Q2 - When you make your own disciplinary reasoning visually e.g. mapping an argument, what are you modelling beyond content? What tacit expert moves become available for students to see? Reply with A2 #LTHEChat and your response @catherineomahony.bsky.social

A1: Throughout my A-level, undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral studies; I found myself learning and battling through more and more complicated things. Things that cannot be expressed (easily) in a linear way. Diagrams have always helped me connect ideas and express complexity. #LTHEchat

Q2 - When students leave as soon as class ends, what explanations do we reach for first, and what might we be missing? Reply with A2 #LTHEChat and your response @columfromcork.bsky.social

Q1 - Think back to when you were a student. Where did the conversations that mattered most happen? Reply with A1 #LTHEChat and your response @columfromcork.bsky.social

“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

See you all next week - same time, same place! #LTHEchat Next week we will be joined by Colum Cronin, @columfromcork.bsky.social as we discuss student engagement. Colum’s blog post has the intriguing title, “Apathy or Architecture? The hidden curriculum of time and space”. See you then!

Q4 - Can students truly belong if they rarely see themselves, their histories, cultures or ways of knowing reflected in the curriculum? Reply with A4 #LTHEChat and your response @ifawolowo.bsky.social

Q3 - How much responsibility do educators have for creating belonging and what can we actually do through our everyday teaching? Reply with A3 #LTHEChat and your response @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.

Q6 - What might meaningful reflective practice look like within TNE partnerships? How can it support shared learning and ongoing improvement? Reply with A6 #LTHEChat and your response @alysonklewis.bsky.social and @heatherpennington.bsky.social

Q5 - How should colleagues’ contributions to TNE be recognised and rewarded, including those working away from their home context? What is currently overlooked? Reply with A5 #LTHEChat and your response @alysonklewis.bsky.social ‬ and @heatherpennington.bsky.social l

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

Q4 - How can we support colleagues who are new to TNE? What forms of professional learning and development are most useful? Reply with A4 #LTHEChat and your response @alysonklewis.bsky.social and @heatherpennington.bsky.social

A3 Key challenges: thinking of TNE as a copy-and-paste model; lack of representation. A practical solution is to listen to the partners' needs and then prioritise them as a team, understanding restrictions (structural, regulatory, cultural, etc) #LTHEChat

Q3 - What challenges have you experienced, or would you anticipate, when working in TNE? What practical approaches can help address them? Reply with A3 #LTHEChat and your response @alysonklewis.bsky.social and @heatherpennington.bsky.social

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
