Q3. Where might institutional processes unintentionally undermine students’ sense that they matter? Reply with A3 #LTHEChat and your response

Are you a student taking the personal learning option on the #PGCerttHE? Would reading chapters of this free resource on SoTL in a supported manner as part of a reading group be of interest? Collaborate with others to enhance your practice? @[email protected]? doi.org/10.36284/cel...

#LTHEchat A3 The main challenges were remembering to give examples of practice rather than just talk about practice. This is something then to continually help our PGCerters with: Give an example of that - how do you know it worked - capture a quote from a student/a peer. They don't want to boast!

thanks as always to the guest author @richbale.bsky.social , fellow #lthechatters for insights and to the organising team behind the scenes that do all the magic. And of course @suebecks.bsky.social for keeping this brill chat going #lthechat

A6 AI Agents, yes that technology we are fascinated by, is coming for various (entry level) jobs. Using PSF and the Fellowship process to pause and show evidence of where you add human advantage is key. So is critical thinking and not believing the BS. #LTHEChat @richbale.bsky.social
