Looking forward to #LTHEchat with the fab Scholarship Spotlight team! Join us to shine a spotlight on all things scholarship 🥳 @profearle17.bsky.social @suebecks.bsky.social @rosegann.bsky.social @smithysusan.bsky.social @archaeocobb.bsky.social @juliehulme-psyc.bsky.social @profdawne.bsky.social

If you push an LLM for a finished answer too early, you get generic results. Slow down the conversation establishes built-in quality control and delivers genuinely useful analysis: llmapplied.blogspot.com/2026/05/iter... #PromptEngineering #GenerativeAI #LLM

Join us for this week’s #LTHEchat which will explore pracademia and professional ID with Jill Dickinson (@jilldickinson.bsky.social), Monika Foster (@monika-foster06.bsky.social), and Debbie Rigby (@debbierigby.bsky.social) on Wednesday, 8-9pm BST Read the blog post at: lthechat.com/2026/05/31/l...

really enjoyed the chat @ka81.bsky.social and well done on the PhD

Completely agree #LTHEchat

#LTHEchat A6 education practices been rotinely taught that expects students to be extrovert - only a few are in my area

Me and @scottturneruon.bsky.social here both of same camp so teachers. I often encourage schools to tell HE what it needs so would encourage all schools to do that with local universities #LTHEchat

A5 #LTHEchat spin it around how should Schools collaborated with local HE educators - let HE help them, tell us what we can do to help. when schools/colleges do that the student experience is better. Also the other way around HE should highlighting the right Uni is different for different peoiple

A3 #LTHEchat difficult to do becuase of time pressures but small groups work with less 'tell the whole class what you come up with'; that is a mixture of outreach (at their place) but in-reach on university campus to less than the shock.

#LTHEchat completely agree a 18/19 year old going into a school environment and been treated as someone with subject knowledge as well(because they do) is a serious confidence boost

A2 #LTHEchat no sure but probably understanding that the sources of information expected is wider and more diverse; referencing is a good thing not a weakness, because you didn't come up with the idea

A1 #LTHEchat, have targetted activities. In Computing, the student body has generally higher proportion of studetns who are neurodiverse and more introverted (rather than shy) small group activities - but also pass on the message that the students and staff know this and like it.

A1 #LTHEchat as a head of subject team. Recruitment is the blanket term for getting students. Inclusive outreach is part of recruitment but focusing on activities that are targetted for example not going for easy wins like Grammar schools, but schools and FEcolleges - you go to them

Join us on Bluesky for #LTHEchat on Wednesday 6th May at 8pm BST with guest Sarah Telfer @stelfer.bsky.social to discuss how storytelling can be used as an employability tool to help educators reflect on their professional journey. lthechat.com/2026/05/03/l...

Updated with a video showing the prompt in action. Using AI as a “mirror” can help students turn vague project ideas into focused, feasible, academically stronger proposals. llmapplied.blogspot.com/2026/03/ai-a... #GenAI #AIinEducation #PromptEngineering #HigherEd

Same prompt. Different AI tools. Different answers. So which one is correct? That’s the wrong question. AI doesn’t retrieve truth—it generates probability. llmapplied.blogspot.com/2026/04/same... #AI #GenerativeAI #AIliteracy

Looks like a great chat

Stop settling for shallow AI summaries. 🛑 To get a real critique, you need to change the structure of the conversation. Use a dual-persona, multi-stage approach to subject documents to 'expert'-level scrutiny. 🧠📖 🔗 llmapplied.blogspot.com/2026/04/anal... #AI #PromptEngineering #LLMs #ResearchTools

What if you gave your AI code reviewer a personality? Define two expert personas → have them debate your code → answer one question per round → get revised output when you're done. Full breakdown 👇 🔗 llmapplied.blogspot.com/2026/04/quic... #PromptEngineering #GenerativeAI #SoftwareDev #LLM

A6 #LTHechat Purposefully collect data #EasierSaidThanDone For a paragraph 1. Start with the change (centre) 2. Anchor it in student evidence 3. Corroborate with peer perspective 4. Interpret through theory 4. Reflect briefly on what you learned #Scaffolding

#RuleOfThumb #LTHEchat examining each lens and asking If impact feels thin → strengthen the student lens If claims feel self‑justifying → add the peer lens If practice feels context‑bound → deepen the theoretical lens If the narrative lacks coherence → clarify the autobiographical lens

#LTHEchat 1. Student evidence answers whether there was impact 2. Theory explains what kind of impact 3. Peers confirm trustworthiness 4. Autobiography shows responsibility and learning
