A6 you say that, but I reckon long before then we'll have genAI versions of @profsallybrown.bsky.social & @philrace.bsky.social on demand for every learning and teaching query! #LTHEchat

There was a wonderful talk on the Institute of Brilliant Failure at Jisc Digifest this year. Plenty of good examples of why tech (and other) change initiatives fail #lthechat

Students who are organised. manage their time well, prioritise etc are definitely good. The negative perception is of those who don't want to learn but only to get through exams, perhaps more instrumental than strategic #LTHEchat

A5 Funding so tuition fees for students were abolished #LTHEchat

A5 Give Education the same status and model as those in Europe have, with a cap on senior leadership pay, e.g. no more than 10 times the lowest pay and by FTE. Pay governing boards. We have the worst of business practices in the system. Just observe the damage this has done. #LTHEChat

I've been waving my mythical magic wand for years but it doesn't seem to have worked yet!
I'd gift them the fixes we know can be applied to address systemic harms. Particularly around basic skills, managing expectations, safety, wellbeing, tackling bullying, and improving access.

Apart from loads a’money you mean?
Well, going back to my A1…
A magic BS detector that could sort out those doing things for the benefit of the students from those doing things for their benefit.

A4 [Mexico] I still find engaged students... but they do seem to read less books. #LTHEchat

A5 #lthechat properly funded programmes, including appropriate pay for PGRs, better support for part time learners, esp UG, on site accommodation, green spaces and a better staff student ratio

It's also challenging because the nature of what was missed is varying between years. I don't think we fully understand how we can do things differently to support those struggles...it's something that doesn't seem to be discussed that much #LTHEchat

A5 #lthechat Hard to argue with replies on funding. But allowing students to feel financially secure to focus on their learning would make a big difference. That doesn’t mean they don’t necessarily contribute to the costs in some way.

A5 #lthechat More learning by staff? We all still need to know how it happens.

Acetate sheets, or transparencies, for overhead projectors (OHPs) used in classrooms to project written or drawn content onto a screen #LTHEchat

A4 touched on in A3 but there has been a definite shift towards consumerism.
We also see students struggling with the cost of living, having to work almost full time or multiple jobs to be able to survive.
Many students choose not to come to in person sessions and engage in other ways

Yes. Had to do lab classes. I was congratulated by the online tutor on my German accent. Quite like Geordie actually?
