2️⃣ pedagogy/ student engagement in #highereducation

Please give me 👋🏻 & follow?

Hi all.

I know I've been a bit quiet on #LTHEchat...
Interesting question.

My question is: should "designing for diversity" also mean to design for a multiversity / multiversities in #highereducation?

Yes, we should constantly be evaluating its impact (& usefulness) so we can make improvements & adaptations.

Perhaps the assessment of its outcomes could also be...fun, but not onerous?

#lthechat

LTHEchat @lthechat.bsky.social · Jan 22

Q6: Given the experiential nature of playful learning, how do you assess its outcomes - Should we?

Prof Debby Cotton @profdcotton.bsky.social · Jan 22

This is an interesting point given that so many academics now buying own teaching resources due to budget cuts… #ltheChat

Kiu Sum @kiusum.bsky.social · Jan 22

Wouldn't challenges be...

1️⃣money? Things cost money...
2️⃣available resources?
3️⃣willingness to try new things
