Just catching up with the #LTHEchat with @richbale.bsky.social - some great questions and responses…going to take me a while! I’m currently writing my #PFHEA application, so interested to read about different experiences with #Fellowship.

A6 it’s important to bear in mind that a lot of extra “help” can sometimes be heaped on those least able to take time to engage with it. And a decolonised approach which invites open discussion of culturally privileged norms rather than assuming them or expecting uncritical adoption. #LTHEChat

A5 being online adds another layer. I have found it useful to use past students to speak to current students and speak of their experiences and the academic services that they have used. #THEchat

Q6 - How do your institutions ensure that embedded skills approaches work equitably across diverse student cohorts? Reply with A6 #LTHEChat and your response @drchrism.bsky.social

A5 The ones where curriculum is designed together with these roles. Wrote a collaborative paper on it (2022) #LTHEChat >> doi.org/10.5430/wje....

A5 #LTHEchat I wish there was some magic to this but just making sure that key people in different roles see others as those they ought to collaborate with & make an effort to find common ground. A practical thing we did was inviting ppl in various functions to present to (academic) course directors

A4 There is some integration through the University partners modules, in terms of showing students what an AI example to an assessment looks like and them critically examining it. Plus AI and Business through the topics covered. Not enough, it moves so fast! #LTHEChat

Don't get me started on this - I have and still have conversations with people in the sector about progression from #LD #EdTech roles 🙄🤷‍♀️. Most go to #EdDev, the HoD, PVC, if lucky. The cuts to these units, criminal. #LTHEChat

Q5 - What models of collaboration (academic staff, librarians, careers, learning developers) work best in embedding skills? Reply with A5 #LTHEChat and your response @drchrism.bsky.social

A3 More realistic workload models, e.g. 3hrs for every 1hr of Teaching for example might be a start. Working smarter, not harder, sharing resources, especially OERs - check out @aldinhe.bsky.social aldinhe.ac.uk/learnhigher/ my oldest running project #LoveLD

A2 #LTHEchat We have an assignment where the assessed part “discussion to camera” with a draft unmarked research proposal that is submitted for feedback. This allows students to submit their first piece of written work in a risk free environment they can reflect improve for their final assignment.

A3 #LTHEchat this is a really tough one & like so much that comes up in these chats it needs to be mediated by the fact it's competing with lots of other good things for staff time & attention. Definitely prioritise 1st year UG/1st term PG where putting in the effort stands to yield the most

A3 - in an ideal world rebalance the workload, by appropriate time being given for designing and developing learning opportunities. However, it is about recognising peer learning opportunities to shift teaching load back to students. #LTHEChat

Q3 - How do you balance the pressure of staff workload with the need to design skill-rich, contextualised learning tasks? Reply with A3 #LTHEChat and your response @drchrism.bsky.social

A2 scaffolded assignments are great, tho not all students have the same linear path through their work. TBH, dialogue with students, getting them to identify the need, own it and ask questions rather than telling them #LTHEChat

Tonight's @lthechat.bsky.social marks the 1st anniversary of the passing of the great Tom Burns 🖤co-founder of @aldinhe.bsky.social aldinhe.ac.uk/remembering-... - the topic this evening is very fitting #LoveLD 🙏 #LTHEChat
