Good chat, thanks all! Off to start the day here in Sydney now ☀️👋

A6: inclusive learning design would be an expected element in any PD, especially when new tech is introduced. We would all be ready with the question, “so does this work for x learners?” #LTHEchat

A5: Involving students in design is also massive - some great initiatives from UTS like this one: lx.uts.edu.au/blog/2024/12... #LTHEchat

A5: I think telling students how the learning design/ materials they’re using are inclusive is a great start. Pointing out what is or isn’t working well to raise awareness at first #LTHEchat

Ooh, I love this idea! #LTHEchat

A4: make it part of the conversation in every PD - some concepts take a while to sink in and settle, so little and often is helpful #LTHEchat

Onwards to the third question ▶️ Q3: What are the challenges you face when designing inclusive learning materials? #LTHEchat

Q2: Share a moment when you realised the impact of inclusive design—how did it shape your practice? #LTHEchat

Q1: What does “designing for diversity” mean to you, and why is it more important than ever in education? #LTHEchat

Join us for tonight's #LTHEchat which will explore the hidden curriculum with Dr. Pam Birtill @diervilla.bsky.social , Dr. Richard Harris @richharrisleeds.bsky.social and Dr. Madeleine Pownall @maddipow.bsky.social at 8pm GMT. Read the blog post at: wp.me/p4QBCl-1O7

Looking forward to it! Bring us your best (and trickiest!) questions…

I started joining #LTHEChat about a year ago. So glad it has moved to BlueSky 🦋. I completely agree with everything @lucyblakemore.bsky.social has written. It is a wonderful mid week pick me up. Come and join us for a #flutterchat.

Long may the time zones favour us here in the southern hemisphere… (at least until the clocks change). I’m not sure I can do 5am but 7am is achievable!

Thank you @suebecks.bsky.social @profsallybrown.bsky.social and @kaysambell.bsky.social for making my first #FlutterChat such a positive experience. A bit retro, but in a really good way 🙃 I'll be back! #LTHEChat #HigherEd #AcademicSky lx.uts.edu.au/blog/2025/01...

'This is not quite what I planned' (which could describe most of my work, but here refers to a reflective pie chart in which I review last year's work. #QualitativeResearch #Freelance open.substack.com/pub/lucyblak...

For those educators just joining Bluesky, I have a List containing a growing collection of educators in higher education. May help you identify interesting [eople to extend your new network. Follow the link to access bsky.app/profile/did:... #LTHEchat

…and also WHY they are using AI tools - this is one of the most useful conversations I’ve had with students in research interviews recently. Their reasons can help us understand what’s working and not working in the learning and teaching process #LTHEchat

🇫🇯 "We went in, surrendered our egos, our preconceived thoughts, we got uncomfortable and we opened our hearts and minds to the incredible levels of insight the study experience had to offer." #StudentMobility at its thoughtful best, from Zainab Zahr at UTS (Health). lx.uts.edu.au/blog/2025/01...

Join us for this week’s #LTHEchat which will explore Generative AI (GenAI) with @jamesbedford.bsky.social on Wednesday, 8-9pm GMT. Read the blog post at: lthechat.com

Was fun, thanks! Love a good #Flutterchat 🦋 #LTHEchat

Q6. We are used to talking about authentic assessment in Higher Education. What about authentic feedback? Any examples? #LTHEchat

A5. Uni resources like these are great too lx.uts.edu.au/collections/... #LTHEchat

Q5. What are your go-to resources on feedback? #LTHEchat. Reply with A5 #LTHEchat and your response

Q4: What strategies might be used to make feedback manageable for assessors? #LTHEchat

The #LTHEchat is happening right now. Follow the hashtag and join the conversation. ✨ #academicsky #edusky

💯 - tone, language, timing etc. all makes a huge difference in feedback. Emotional indeed. #LTHEchat

Q3: What can be done to involve students in generating rather than just receiving feedback? What are the benefits or challenges? #LTHEchat

...and that feedback is worth the effort, not just another hoop to jump through/ box to tick #LTHEchat
