Hosting #LTHEchat 318: Designing for Diverse Learners:

Q3. How can we help non-game playing educators use games in learning situations? #LTHEChat

Q5. How can we best use games in assessment of learning? Do you have any examples? #LTHEChat

Last question Q6. Game-based learning design takes time. How best can we collaborate on and share our games for HE? #LTHEChat

Q4. What role can students play in designing games to support their learning, and how can we facilitate this? #LTHEChat

A week from today!

#LoveLD love the L&T Chat Show podcast double bill, with Carys Watts on 'Learning to Fail', helping her enterprise students reach their potential and Virna Rossi on 'Evidencing Impact', a must for anyone thinking about promotion, fellowship or NTF. open.spotify.com/show/7CyKtc2...

Looking forward to this #LTHEchat #edusky

There's lots I can't control right now but I did create a fun escape room/puzzle box activity as a review for my undergrad social cognition class and watching them race through the puzzles today brought me joy 😍 1/

Just gonna leave this here—THIS is what makes Quizizz one of a kind. Accessibility isn’t an afterthought—it comes first. 💜 #AccessibilityMatters #InclusiveEducation #EdTechForAll #UDL #AccessibleEdTech #EquityInEducation #EdTech @quizizz.bsky.social

Yes we are very likely to have expectations that all the new students will understand practices and language that are second nature to us but alien to new ‘non traditional’ students #lthechat

A big thank you to Roger Saunders for having me on his podcast, it was an excellent experience. In the episode we discuss evidencing #impact for #promotions and #fellowships (such as NTF) Hope the few highlights I shared are useful. #LTHEchat #edusky #NTF open.spotify.com/episode/4DEa...

Word of the Day is ‘bayard’ (16th century): one who has the supreme self-confidence of ignorance.

open.spotify.com/episode/4DEa... In the podcast Roger Saunders asks me questions about evidencing impact for promotions and fellowships (for instance NTF). I share some highlights that I hope will be useful for others. #LTHEchat #NTF #edusky

Hats off to anyone in UK academia right now who is turning up for work, marking essays, meeting students, giving lectures, holding seminars, being there for colleagues and also facing the threat of redundancy, voluntary or compulsory. It’s a grim and surreal time #UKhigherEd

Queen’s University Belfast has become the latest UK higher education institution to launch a voluntary severance scheme, with unions warning that 270 jobs are set to go, reports @chrishavergal.bsky.social. ‣ @timeshighered.bsky.social · #academicsky ·

Great question, this is THE bottleneck If you remove the final ‘?’ and start reading from ‘HE…’ you get the statement of truth #lthechat A6

Great shout out for the impact of PGCerts 😊 #lthechat
