I’m very much looking forward to presenting my doctoral research to #EdD #ProfessionalDoctorate students @wlvuni.bsky.social this morning with @gurpinderlalli.bsky.social #research #doctorate #HE #LTHEchat

A6 The National Learning and Teaching Focused Network is a good place to start. #LTHEchat ltfocusednetwork.wordpress.com

Just catching up with the #LTHEchat with @richbale.bsky.social - some great questions and responses…going to take me a while! I’m currently writing my #PFHEA application, so interested to read about different experiences with #Fellowship.

A6 it’s important to bear in mind that a lot of extra “help” can sometimes be heaped on those least able to take time to engage with it. And a decolonised approach which invites open discussion of culturally privileged norms rather than assuming them or expecting uncritical adoption. #LTHEChat

A5 being online adds another layer. I have found it useful to use past students to speak to current students and speak of their experiences and the academic services that they have used. #THEchat

Q6 - How do your institutions ensure that embedded skills approaches work equitably across diverse student cohorts? Reply with A6 #LTHEChat and your response @drchrism.bsky.social

A5 The ones where curriculum is designed together with these roles. Wrote a collaborative paper on it (2022) #LTHEChat >> doi.org/10.5430/wje....

A5 #LTHEchat I wish there was some magic to this but just making sure that key people in different roles see others as those they ought to collaborate with & make an effort to find common ground. A practical thing we did was inviting ppl in various functions to present to (academic) course directors

A4 There is some integration through the University partners modules, in terms of showing students what an AI example to an assessment looks like and them critically examining it. Plus AI and Business through the topics covered. Not enough, it moves so fast! #LTHEChat

Don't get me started on this - I have and still have conversations with people in the sector about progression from #LD #EdTech roles 🙄🤷‍♀️. Most go to #EdDev, the HoD, PVC, if lucky. The cuts to these units, criminal. #LTHEChat

Q5 - What models of collaboration (academic staff, librarians, careers, learning developers) work best in embedding skills? Reply with A5 #LTHEChat and your response @drchrism.bsky.social

A3 More realistic workload models, e.g. 3hrs for every 1hr of Teaching for example might be a start. Working smarter, not harder, sharing resources, especially OERs - check out @aldinhe.bsky.social aldinhe.ac.uk/learnhigher/ my oldest running project #LoveLD

A2 #LTHEchat We have an assignment where the assessed part “discussion to camera” with a draft unmarked research proposal that is submitted for feedback. This allows students to submit their first piece of written work in a risk free environment they can reflect improve for their final assignment.

A3 #LTHEchat this is a really tough one & like so much that comes up in these chats it needs to be mediated by the fact it's competing with lots of other good things for staff time & attention. Definitely prioritise 1st year UG/1st term PG where putting in the effort stands to yield the most

A3 - in an ideal world rebalance the workload, by appropriate time being given for designing and developing learning opportunities. However, it is about recognising peer learning opportunities to shift teaching load back to students. #LTHEChat

Q3 - How do you balance the pressure of staff workload with the need to design skill-rich, contextualised learning tasks? Reply with A3 #LTHEChat and your response @drchrism.bsky.social

A2 scaffolded assignments are great, tho not all students have the same linear path through their work. TBH, dialogue with students, getting them to identify the need, own it and ask questions rather than telling them #LTHEChat

Tonight's @lthechat.bsky.social marks the 1st anniversary of the passing of the great Tom Burns 🖤co-founder of @aldinhe.bsky.social aldinhe.ac.uk/remembering-... - the topic this evening is very fitting #LoveLD 🙏 #LTHEChat

Q2 - What strategies have you seen that make embedded skills visible and meaningful to students in assessments? Reply with A2 #LTHEChat and your response @drchrism.bsky.social

Q1 - How do your departments embed academic skills into the curriculum rather than signposting to generic “study skills” workshops? Reply with A1 #LTHEChat and your response @drchrism.bsky.social

Twelve minutes to go until this evening’s #LTHEchat :) This evening we will be discussing embedding academic skills into the curriculum. Still time to read through the blogpost at lthechat.com/2025/10/20/l... before we get started tonight #LTHEchat @drchrism.bsky.social

Join us for #LTHEchat with @drchrism.bsky.social at 8 pm GMT/ BST today! #HE #AcademicSkills lthechat.com/2025/10/20/l...

Very much looking forward to discussing the embedding of academic skills in the curriculum in this week’s #LTHEchat

See you all next week - same time, same place! #LTHEchat Next week we talk Embedding Academic Skills in UK Higher Education with the wonderful Chris Martin Have a good week everyone!

A3 #LTHEChat Business Management needs as flexible & pliable framework as possible because it's such a varied discipline. Perhaps the best approach is to think of a framework in terms of minimum standards which a module/structured activity/game should meet including relevance to subject

Q5 - Have you experimented with studio-based or project-based models in your #HE work? How did they impact student engagement and attainment? Reply with A5 #LTHEChat and your response @dwjames.bsky.social

Q3 - What would an ideal framework look like for your discipline or institution? What features of flexibility would it need? Reply with A3 #LTHEChat and your response @dwjames.bsky.social

Q2 - When working with mixed-ability groups (especially in the first year), how do you ensure less-experienced stay engaged without holding back those with more experience? Reply with A2 #LTHEChat and your response @dwjames.bsky.social

Q3 What examples have you seen of music being used effectively to support or enhance teaching and learning? Reply with A3 #LTHEChat and your response

A2. I have previously Co-authored a journal article where we used Pulp lyrics in the title. Then we saw people online saying doing this kind of thing is cringe. 🫣🤣 No regrets journals.cilip.org.uk/jil/article/... #LTHEchat

Q2 Where or when have you been prepared to ‘cross the line’ and bring your authentic self into the space of your professional identity? Reply with A2 #LTHEChat and your response
