2 days to go before the #LTHEchat this week! This week we will feature @alinacongreve.bsky.social exploring “How real is too real? Authentic learning and climate change across the curriculum." Check out the blog for more details:

Join us on Bluesky for #LTHEchat on Wednesday 11th February at 8pm GMT with guest @alinacongreve.bsky.social to discuss how can we empower students to be part of a larger university "How real is too real? Authentic learning and climate change across the curriculum?"

A6 Be in the physical and virtual spaces where staff and students are. It's a people thing Education. Their success is your success. You can't run a University from a spare room or ivory tower, especially not in a crisis or restructure. If more VCs did this, the sector would be better. #LTHEChat

A6 #LTHEchat Spend time in the “in‑between” spaces. Culture shows up most clearly where no one is performing. • Sit in atrium, café, or library & watch how people interact • do students mix across groups or stick to silos • listen to the tone of conversations • how do staff & students share space

Q6. What would help us to 'feel' a university culture? Reply with A6 #LTHEChat and your response

Q5. If 'flourishing lives in the operational details,' what one thing would streamline HE workloads? Reply with A5 #LTHEChat and your response

Q4. The TV series 'Undercover Boss' features CEOs in disguise investigating how their organisation really works. What might an undercover senior leader find in an HEI? Reply with A4 #LTHEChat and your response

Q3. What enables staff to feel as though their development, wellbeing and contributions are valued? Reply with A3 #LTHEChat and your response

Q2. Should creating conditions for people to flourish be the utmost priority in the HE sector at a time of competing pressures? Reply with A2 #LTHEChat and your response

Q1. Leaders should create the conditions in which academics may flourish. What does flourishing in the workplace look like / mean to you? Reply with A1 #LTHEChat and your response

#LTHEchat A6 I'd like to restart the conversation about Appropriate Tech - choosing the tech for the pedagogic purpose rather than forced to use hitech cos the uni has paid such a lot for it - and frankly prefers it to human staff. Can we have the sugarpaper & felt tips, the scissors & glue, too?

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

New preprint! @marentierra.bsky.social @irisvanrooij.bsky.social & I have been working on what CAIL means to showcase & propagate the idea of thinking very differently to tech industry norms on "artificial intelligence" Towards Critical Artificial Intelligence Literacies doi.org/10.5281/zeno... 1/

Two of the best new young bands in #sheffield the Klementines indie pop rock and Tellyeaters, tix here for Jan24th at the Greystones 🎶 🧡🎸🥁 wegottickets.com/event/686696/

A steel band playing Tchaikovsky (beautifully!) was not on my to be expected list at the Pro Chancellor inauguration and graduation ceremony held by @edeqservices.bsky.social yesterday! A unique offer for business, OD and development inc diplomas, L7 and MBA, well worth investigating.

Aside from all the other concerns, it's noticeable how the government is still ignoring the theft of intellectual property from its own citizens by AI companies in favour of encouraging external investment from big tech.
