And we’re done! Huge thank you to @leefallin.bsky.social, @tomtomlinson.bsky.social, @gemmaspencer.bsky.social and to all who have contributed to this great #LTHEchat. 🎉👏🎉

A6 - a real understanding of what life actually looks like for our students, academics, educational professionals etc. Only then can we see what lies deeper and design appropriately. How we can get there ➡️ foster open / non-judgemental spaces for these conversations to happen. #LTHEchat

A6. It would be learner-informed, collaborative and impactful and would be born out of celebrating diversity rather than accommodating it. We can learn so much from people's varied knowledge and experiences #LTHEchat

A6: inclusive learning design would be an expected element in any PD, especially when new tech is introduced. We would all be ready with the question, “so does this work for x learners?” #LTHEchat

Last one ▶️ Q6: In a perfect world, what would the future of inclusive learning design look like, and what steps can we take to get there? #LTHEchat

A5: Involving students in design is also massive - some great initiatives from UTS like this one: lx.uts.edu.au/blog/2024/12... #LTHEchat

After another year of consulting on accessibility, here are the key messages from the Student Learning Advisory Committee.

Q5: Recognising the importance of designing for diversity, how can we instill these practices within our students? #LTHEchat

A5: I think telling students how the learning design/ materials they’re using are inclusive is a great start. Pointing out what is or isn’t working well to raise awareness at first #LTHEchat

Ooh, I love this idea! #LTHEchat

Swansea Uni Library organised a human book day when I worked there, it was a day when you could book a person different to you to talk to. I think it's a powerful idea that could be used more #LTHEchat

A4: make it part of the conversation in every PD - some concepts take a while to sink in and settle, so little and often is helpful #LTHEchat

Q4: How can we make professional development on inclusive design more engaging and accessible for educators? #LTHEchat

Onwards to the third question ▶️ Q3: What are the challenges you face when designing inclusive learning materials? #LTHEchat

Q2: Share a moment when you realised the impact of inclusive design—how did it shape your practice? #LTHEchat

Q1: What does “designing for diversity” mean to you, and why is it more important than ever in education? #LTHEchat

Join us for tonight's #LTHEchat which will explore the hidden curriculum with Dr. Pam Birtill @diervilla.bsky.social , Dr. Richard Harris @richharrisleeds.bsky.social and Dr. Madeleine Pownall @maddipow.bsky.social at 8pm GMT. Read the blog post at: wp.me/p4QBCl-1O7

I started joining #LTHEChat about a year ago. So glad it has moved to BlueSky 🦋. I completely agree with everything @lucyblakemore.bsky.social has written. It is a wonderful mid week pick me up. Come and join us for a #flutterchat.

Lucy Blakemore@lucyblakemore.bsky.social · 2y ago

Thank you @suebecks.bsky.social @profsallybrown.bsky.social and @kaysambell.bsky.social for making my first #FlutterChat such a positive experience. A bit retro, but in a really good way 🙃 I'll be back! #LTHEChat #HigherEd #AcademicSky lx.uts.edu.au/blog/2025/01...

@suebecks@suebecks.bsky.social · 2y ago

Long may the time zones favour us here in the southern hemisphere… (at least until the clocks change). I’m not sure I can do 5am but 7am is achievable!

Thank you Lucy for joining us and writing this wonderful reflective blog post. I was initially inspired well over a decade ago by #edchat and #hootchat from the US and introduced tweetchats to UK educators. We look forward to seeing you and colleagues at more #LTHEchat meets!

…and also WHY they are using AI tools - this is one of the most useful conversations I’ve had with students in research interviews recently. Their reasons can help us understand what’s working and not working in the learning and teaching process #LTHEchat

I think we need to understand how students are using them outside of class and contact time with tutors. What are they askiing? What results are they getting? #LTHEchat

Huge thanks to @profsallybrown.bsky.social and @kaysambell.bsky.social for the great questions and to all who have contributed to a really interesting #LTHEchat See you next week - same time, same place! Let's get #LTHEchat trending again 🙂

A6 'authentic' always seems tied to industry-practice and employability, whereas I wish it just meant human-to-human. Makes me think of how precious learning interactions can be. Life is limited and our connections are finite. Wouldn't it be nice if authentic meant honouring that #LTHEchat

Q6. We are used to talking about authentic assessment in Higher Education. What about authentic feedback? Any examples? #LTHEchat

A5. Uni resources like these are great too lx.uts.edu.au/collections/... #LTHEchat
