shared when working in a similar context, maybe sharing these in different formats like podcasts, videos, blogs, etc #LTHEChat

A2 Of course there should be adaptations for the local context but to what extent? If they go too far, isn't there a danger of compromising the initial goal of providing students with a degree corresponding to the awarding body standards? #LTHEchat

A4 For colleagues new to TNE, the most valuable staff development focuses on helping them understand both the operational requirements and the human dimensions of partnership working. #LTHEchat

A1 Effective TNE partnership should be two way to enrich all parties. Both parties should have a stake, buy-in and benefits. They need resourcing in the right areas, not just trips to location X etc. Wrote this in 2024 with Dr Dom Conroy - www.timeshighereducation.com/campus/cross... #LTHEChat

A brilliant time benefitting from the sessions at this week's Swansea University Learning and teaching event #EdEx26. As one of the organising Education Development Team it's always a nervous time hoping things go as planned but it was great! Such shared practice and collaborative opportunities!

Fantastic to be at this week's Celebration of Professional Recognition Panel where another 50 staff gained Advance HE fellowships recognition brings the total to 78 staff this academic year. #AHEFellowship #AFHEA #FHEA #SFHEA

A5 Care weaved into every action, session taught, with policies and strategies written with care in mind. I have said in #LTHEChat before that Care Doesn't Have a KPI, but it has a cost - in learning, opportunity, life chances for our students. #LTHEChat
