"Teaching to an imaginary audience via video is more effective for learning than teaching to a student or group of students because it minimizes distraction while freeing up the capacity to increase active generative processing" #learning #highered buff.ly/42rLu7e

‘Students in a new survey cite concerns about academic preparation, mental health and affordability. Many say college isn’t worth it.’ insidehighered.com/news/admission…

Tools like ChatGPT and Google Bard are already playing a role in education, so it's vital we all understand the benefits and risks of this new technology. We've launched a call for evidence on the role of AI in education. We want to hear from anyone who works in the sector ⬇️

"If policy remains fixated on traditional college-ready, full-time undergraduate students studying on a campus or residential model, little will change." #highered buff.ly/3r1ZFDf

The work the team at @StudyUCEM did last year on calculating study load has heavily influenced how I approach this in the design of modules with other Universities - great to see this blog now out and evidence of impact blog.ucem.ac.uk/onlineeducatio… #onlinelearning Sue Lowe

Increasing sentiment in the room that HE in England constrained by ill-defined regulatory remit, that limits innovation and opportunities for broader range of students. What are microcredentials for? Learners #ols23

This will do nothing to help students or the university sector. Degrees will become a commodity purchase for the wealthy rather than a catalyst for social mobility. This is a really disappointing move. theguardian.com/education/2023…

So, can anyone tell me why a postgrad loan isn't available to students where a uni would award RPL? Or are there ways? Genuinely interested and equally frustrated. Wonkhe Jim Dickinson @[email protected] @AndyYouell

"Colleges and universities no longer have a monopoly on credentials. Microcredentials, which are largely unregulated, will likely gain in currency, making higher education increasingly vulnerable to competitors." #highered buff.ly/2VDJxs6

What are the most effective ways to enable team or group work assessment in a fully online course, ideally asynchronously? I'm embarking on a review of the area and would love to hear your experiences or pointers to case studies/papers. 🙏 #onlinelearning #highered
