A1. A team member created an 'escape box' using questions about the local area. It was a pre-arrival activity to support the transition to university #LTHEchat

Final reminder. #LTHEchat is happening TODAY at 20:00 GMT/ BST. We will be joined by @lizcable.bsky.social and will be discussing game-based learning. Read the blog for more: lthechat.com/2025/02/17/l...

A1. Start by 'getting to know' your learners and understanding needs. All 'things' that are created, from resources to the website should be inclusive and accessible. Crucial for enabling all to reach their potential by removing barriers #LTHEchat

Join us for this week’s #LTHEchat which will explore designing for diverse learners with Lee Fallin @leefallin.bsky.social, Tom Tomlinson @tomtomlinson.bsky.social and Gemma Spencer @gemmaspencer.bsky.social on Wednesday 8-9pm GMT. Read the blog post at: lthechat.com/2025/02/09/l...

A2. It can be particularly challenging if a student has grown up believing they are not good enough, they're inferior, due to emotional abuse. They may not even want to look at feedback because of this. More understanding and support needed to help view feedback as positive for growth #LTHEchat

A2. Being able to receive feedback is an essential skill throughout life, particularly in the world of work. It can be taken personally, particularly if not delivered well or had bad experiences. Needs to be clear and constructive #LTHEchat

*Thus Spoke Zarathustra* is a sublime text that has significantly impacted my thinking. My doctoral research applied Nietzsche's key tenets to interrogate values and culture within #highereducation and the effects on institutional hierarchies and relationships. #Nietzsche #philosophy #academia
