Passionate about improving the student and staff experience in HE so I created a free portal of collated information, guidance and advice for staff to help them based on my Student Experience Transitions Model http://www.improvingthestudentexperience.com/

I’m sure @it-se.bsky.social will have plenty to say about that. Have you heard about her national level pre university entry survey that she is piloting with Advance HE?

The national pre arrival questionnaire (PAQ) is a valuable initiative led by @it-se.bsky.social with @AdvanceHE.bsky.social ALL universities would benefit from taking part in. Expressions of interest form below 👇

Do it do it do it do it do it

The pre-arrival questionnaire provides a brilliant opportunity for universities to find out about the hopes fears&aspirations of their students before they arrive in College so that preparations can be made to welcome them, ensuring higher retention&achievement thanks to @it-se.bsky.social ‘s work

If you are a uni interested in getting involved in the National PAQ pilot with @AdvanceHE and @Jisc complete the interest in participating form by the end of April 👇 wonkhe.com/blogs/the-po...

Thanks it took a massive amount of updating to take account of changes in the last 5 years! Thanks so much for all the help from @it-se.bsky.social @kaysambell.bsky.social @suebecks.bsky.social @profpeter1.bsky.social and others. We’re presenting some of our thinking at the SEDA conference in May!

The power of pre-arrival student questionnaires: I'm excited to see this potentially game-changing initiative get going in earnest. We need to understand students better as they start not on the way out. Congratulations to @it-se.bsky.social and Jonathan Neves. wonkhe.com/blogs/the-po...

Please repost - Grit Unleashed! Join us for a deep dive in a day co-designed and co-delivered by student participants themselves alongside Grit and Nottingham Trent University on June 5th from 11am to 3pm. @davidgilani.bsky.social @uniofnottingham.bsky.social @it-se.bsky.social

At last!the sixth edition!

We will be there!

@it-se.bsky.social Has some really important and useful publications in the area of transition including transition between levels

Thank you Sheila lots has changed in HE since the last edition 5 years ago and this new edition reflects this. It was a lot of work and we were helped by good friends including @it-se.bsky.social @suebecks.bsky.social @profpeter1.bsky.social @kaysambell.bsky.social @markglynn.bsky.social and others

Where does time fly! Published 12 years ago with 40 good practice case studies and chapter experts from across the world using student experience transitions model.

@bevgibbs.bsky.social, Director of Dyson Inst, and EPC CEO @johnnyrich.com on innovations in Engineering pedagogy that might be helpful to @beckyfrancis.bsky.social's current review of the curriculum and assessment. Via @hepi-news.bsky.social www.hepi.ac.uk/2025/02/18/a...

@it-se.bsky.social makes an irrefutable case that LLE should extend to postgrads, but as govts have found, launching even a basic LLE is difficult. Perhaps we need to start planning phase 2 of LLE (including extending to L7) while phase 1 is still in development? www.hepi.ac.uk/2025/02/05/e...

Just dropped: @advancehe.bsky.social's #employability case study compendium. advance-he.ac.uk/news-and-vie... Had a quick glance – very useful. Looking forward to delving deeper.

Is it #school reluctance or refusal? How to tell the difference and help your child - Australian data and research, but definitely relevant to UK (and wider?). theconversation.com/is-it-school...

Excellent post from Dr Michlle Morgan @it-se.bsky.social on the value of having a National Learning Framework incorporating school, college and higher education via the Higher Education Policy Institute @hepi-news.bsky.social www.hepi.ac.uk/2025/01/07/t...

Slowly catching up on everything after an extended winter break - really enjoyed discovering this @hepi-news.bsky.social article from the lovely @it-se.bsky.social thinking about how we can improve student #transitions between different educational stages. www.hepi.ac.uk/2025/01/07/t...

Join us for #LTHEchat with @kiusum.bsky.social and @sfaulknerpando.bsky.social at 8pm GMT today. Review the blog post for more information lthechat.com/

Best of 2024: The seventies saw galloping inflation, strikes, and the polarisation of politics. But Debbie McVitty also finds in General Election manifestos of the time the arrival of students as a political force to be reckoned with https://wonkhe.com/blogs/higher-education-in-general-election-man…

Just sharing as many might not be aware that @lthechat.bsky.social is here. Attended some really useful sessions before & even co-hosted one. Definitely worth a follow for #LTA #learning & #teaching in #HE.

After over 10 years, this Wednesday at 8pm GMT #LTHEchat will take place in Twitter X for the final time. We look forward to bringing our weekly #LTHEchat here to Bluesky in the new year. Our incoming organising team for 2025 are already preparing for this!

Excellent presentation. Have a look @it-se.bsky.social

Great points by @debbie_mcvitty from @wonkhe.bsky.social at the #IHE2024 Annual conference talking about ‘Governing in the student interest’.
