We need to develop better practices around exemplars! Why do students need to start things from scratch anyway?

A6 I am all for partnership and co-creation. We should listen when they tell us there's a problem. However, we created this mess and we need to take responsibility for it. Serving the students is our motivation. There are enough challenges without asking them to solve this one. #LTHEchat

#HiddenCurriculum

A6. The role of experiencing the issues it presents... Have students from years above talk to those in years below (or make "one thing I wish I knew when..." videos). Use all student feedback (yes, that includes the NSS) to see what you could pre-emptively scaffold in. Talk with reps. #LTHEchar

A2 I can identify elements of the Hidden #Curriculum when we explore a theme/topic that was not part of the #learning outcomes, but students are very engaged. So the #dilemma is to explore these themes more or go back to the intended learning outcomes #LTHEchat

Zigactly this ⬇️

A4 Some examples when making the hidden curriculum more explicit: 👉🏽Giving options so that students can express knowledge: talking, writing, voting, etc 👉🏽Providing different assessment methods 👉🏽Giving some time to explore topics not part of the LO The idea is to build trust, improve agency #LTHEchat

A5 #LTHEchat tempted to say there's a big role for course leaders/L&T leaders (the sort of thing that I did for 13 years until last year) here: they can set expectations among individual lecturers & tutors about how these things are communicated to students & build some consistency in processes
