A @wonkhe.bsky.social blog on the OfS idea to link tuition fees to TEF results. It's unworkable as it was when it was first muted 10 years ago. It suggests that the OfS doesn't understand how the TEF works or the impact on the sector of making such ill-founded suggestions wonkhe.com/blogs/back-t...

The awesome @amymorrell.bsky.social (who I am privileged to supervise for a #PhD) is looking for new students joining #UKHE #HigherEducation #AcademicSky this year to take part in her online survey about student belonging. If you're teaching first year #undergraduates, please do share with them? 🙏
A flyer asking students to take part in an online survey exploring the experiences of first-year undegraduate students. On the left, the box reads 'if you take part you can enter a prize draw to win a £50 Amazon voucher', Only first year undergraduate students over the age of 18 who are studying at a university in the UK are eligible to participate. The box on the right contains a QR code to take you to the survey website, and offers a short URL as an alternative: http://bit.ly/4iNAysN.

Happy NTF & CATE day to those celebrating 🍾 including Michelle Morgan & Bryony Whitmarsh. To those who weren't successful this time, don't worry, regroup, try again with the feedback from assessors to make tweaks. #NTF #CATE #Teaching

Sometimes the historical dictionary offers solace through the existence of an obsolete word that is sorely needed now. One of them is ‘respair’, recorded just once, in the 15th century. It means fresh hope, and a recovery from despair.
