Just preparing slides for my guest talk to #EdD #thesis students at @wlvuni.bsky.social next Saturday 🙂 #research #doctoralstudy #MixedMethods #Bourdieu #SDT #LanguageLearning #LTHEchat

Absolutely chuffed that our abstract for the #Assessment in #HE Conference has been accepted for a mini-keynote 🙂 buzzing but slightly terrified! #AuthenticAssessment #Motivation #Engagement #LTHEchat

Forgive me, but how is the new Ofsted “Report Card” any different from giving one word inspection judgements? #Ofsted #SecondaryEd

It takes students two years to move from L2 to L3, but there is an expectation that students will be working at L4 by the end of a 12-week semester. Do any #HE colleagues recognise this in their assessment practice and only assess at L4 (or L5 or L6) in S2? #Transition #LTHEchat #HE #Assessment

#LTHEchat will transition to Bluesky in January 2025. If you would like to be a guest and propose a topic for discussion along with six questions please complete this form. forms.gle/buy1MVrcvz3n...

Seeing this openly advertised makes me angry - it is impossible to write a PhD in six months and if anyone has, I’d love to hear about it. I would question the validity and robustness of the study if completed in only six months. A blatant lie and misleading marketing in my opinion.

This sign was spotted in Tesco…not in #Cymru, no…in Willenhall in the West Midlands 😂 does dim lot o bobol yn yr ardal pwy sy’n siarad #Cymraeg 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Absolutely horrified to hear that an esteemed institution like Sheffield is being forced to consider redundancies in subject areas that are ranked very highly in the UK and across the world. Our sector is on the brink #HE #universities #torylegacy

Hey everyone! Quick question - does anyone know of any intensive courses in #BSL for someone who is looking to upskill quite quickly, please? #signlanguage
