#LTHEchat A5 If I was still teaching I would definitely include podcasts because the technology is now so much easier and flexible. Short podcasts on key concepts and common misunderstandings would be a good starting point.

#LTHEchat A3 In some cases, learning to collaborate would be good. And leaving the ego at home!

#LTHEchat A2 Trust and support probably the key factors. And ‘permission’ to be flexible.

#LTHEchat A1 You need interest and enthusiasm from those who can make it happen plus an absence of bureaucracy

#lthechat A6 Start talking about it, openly and regularly?

#lthechat A2 Just wondering where trust enters the equation. Compassion must be recognised as genuine for a full response. What is we do not trust the person who seems to be behaving compassionately?

#LTHEchat #AdvanceHE_chat A6 They can work very well if they are properly supported and valued. And that can be a big ‘if’.

#LTHEchat #AdvanceHE_chat A5 The answer to this question depends on how the management are implementing (or even permitting use of) the technology that staff could use to improve their working life. Tech can work both ways!

#LTHEchat #AdvanceHE_chat A4 They need to be open themselves! Not typical behaviour in my experience.

#LTHEchat #AdvanceHE_chat A3 Judging by several conversations I have had recently with staff in universities across the UK the rhetoric of wellbeing often fails to translate into practice.

#LTHEchat #AdvanceHE_chat A1 One way that HEIs could show more understanding of their staff is to abandon the standardisation of rules and regulations which seems so prevalent.

#LTHEchat A4 I think it might be more useful to abandon the term ‘fun’ altogether as it has so much baggage with certain colleagues. If we focus on what students might feel by the end of the session and plan accordingly (and ignore the labels) then we might make more progress.

#LTHEchat A2 In terms of the atmosphere/climate in the class then my experience is that students of typically take their primary cues from the tutor. So the main resource is your own personality.

#LTHEchat A6 Think that we need a new approach for both students and staff which recognises that the IT landscape has changed. We can achieve what we want with a variety of techniques and kit. We should be encouraging everyone to find the strategies that suit them.

#LTHEchat A6 Aren’t there alternatives (and there may be some just round the corner)? What about Open Source?

#LTHEchat A5 Isn’t it possible to have some university-wide strategy which covers things like attribution and fair use and then we let courses/programmes decide on the limits of specific uses to suit their disciplines?

#LTHEchat A4 Issn’t this a question for a course team to answer? It would not be sensible for very tutor to dive into GenAI off their own bat but shouldn’t the course have a coherent strategy?

#LTHEchat A3 If we do not engage then some learners will use it badly and we will fail to learn from those students who will become experts regardless.
