It was great to celebrate with our staff this morning! Congrats to all.

A lovely reflection on how the PGCert, in particular professional learning through peer observation supported Angharad's confidence and expertise #SUSALTPGCerttHE

It's taken many weeks of planning with my brilliant colleague Alison Purvis to organise the 10th Social Media for Learning in HE conference with support from our amazing cross insitutional steering group. Takes place next week and we can't wait to welcome everyone! #SocMedHE24

Great to catch up with Marcela, Nigel and Charlie several years after their PG Cert and to hear what's been achieved and their tips to others embarking on their career teaching in Higher Education #HigherEd

LTHE Tweetchat A2. Ensure 2nd year male students were available in sports facilities with relevant support information probably a couple of weeks into start of term. Then advertise dropin sessions there once a month. #LTHEchat Difficult to resource so maybe some elements online but advertised

LTHE Tweetchat A3. Set up some playful games online to get them using the VLE with hidden words to bring to face to face or online seminars. Would start this before they arrived. Teaching would incorporate elements of ‘find this on the VLE’, ‘Post a comment in the chat’…. #LTHEchat

LTHE Tweetchat I’d create a quiz to be done in lesson one with info to be found on the VLE It could be an escape room activity #LTHEchat A3

LTHE Tweetchat A4 Fold and scaffold it into the first year of study, so they find materials as part of their assessment, so it’s contextualised and meaningful and engaging / fun, not a dry abstract library induction. We need to bring in supporters of learning and teaching. #LTHEChat

LTHE Tweetchat A4 I add an activity into my modules so students have to identify the shelf number of a book in class and then visit the library to collect the book and bring it back to class. #LTHchat

LTHE Tweetchat A5 They have the skills to learn well at University, including knowing how to research, reference and write in academic English. Also, they have the cultural capital, often narrow Western Eurocentric ‘elite’ that excludes many ways of knowledge. #LTHEChat

LTHE Tweetchat A5 I think a lot of universities assume students will make friends easily and that they will become friends with the random strangers placed in their flat or a few large fresher events are all it takes to make that happen. Not all students find making friends easy. #LTHEChat

LTHE Tweetchat A6 what they would like to tell me, what they need me to know. Different students need me to know different things about them and have different readiness to disclose. It takes time #LTHEchat
