The national pre arrival questionnaire (PAQ) is a valuable initiative led by @it-se.bsky.social with @AdvanceHE.bsky.social ALL universities would benefit from taking part in. Expressions of interest form below 👇

Do it do it do it do it do it

The pre-arrival questionnaire provides a brilliant opportunity for universities to find out about the hopes fears&aspirations of their students before they arrive in College so that preparations can be made to welcome them, ensuring higher retention&achievement thanks to @it-se.bsky.social ‘s work

If you are a uni interested in getting involved in the National PAQ pilot with @AdvanceHE and @Jisc complete the interest in participating form by the end of April 👇 wonkhe.com/blogs/the-po...

Thanks it took a massive amount of updating to take account of changes in the last 5 years! Thanks so much for all the help from @it-se.bsky.social @kaysambell.bsky.social @suebecks.bsky.social @profpeter1.bsky.social and others. We’re presenting some of our thinking at the SEDA conference in May!

The power of pre-arrival student questionnaires: I'm excited to see this potentially game-changing initiative get going in earnest. We need to understand students better as they start not on the way out. Congratulations to @it-se.bsky.social and Jonathan Neves. wonkhe.com/blogs/the-po...

Please repost - Grit Unleashed! Join us for a deep dive in a day co-designed and co-delivered by student participants themselves alongside Grit and Nottingham Trent University on June 5th from 11am to 3pm. @davidgilani.bsky.social @uniofnottingham.bsky.social @it-se.bsky.social

@it-se.bsky.social Has some really important and useful publications in the area of transition including transition between levels

Thank you Sheila lots has changed in HE since the last edition 5 years ago and this new edition reflects this.

@bevgibbs.bsky.social, Director of Dyson Inst, and EPC CEO @johnnyrich.com on innovations in Engineering pedagogy that might be helpful to @beckyfrancis.bsky.social's current review of the curriculum and assessment. Via @hepi-news.bsky.social www.hepi.ac.uk/2025/02/18/a...

@it-se.bsky.social makes an irrefutable case that LLE should extend to postgrads, but as govts have found, launching even a basic LLE is difficult. Perhaps we need to start planning phase 2 of LLE (including extending to L7) while phase 1 is still in development? www.hepi.ac.uk/2025/02/05/e...

Just dropped: @advancehe.bsky.social's #employability case study compendium. advance-he.ac.uk/news-and-vie... Had a quick glance – very useful. Looking forward to delving deeper.

Is it #school reluctance or refusal? How to tell the difference and help your child - Australian data and research, but definitely relevant to UK (and wider?). theconversation.com/is-it-school...

Excellent post from Dr Michlle Morgan @it-se.bsky.social on the value of having a National Learning Framework incorporating school, college and higher education via the Higher Education Policy Institute @hepi-news.bsky.social www.hepi.ac.uk/2025/01/07/t...

Slowly catching up on everything after an extended winter break - really enjoyed discovering this @hepi-news.bsky.social article from the lovely @it-se.bsky.social thinking about how we can improve student #transitions between different educational stages. www.hepi.ac.uk/2025/01/07/t...

Best of 2024: The seventies saw galloping inflation, strikes, and the polarisation of politics. But Debbie McVitty also finds in General Election manifestos of the time the arrival of students as a political force to be reckoned with https://wonkhe.com/blogs/higher-education-in-general-election-man…

Just sharing as many might not be aware that @lthechat.bsky.social is here. Attended some really useful sessions before & even co-hosted one. Definitely worth a follow for #LTA #learning & #teaching in #HE.

After over 10 years, this Wednesday at 8pm GMT #LTHEchat will take place in Twitter X for the final time. We look forward to bringing our weekly #LTHEchat here to Bluesky in the new year. Our incoming organising team for 2025 are already preparing for this!

Excellent presentation. Have a look @it-se.bsky.social

Great points by @debbie_mcvitty from @wonkhe.bsky.social at the #IHE2024 Annual conference talking about ‘Governing in the student interest’.
