When students see their input treated with respect and consideration, even if not always implemented, they’re more likely to provide thoughtful, constructive feedback in the future. wp.me/peKPOF-e6 #EduSky #AcademicSky #Feedback

Generative AI reinforcing harmful stereotypes? Colour me completely unsurprised. #EdTech #AIinEDI #UDL

Create a scenario in which a participant will need to apply their learning. The more real-world the scenario, the more your participants will be able to relate to it and the more authentic the question will be for your participants (which leads to more buy-in). || #EduSky #AcademicSky

The BBC's Accessibility Guide has several resources, including step-by-step instructions to using assistive technologies. The resource includes insight into several assistive technologies, including VoiceOver, JAWS, NVDA, TalkBack, ClaroRead, and Dragon. bbc.github.io/accessibilit...

In higher education, we feel this pressure that we need to be perfect in our video delivery. Don't. Be authentic. Make mistakes. The students will connect with you better if you're authentically yourself. theeddesigner.com/2024/06/20/p... #EduSky #EdTech #AcademicSky

Hate it or love it, students are going to use it, and they will need to use it in their careers. If we teach them how to use it, they may understand the ethical implications of using it and be able to think critically about what's generated. wp.me/peKPOF-hM #AIinEDU #EdTech #EduSky #Academicsky

One key feature of mandatory compliance training quizzes is that many of the answers are incomprehensibly obvious to anyone who has never read the material. || #EduSky #EduSkyAI #AIinEducation

I'm always so intrigued by conversations surrounding norms. It's often a conversation that involves someone complaining that others don't follow their norm, and no thought or consideration that everyone has their own norms. || theeddesigner.com/2024/07/18/s... #EduSky #AcademicSky #UDL

We get so uncomfortable when we ask the class a question and are met with silence, but students need time to process. If we talk over that silence then someone who might want to respond doesn’t have a chance to. || theeddesigner.com/2025/06/05/t... #EduSky #EdChat #AcademicSky

Don’t get me started on student evaluation of teaching. Get feedback outside that mechanism and use it to improve the course in the same semester that they give the feedback. theeddesigner.com/2025/01/10/t... || #UDL #AcademicSky #EduSky

Enacting student feedback supports student agency and helps them to feel included and respected in the learning process. How do you separate valid criticisms from noise? This post offers three criteria for determining whether to implement student feedback. || #EduSky #AcademicSky #HigherEd

All information has bias, and AI amalgamates the dominant bias. Everyone needs critical data literacy, now more than ever.

Super important disclaimer: AI always needs human oversight. If you're creating any kind of branching scenario about people, know the bias inherent within AI and take steps to manage it by being selective about what you use. theeddesigner.com/2024/05/23/u... || #Edusky #EdTech #AIinEDU

Learning outcomes can seem like bureaucratic hoops to jump through, but think of them like your teaching GPS: when they’re well-designed, they keep everyone heading in the right direction and help you know when you’ve actually reached your destination. wp.me/peKPOF-eh || #EduSky #TeacherTips

This level of group work support will initially increase teacher workload but it will go a long way in preventing major headaches for everyone. Students will be able to collaborate more effectively and develop real-world team skills. wp.me/peKPOF-dU || #EduSky #AcademicSky #TeacherTips #UDL

Mindful choices of imagery, particularly when including images that are representative of the average humans around us, can increase student belonging in a course. Mindful means they need to be representative without being tokenistic or stereotyping. wp.me/peKPOF-dL || #EduSky #UDL #EdTech

Allow students to turn off cameras in the main room and encourage the use of cameras in breakout rooms. This reduces the number of students they are letting into their bedrooms and allows them an opportunity to build trust with those in their group. wp.me/peKPOF-a6 || #EdTech #Edusky #AcademicSky

If you’re on academia dot edu, let me suggest that you strongly consider deleting your account.

How do 'little', 'some', 'highly' and 'exceptionally' differ? Each marker can have a different expectation of the level required of these words. What looks like ‘highly relevant’ to me may look ‘exceptionally relevant’ to you. wp.me/peKPOF-aq #Edusky #AcademicSky

Capitalization affects how people read hashtags or how people hear them on screen readers. Use #camelCase or #PascalCase in hashtags instead of lowercase. You could have #DoctorWhoRewatch ("Doctor Who Rewatch") or #doctorwhorewatch ("doctor whore watch.")

Finding the appropriate podcasts for your content can be a time-consuming task, and it’s possible you may not discover anything appropriate. Creating your own podcasts may require some technical skills, though not as many as you may think. wp.me/peKPOF-k || #EduSky #AcademicSky #EdTech

I love questioning frameworks. The questions in this resource will help educators to motivate students to engage with the course, align the resources with the learning outcomes, and integrate their expert insights into the learning. #Edusky #AcademicSky #UDL
