"The Irish Embassy in Tel Aviv’s requirement that flights be purchased before visa approval resulted in a €38,000 loss on non-refundable tickets for the club."

As part of my PhD I'm conducting a study looking at students' views of postgraduate research. The survey is open to current students in the UK (first degree and postgraduates). It's anonymous and should take no more than 10 mins!

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

#lthechat A5 give their work impact, whether via industry partnership or community outreach or presenting their work our linked to an opportunity etc

#lthechat A4 the ability to tailor the task to the group interests, for example, the overall cohort task is problem-solving and presenting your solution, but with a specific group focus or lens. I haven't tried giving the exact same task, depends on numbers or how to show work if too similar?

#lthechat A3 difficult to measure, that depends on the context and even the learners.. maybe a good educator attribute is to keep learning so as to keep in touch with that perspective and decide case by case

#lthechat A2 safe ways to get it wrong, like polls and quizzes, peer learning, etc. Applying similar skills in a formative exercise can help identify areas for improvement or scaffold towards summative

#lthechat A1 I think for any educator, having a genuine interest in your topic and in your learners is the best starting point. If you don't find it interesting, or aren't passionate about why they should engage with it, they won't

Yes, it would be great to see more acceptance of part time UG in particular, especially built around space to work/care/travel etc A lot of support & scholarships seem to be for full-time students only

As far as I know, most of our HEIs are hanging in there for now, but I think budgets are very tight across the board!

A6 #lthechat underfunding leading the student experience to be more costly: financially (higher fees, accom, travel, taxes) and emotionally (unstable job market, time poverty, use of AI, dwindling planetary resources, social media)

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

A4 #lthechat delighted to say that here in Ireland initiatives like Springboard (government funded/subsidised learning) have supported mature learners and/or job seekers to join HE, some for the first time

A3 #lthechat freedom to just learn or enjoy being a student, or space to teach creatively- standardisation of learning linked to employability is beneficial but often inflexible
