And the good old @philrace.bsky.social triggers: what, why, so what, what else?

Sandra Sinfield @danceswithcloud.bsky.social · May 21

Absolutely - lots of reflections - lots of why did we do that - what did I get from it - what will I do next... Without reflection there is no learning, but some subjects only ask students to reflect on placement learning - it all needs to be made conscious... #LTHEchat

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

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. “Building 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?

A3 #lthechat. Always group learning. Always surprises in what others know.

#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
