Excellent day presenting and discussing #SoTL today with colleagues at University of Chester. Always good to catch up with old friends and meet new colleagues. Lots of take aways & a reminder of how important development time really is.

Whether we stick rigidly to reflection models or dip in and out of them to assist us in the process, I welcome this contribution. Particularly like the way this points to action and the way it aligns with personal identity.

Really glad I made it to this lecture - reminded me of the benefits of learning beyond our immediate disciplines. Particularly interested in the synergies between strategies for change in agriculture & in education, especially noted the need for us to notice who is represented in…

A few of us are in the middle of a systematic mapping based on abstracts - our job would be so much more straightforward if abstracts were written in this way. Sometimes efforts to be novel really do cause confusion (for me at least!).

Knowing if AI is giving you garbage requires an understanding of what quality is. This 'evaluative judgement' is perhaps the most crucial capability in a time of AI

I always watch with interest on the discussions about what colleagues are reading (personal and professional), so I’m sharing our latest book delivery 📚 🚚 to inspire our new revalidated PgC and accreditation scheme. Despite my tech habit I’m not ready to give up paper books!

I really enjoyed talking with colleagues at University of Chester on SoTL. We covered action research,writing together, community, being busy(!), students as partners, reflection, and more. open.spotify.com/episode/3rfhPh…

Fabulous couple of days of walking in the Peak District. This time last year I struggled to walk between buildings on campus because of an injury. I will be forever grateful for the surgery that allowed me to have days like this back 🦶 🌞 ⛰️ 🐶

“Give me feedback” is like walking into a restaurant and saying “Give me food.” #feedbackseeking

Two days on our PgC talking assessment and feedback and using our new, snazzy/glossy TopTrump assessment cards to provoke discussion. Great to finally get to use these . An examination of the cards we rejected (the ‘I’d never do that list’) demonstrated how our assessment choices…

We’ll be using this resource today on our PgC to highlight the need to be critical amongst feedback literature. Thanks for creating this David Carless Prof Naomi Winstone

Useful examples of using living labs for authentic assessment from colleagues Keele University 🐿️ 🐿️ Emphasises how rich a campus environment can be for learning when utilised.

Nice piece reinforcing the value of ‘the middle’ in an organisation- middle managers ‘absorb’ challenges & pressures from both above & below so it’s positive to see this role recognised. Particularly like the recognition of everyday interactions as setting the tone for culture.

Delighted to be involved in this collaboration, with VMD taking lessons from our Learning and Teaching provision to a whole new context.

Led a class exercise to make 'Digital Top Trumps' where students design future digital skills cards, influenced by their views, research & AI. They rated these skills by difficulty and growth opportunities. The result? a GPT wordcloud. A productive way to explore digital skills.
