Front cover for the page proofs of the book: Introduction to University Teaching, 2nd edition, by Richard Bale and Mary Seabrook.

Still on track for publication of the 2nd edition of Introduction to University Teaching this Sep. It’s always exciting - & daunting - when the page proofs come back from the publisher. It's a good lesson in letting go and letting good enough be good enough 📚 #teaching #learning #highered

#LoveLD Love this staff-facing CPD site from Australia, which does not have PGCerts: www.teaching.unsw.edu.au/inclusive . Built from the ground up, in consultation with staff about their interests and needs & there is a real sense of agency and ownership. Shared at the amazing #ALDcon25

A2: perhaps difficulties getting past deep-rooted beliefs or assumptions, not just students but teachers, too, including myself #lthechat

A1: openness and thoughtful questioning; checking and verifying one’s understanding #lthechat

🚨🌱 The Chancellor is reviewing all public spending from scratch. Please join me in signing the @campaignforthearts.org petition to remind the UK Govt: the arts make our lives happier & our communities stronger. Now is the moment to invest in them. #Arts www.campaignforthearts.org/petitions/sp...

It certainly made me laugh 😂 but also isn’t completely untrue. We/students do need money/investment in HE #lthechat

😮

A2: perhaps greater professionalisation of teaching in HE and an expectation that educators engage with qualifications and CPD #lthechat

A1: inclusivity, student-centredness, creativity #lthechat

A3: Make all co-creation roles paid so that students who would otherwise be in part time jobs are also able to participate. Be clear if particular skills are needed and then appoint students according #LTHEchat

A2: Time. Also, challenges can arise if there’s a lack of clarity about what co-creation and partnership mean. Students and educators have equal value but bring different expertise, and this element of partnership needs to be clear #LTHEchat

A1: it adds up-to-date authenticity to our practices #LTHEchat
