Q6: Looking ahead: what is one small but meaningful change you could make in the next semester that keeps learning human in a GenAI-rich world? Reply with A6 #LTHEChat and your response

Q5. GenAI does not “live” the same way in every discipline. Where do you see productive disciplinary differences emerging, and where are blanket policies getting in the way? Reply with A5 #LTHEChat and your response

Q4. Transparency is described in the Manifesto as “the new integrity”. How comfortable are we “really” with being open about how GenAI is used by staff and students? Reply with A4 #LTHEChat and your response

Q3. Many institutions have focused on detection and restriction. What would it look like to design learning and assessment assuming GenAI is present? Reply with A3 #LTHEChat and your response

Q2. The Manifesto for Generative AI in Higher Education argues that we teach in an age of abundance, not scarcity. What does that idea challenge most in current higher-education practice? Reply with A2 #LTHEChat and your response

Q1. We talk a lot about GenAI as a “disruption”. What actually feels disrupted in your teaching or learning practice, and what hasn’t changed at all? Reply with A1 #LTHEChat and your response

A2 To me it refers to the fact knowledge is freely accessible but critical thinking (selecting info, finding connections, critical analysis, applying knowledge in new contexts) is what needs to be taught and developed in HE #LTHEchat

Looking forward to this! Join us for #LTHEchat which will explore Teaching, Learning, Assessment and GenAI with the amazing @hazelfarrell.bsky.social & @kenmccarthy.ie tonight Wednesday 8-9pm GMT. lthechat.com/2026/01/16/l...

Debunking Learning Styles is something we have to do each cohort of new educators (and students too). This notes something we ought to discuss more - the damage of the labelling. A lot of students come in with this (for whatever reason) from school. carlhendrick.substack.com/p/the-learni...
