Timezones are so weird. Australia is in 2026, Canada is in 2025, and the United States is in 1939.

Q6: Are the challenges going on in higher education right now an opportunity or barrier to small group learning? Please explain.

A4. I think more depth when same task, yes. Since I got into same task I have never returned to groups having different tasks. Maybe it depends on the intended learning outcome which we should choose? #LTHEchat

14.05.2025 19:55 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

A6 #lthehat An opportunity. Learners will sometimes have found ways of addressing challenges that we hadn’t thought of.

A5 #lthechat. Quote their replies with comments in your responses. Not too critical, though. β€œBuilding on …”. They love their ideas being used.

A4 #lthechat Both! But I think more depth is achieved with same task, and the best way is to link tasks skilfully?

A2. It can be positive to respond positively to student teams too, especially if some of the students in the team got answers wrong when they attempted themselves #LTHEchat

A1 #lthechat Thinking of likeky learners’ questions - things they’ll want to know - and posing the questions?

#lthechat A5 @philrace.bsky.social and I do our morning exercises ( me on the floor doing yoga and him on the exercise bike) listening to informative podcasts from BBC radio 4 and learn so much. If I was teaching modern politics, literature or linguistics I would refer to them constantly

I like the thought that podcasting can be a good assessment medium.

A5 - my parents used to play the radio when we were kids and I think I liked the familiarity of it. I wonder if there is a place for regular CPD via radio for HE in like a radio 4 style? I think the value could bring more communities together! #LTHEchat
