Compassion has to be across the whole experience, not just assessment. #LTHEChat

#LTHEchat A1 Compassion = caring which is genuine and proactive?

Great conversations from #LTHEChat tonight on #Compassionate #assessment in HE

We need to be compassionate to students because we don’t know what they’re experiencing - domestic violence, mental health crises, caring, disability, all can impact their experiences of assessment #LTHEchat

Last Thursday, Prof Ruth Healey 💙 Georgina Spencer Laura Milne ran a Scholarship of Teaching and Learning ( #SoTL ) Symposium for 50+ colleagues. It was an AMAZING day. Here our speakers in conversation on our accompanying Speaking SoTL podcasts - lnkd.in/eFJU9sGw #issotl #lthechat

Can we be compassionate with students if we don’t show compassion in all aspects of our own lives? #LTHEchat

#LTHEchat A2 If many of our assessment practices were updated to become more ‘sensible’ and ‘reasonable’ then students would feel they are being treated with compassion.

Sorry I’m late, but I have at least made it tonight 😂 #LTHEChat

A3 remembering that the root of assessment means “to sit down together“ #lthechat

A few weeks ago on #LTHEChat I mentioned that Jane Headley James Croxford & I had held a recorded discussion about our views & personal experiences of authentic assessment. With a nudge from Sally Brown to release it, it's now available on The National Teaching Repository doi.org/10.25416/NTR.2…

Only two days to go until the #LTHEchat with #AdvanceHE and colleagues involved in the Collaborative Development Fund project Centre for Academic Development, HWU Learning & Teaching Academy, CTIL and DLTE. Join us to discuss staff and student views of #GenAI in #HigherEd .

#LTHEChat A4 Where the assessment is inclusive by design & scaffolded by active/experiential/dialogic pedagogy & developed across the programme - without then being regurgitative or 'dumbed down' but full of challenge and potential

LTHE Tweetchat A4 #LTHEchat co-ordination between module teams and specifications so students can master assessment types and regulations as they progress with their subject

#LTHEChat A1 Compassion is positive - it is not sympathy, it can be empathy, it is not patronising - it is creating a space that recognises everybody's humanity - it means to act with kindness and understanding in your heart

Looking forward to really rich discussion on #GenAI tomorrow as part of #LTHEChat and #AdvanceHEchat .

Student and staff perspectives on AI are developing as understanding of AI opportunities and challenges in HE increases. Join the conversation to explore in more depth.

A4 Some of the most personally rewarding examples have been when talking with a student about their work, finding out things I didn’t know, being genuinely surprised and excited. ‘Assessment’ is not about ‘excellence’ it’s about a sense of wonder. #lthechat

Yes, but not to the point of risking to become patronising

A6 Once again..our leaders (and we ourselves) need to think of our institutions less like an industrial process and more like a garden that needs to be nurtured. #lthechat

#LTHEChat A3 Set assignments that spark joy, curiosity & creativity - that you want to mark - that offer choice & challenge - where students can delight themselves - and you...
