HEA STEM Conference 2016 - Day 2

Teaching excellence in abundance @HEASTEM #HEASTEM16! Great first day of presentations and discussions, great atmosphere. Roll on Day 2!

#HEASTEM16 folks please follow and welcome @Bobgilmour3 to Twitter and help him develop his new personal learning network

Interface of worlds: putting finishing touches on #HEASTEM16 pres while listening to @Runrig1973 The Story (It’s arrived! It’s wonderful!)

Why you should be using twitter at conferences, @BobGilmore3 in case we did not convince you last night..#HEASTEM16  https://twitter.com/suebecks/status/692970219057340416 …

@Chris_Wiley oops just noticed got sent incomplete. There is a big range of variety between subdisciplines in CS #HEASTEM16

Check out our work on programming pedagogies w. @JamesHDavenport @alanhayes725  https://www.heacademy.ac.uk/innovative-pedagogical-practices-craft-computing … #HEASTEM16  https://twitter.com/HEASTEM/status/688013342242410497 …

.@rikkiprince only got access to the abstract... Will see if I can catch up with the author today & put you in touch for details. #HEASTEM16

@SoftwareSaved oops just remembered I could have brought a stack of #bettersoftwarebetterresearch stickers to give away at #HEASTEM16

A few thoughts on day 1 - looking forward to day 2!  http://drstephaniebennett.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/HEASTEM16DAY1.html?spref=tw&m=1 … #HEASTEM16 @HEA_chat

Dentist appointment cancelled so will be following tweets from #HEASTEM16 instead!

@Annakwood in a different Timezone/continent....so will also follow tweets #HEASTEM16

more on lecture capture: if you’re worried you could be replaced by a mere recording, then your sessions aren’t very interactive. #HEASTEM16

so doing something to make face-to-face more worthwhile would probably be a good thing (and they can’t replace that with a video) #HEASTEM16

Uhm, the Christmas music is a wee bit much folks :) #HEASTEM16

Looking forward to Dr Sally Bradley's (@BradS4) keynote this afternoon at #HEASTEM16 'Fellowship and beyond: what next?'

#HEASTEM16 great storify of yesterday’s lecture capture tweetings Thanks @RSC_EiC :)  https://twitter.com/RSC_EiC/status/693004817778761731 …

Dr Katherine Haxton @kjhaxton will be presenting at #HEASTEM16 this PM on using infographics in teaching (3rd years - that’s what you did)

Lecture capture discussions #HEASTEM16 - our critical research with students here:  http://bit.ly/replay-research-nov15 … as presented at #altc

With some study workflows using lecture capture that students shared available here:  http://bit.ly/1lKscFQ  #HEASTEM16

Highlight of #HEASTEM16 about to commence: Keynote by Prof @S_J_Lancaster 'Key Notes in Instrumental Change'

After a thought provoking day 1 am really looking forward to day 2.#HEASTEM16 @HEASTEM

Ah, that’s nice ‘aiming in universities for excellence everywhere but not the same’. #HEASTEM16

"Excellence everywhere but not the same" A very good reflection of teaching & learning across the countries #HEASTEM16

Looking forward to another exciting set of talks and posters #heastem16

@S_J_Lancaster fantastic thankyou ! #HEASTEM16

great definition of a chemistry academic: employed to make chemicals who then ends up teaching #HEASTEM16

Sean Ryan: what we are trying to achieve in HEIs is excellence but not that we all become the same. #HEASTEM16

@S_J_Lancaster has chemical green fingers for teaching, #HEASTEM16

I want my students to become chemists, not to just have a chemistry degree - @S_J_Lancaster #HEASTEM16

@S_J_Lancaster - 'I want my students to be chemists , not just have a degree in chemistry' #HEASTEM16

#HEASTEM16 peer learning is a magic bullet for learning @S_J_Lancaster @HEAcademy

.@S_J_Lancaster considering the type of questions he asks of students (in assessments) - inspired by @RossKGalloway #HEASTEM16

Prof @S_J_Lancaster inviting discussion via Twitter during and after his keynote #HEASTEM16

#HEASTEM16 the keynote is bigger than the room  http://goo.gl/LfQ2w8   https://twitter.com/rf_fangirl/status/693010128442920961 …

'The balance between content and concepts is all wrong' says @S_J_Lancaster #keynote #HEASTEM16

really like the idea of a concepts slide instead of a content slide… will be stealing that idea :) #HEASTEM16

@S_J_Lancaster Agreed, we need to join together to create a critical mass of evidence #HEASTEM16

#HEASTEM16 Prof Simon Lancaster (UEA) starting lecture with 'Concept' slide, not content. Let's ban "Learning Outcome" slides from lectures

"There is a critical mass at #HEASTEM16 who can make a greater impact if work together as a network" @S_J_Lancaster #HEASTEM16

Twitter expanding the walls of the conference lecture theatre #HEASTEM16  https://twitter.com/malc851/status/693010128572907524 …

@sm_rutherford curiously my students have specifically asked for LO slides… but perhaps that’s indicative of wider issues. #HEASTEM16

@S_J_Lancaster encouraging delegates to collaborate for research (in person or electronically) to impact international community #HEASTEM16

#HEASTEM16 concepts not content.

@Scooby1969 @S_J_Lancaster Love the picture this creates! Imagery in education #HEASTEM16

A concept slide is different to a content slide, good idea but not equivalent. #HEASTEM16

He did say he would be controversial- but disagreeing with Yoda! @S_J_Lancaster #HEASTEM16

'When I ask a question, I want every one of you to answer' says @S_J_Lancaster #keynoteetiquette #HEASTEM16

#HEASTEM16 Coming in from the cold....creative collaboration in the STEM world is very welcome! @S_J_Lancaster @UniofBradford @LifeSci_UoB

#HEASTEM16 'We don't need no clickers' @S_J_Lancaster

Can't make people learn - but can create an environment to learn, students need to recognise we can't do everything #HEASTEM16

As a teacher I cannot make you learn. I can only create an environment in which you might learn something @S_J_Lancaster #HEASTEM16

Every teaching session is an experiment… #HEASTEM16

#HEASTEM16 If I am not providing an opportunity for students to learn I am wasting my time Opportunity is the operative word. @S_J_Lancaster

What a relief: We can't make students 'do'. All we can do is create an environment to enable them to try. @S_J_Lancaster #HEASTEM16

@kirstyhyndes Too used to doing things in silos! #HEASTEM16  https://twitter.com/kirstyhyndes/status/693010988669485056 …

As an educator, there is no "do" nor "do not", only "try"! (teaching doesn't happen without learning) #HEASTEM16  https://twitter.com/GrahamScott14/status/693011287861809152 …

has excellent lost its meaning? We’re off to dereferenetialisation land again. Sigh. #HEASTEM16

Love the use of dereferentialisation #HEASTEM16 I'm going to use this more often @S_J_Lancaster

@S_J_Lancaster 'teaching is my laboratory, experimenting with how to best create environments for learning ' #HEASTEM16

Finally here little late into @S_J_Lancaster keynote #HEASTEM16 just intone for questioning our meanings of pedagogy words!

Provocative! search for excellence is a meaningless pursuit. "Excellence" is a dereferentialised term @S_J_Lancaster #HEASTEM16

Should we always strive to be innovative in teaching or is there an argument for using tried and tested approaches? #HEASTEM16

#HEASTEM16 what is 'innovative' what is 'excellent'? derefertialisation in HE @S_J_Lancaster

@NoelAnn @S_J_Lancaster Absolutely! #HEASTEM16

So there are a whole bunch of words that we need to define what we mean by them (or provide evidence?) #HEASTEM16

How do you qualify what an 'excellent teacher' is in HE it's a slightly fuzzy feeling? Notion?concept? #HEASTEM16

Like with job applications we need hard evidence support these descriptive words @S_J_Lancaster #HEASTEM16 as we teach our students

“the secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” #HEASTEM16

#HEASTEM16 depends on what problem we are trying to answer....often increasing reliability is overlooked  https://twitter.com/heastem/status/693012525202460673 …

#HEASTEM16 Provide evidence of how you are excellent - the most common feedback I provide students for reflective essays @S_J_Lancaster

#HEASTEM16 Provide evidence of how you are excellent - the most common feedback I prov  http://goo.gl/jo0yjX   https://twitter.com/fuyunyans/status/693013149604257792 …

Not just academic community needs to challenge lecture to PBL & SCALE-UP our facilities/estates #HEASTEM16 @S_J_Lancaster

The timing of #HEASTEM16 is pretty good - we’re all heading back to teaching so can apply things. Over summer, too much empty space

If you want to instrument change don't do it from a position of deficit! (elaborate? @S_J_Lancaster) #HEASTEM16

Not just for learning but creating environments for inclusion & well-being. #HEASTEM16  https://twitter.com/ICJS_Research/status/693012369224658945 …

1/3 audience has merged modules to create large modules, small handful done opposite decoupling modules #HEASTEM16

My fav education quote? "Learning is to punish the ignorant, for the offences they would've committed if they hadnt known better" #HEASTEM16

1/3 of delegates merged modules to create fewer but others have done the opposite - so whats right? @S_J_Lancaster @HEAcademy #HEASTEM16

Moving onto the Hawthorne effect now…#HEASTEM16 it’s all about lightbulbs it seems.

Attack on meaningless quotations for which their provenance hasn't been properly double-checked (e.g. 'Socrates") @S_J_Lancaster #HEASTEM16

I'd never accept anything on Twitter without researching first. May be start a peer review process? 😜 #HEASTEM16

any change in the lighting environmental conditions produced temporary increase in productivity, #Hawthorne #HEASTEM16

We're just instrumenting change to have a (temporary) increase in productivity @S_J_Lancaster #Hawthorne #HEASTEM16  https://twitter.com/anortcliffe/status/693013986116255745 …

Hawthorne effect would suggest that all innovation will have a positive impact on learning #HEASTEM16

Either means that any change is good, or the workers are pleased to be observed (someone cares about productivity) #HEASTEM16

#HEASTEM16 @S_J_Lancaster We just did 3rd option. Completely reinvented all modules (into larger chunks) to focus on concepts not content

.@S_J_Lancaster HE has habit circular change, working on Hawthorne effect any change is good #HEASTEM16

#HEASTEM16 what change goes around in HEA comes back round again cycles.. Any change is good. #hawthorneeffect

@S_J_Lancaster change is good whenever it happens, but experienced staff have seen it all before 😩 #HEASTEM16

need to evaluate teaching changes over longer periods to move past the initial, enthusiasm of the first cohort #HEASTEM16

#HEASTEM16 repeated practice, old wine in new bottles! But not happening in vacuum as context and learner expectations shift?

No, it's about the observation rather than just the change! @S_J_Lancaster #HEASTEM16  https://twitter.com/kjhaxton/status/693014177913376768 …

'Any good scientific experiment changes one variable at a time' @S_J_Lancaster #HEASTEM16

#HEASTEM16 check out #quoteinvestigator

Using Twitter to evaluate Twitter facts? Now that's irony. #HEASTEM16

Thou' we used institutional change to go back LTA lit on curriculum design to inform change @AdrianaGWilde @S_J_Lancaster #HEASTEM16

Hawthorne effect: any change good, but do we leave in place long enough to evaluate improvement over long term? @S_J_Lancaster #HEASTEM16

.@AdrianaGWilde @S_J_Lancaster @kjhaxton #HEASTEM16 light bulbs illuminating the new idea! Oh the irony!

#HEASTEM16 Come to my talk at 1pm on "Rethinking Pedagogies for Programming: Computational Thinking, Codemanship and (Software) Carpentry"

@QuoteResearch #HEASTEM16 @HEASTEM @S_J_Lancaster 'you can check your quotes on Twitter using quote investigator!' Looks a great resource

#HEASTEM16 who said....having a QI moment!

.@S_J_Lancaster uses @QuoteResearch to debunk falsely attributed quotes! #HEASTEM16

@cpjobling knowing it had to be wrong #HEASTEM16

#HEASTEM16 not Darwin? we thought it was Bruce Lee @S_J_Lancaster

Prof @S_J_Lancaster recommending @QuoteResearch to check the accuracy of quotes #HEASTEM16

Ah @S_J_Lancaster you can always go for qualitative data :) #HEASTEM16 Stats aren’t everything!

@cpjobling i'm saying Darwin #HEASTEM16 but forgot the hashtag

The thorny issue of measuring learning gain #HEASTEM16

#HEASTEM16 @S_J_Lancaster a break down of the etiology of the quote can be found here for those interested  http://quoteinvestigator.com/2014/12/19/fittest/ …

@S_J_Lancaster Is a 'Professor of Twitter' and would like to collaborate with you on Pedogical research #HEASTEM16 @HEASTEM

We (SHu) are starting chem' eng' next year, collaborative chem' education research' opp' @S_J_Lancaster #HEASTEM16

@S_J_Lancaster is flying the flag for #activelearning at #HEASTEM16 #keynote

I wonder what the job description of a Professor in Innovation is, @S_J_Lancaster ? #HEASTEM16

Call out for collaborative chemistry education research by @S_J_Lancaster #HEASTEM16

So in HE there's no 'innovation', just 'renovation'? #HEASTEM16

Need collaborative research projects to build an evidence base of what works in learning and teaching #HEASTEM16

'We have to stop reinventing wheels and start generating real evidence' @S_J_Lancaster #HEASTEM16

Love the idea of a chem ed arms race between @lowlevelpanic and @S_J_Lancaster #HEASTEM16

@S_J_Lancaster I thought it was Alistair Campbell! Wrong as usual #HEASTEM16

Knew it wasnt Darwin, but wasnt willing to put a tenner on it #HEASTEM16  https://twitter.com/Scooby1969/status/693016334372835328 …

'Pedagogy is now backfilling for where the technology has previously raced ahead with' @S_J_Lancaster #HEASTEM16 #keynote

@ICJS_Research @S_J_Lancaster @HEASTEM let's go! #HEASTEM16

Yay! @S_J_Lancaster has stepped out of the EdTech arms race and is thinking about questions and talking #HEASTEM16

'Peer instruction takes real time' says @S_J_Lancaster #HEASTEM16 #keynote

Not sure, I work on what problem am trying to solve, innovate to solve problem, enhance @kjhaxton @lowlevelpanic @S_J_Lancaster #HEASTEM16

Provocative again! @S_J_Lancaster urging us to flip the classroom. Peer instruction takes time! Ask yourself what really matters #HEASTEM16

Simon Lancaster "Liberate yourself from the tyranny of content” #HEASTEM16

#HEASTEM16 "If what you do could be recorded and put online, consider whether it SHOULD be recorded and put online" [a bit misquoted]

Now talking about cutting content drastically to focus in on key concepts that ‘chemists should know’ post-graduation. #HEASTEM16

Interestingly @S_J_Lancaster uses same model for PI in classroom as #LTHEchat & #heachat #HEASTEM16

Peer instruction. We have found this is powerful way to learn. Students teach each other. Wonderful to see them grow #HEASTEM16 @UoN_SHS

"What can go once should go online" Prof David Read quoted by @S_J_Lancaster #HEASTEM16 as an intro to flipping the classroom

"Online liberates from tyranny of content" @S_J_Lancaster Flipped class uses time & space for real learning through interaction #HEASTEM16

Subject benchmarks are not a shopping list of content, our programmes need to focus on what skills are required #HEASTEM16

.@sm_rutherford "What can go online, should go online" @S_J_Lancaster #HEASTEM16

#HEASTEM16 @S_J_Lancaster echoing one of my main concerns with HE, how can we expect 'Deep' learning when we teach so much crystal knowledge

selecting students to attend university based on A-levels is selecting based on ability to cram. #HEASTEM16 #theglovesareoff

'Why was I delivering all that stuff (& expecting all students to remember after graduating)? 'Cause it had always been that way' #HEASTEM16

Interesting @S_J_Lancaster is questioning the long tail effect of the content learning this is where PBL show to make an impact #HEASTEM16..

“education gives to us that which remains after we have forgotten all that we have learned the schools” E.D. Battle, 1899 #HEASTEM16

So agree with @S_J_Lancaster that Ed must be about more than cramming #HEASTEM16

.@S_J_Lancaster urges us to get the courage to cut. As if we all had that freedom! GCHQ accredited courses are too prescriptive #HEASTEM16

@S_J_Lancaster 'couldn't we cut (content) to concentrate on what matters' #HEASTEM16

@S_J_Lancaster totally agree that we can cut out a lot of content. Cancer of the curriculum is not what we want #HEASTEM16

@S_J_Lancaster on acknowledging our metric drivers #HEASTEM16

.. My students do remember their PBL module, last night conversing with grad' 11yrs who studied PBL 13yrs ago! #HEASTEM16 @S_J_Lancaster

don’t generally expect tweets made in 2013 to resurface… #HEASTEM16

'Learning is the residue of having thought about something' quotes @S_J_Lancaster in #HEASTEM16 #keynote

In reality if you record lecture without students I found it is much shorter and truncated, however @kjhaxton @S_J_Lancaster #HEASTEM16...

@anortcliffe @S_J_Lancaster yep, targeted recordings can be very effective, easier to edit (versus editing out lecture stuff). #HEASTEM16

#HEASTEM16 @S_J_Lancaster Highlighting the importance of getting students to think inquistively, come and see poster our for quant evidence!

I think we need to carve out timetable space to talk to students about need to think & discuss - they are so trained in cramming #HEASTEM16

#HEASTEM16 questions we ask students in the classroom should not test knowledge but provide the opportunity to learn @S_J_Lancaster

#HEASTEM16 how many assessments of you actually need for a degree - Gibbs said 10 (but he made it up) @S_J_Lancaster

can you just shift summative assessments to formative assessments to reduce the salami slicing? #HEASTEM16 formative must prep for summative

#HEASTEM16 @S_J_Lancaster learning is the residue of having thought about something. Food for thought from the keynote speaker

#HEASTEM16 @S_J_Lancaster 'I don't want students to have a degree in x (chemistry), I want students to be x (chemists)

The formative assessment is meant to "form", prepare the student for something else. But humans strategise and summative trumps #HEASTEM16

...Record'g live lec notes 10mins segments our res' shows enable students to reconnect with their thought patterns #HEASTEM16 @S_J_Lancaster

must consider human nature when thinking about summative vs formative assessment - prioritise the thing you’re being judged on #HEASTEM16

Don’t average likert data. #HEASTEM16

Am collecting data to enc strategists to engage with their formative assessment (will it inc my mark?) #HEASTEM16

See my last tweet there is a big but! @kjhaxton @S_J_Lancaster #HEASTEM16

@S_J_Lancaster noting that formative assessment often doesn't seem to work as it scheduled alongside other summative assessment #HEASTEM16

#HEASTEM16 Something to ask academic school/dept: How many assessments do you need in order to award a degree? @pcutl @biosi_staff

Yay, another pet-hate of mine, the abuse of #likertdata @S_J_Lancaster #HEASTEM16

Stand up against the abuse of Likert data #HEASTEM16

@AdrianaGWilde @S_J_Lancaster How prescriptive should online learning through a LMS be? #HEASTEM16

@S_J_Lancaster Why assess? Surely assessment should help the student with their future job/life #HEASTEM16 they would gain useful skills

Glad to hear that @S_J_Lancaster is Opposed to misuse of likert data - me too as it's used against me in promotion criteria #HEASTEM16

They're labels!! (that happen to be numbers), but they are labels!! @S_J_Lancaster #HEASTEM16  https://twitter.com/kjhaxton/status/693020890255069184 …

#HEASTEM16 YES! I've always detested the way NSS is numerical interpretation of Likert data ... and then interpreted in a Boolean manner!

Let's stop abusing likert scales by averaging the data #HEASTEM16 lets get rid of them?

I don't apply statiticians approach mathematically represent Likert, I show number selected each Likert in a table @kjhaxton #HEASTEM16

@dompates is that another way of saying....I teach the way I was taught? #HEASTEM16

.@anortcliffe really good way, better to know how many picked each - much more informative. #HEASTEM16

@DominicCHenri @S_J_Lancaster what is crystal knowledge? #HEASTEM16

I'd say 54% delivery time in a lecture is not a bad balance, may be a bit low but ok ☺️ #HEASTEM16

Is listening always passive? @S_J_Lancaster I'm thinking about what you're saying, promise! #HEASTEM16

'Creating a conceptual question (rather than MCQ) is challenging' says @S_J_Lancaster #HEASTEM16 #OER

Delete Bad slides as open educational content and replace with conceptual questions to stimulate discussion not passive learning #HEASTEM16

'Time to share good questions online rather than content' @S_J_Lancaster #HEASTEM16

#HEASTEM16 good questions and good problems sought after as an academic's toolkit #OpenEd

#HEASTEM16 doesn't NSS also abuse Likert opinion data?

@wentale Pretty much. Always difficult to be amongst first through the door (teaching or not) #HEASTEM16

.S_J_Lancaster Have you thought asked your students to design 5 applied MQ with their created flipped vignettes? #HEASTEM16

Key recommendation from @S_J_Lancaster to finish - need to share questions for students to actively answer around our community #HEASTEM16

@ani2tall Good point - shouldn't be! Just needs to be well balanced #HEASTEM16  https://twitter.com/ani2tall/status/693021870279405568 …

Thanks to all of the lovely #HEASTEM16 twitterers. Following the tweets from my desk @BCUCELT towers :)

@S_J_Lancaster some of my introverted students are always thinking & learning just silently #HEASTEM16

@SimonHeath1 @S_J_Lancaster the most important part is the heart! Teach from there. #HEASTEM16 HEASTEM16

Yes silent is always passive! #HEASTEM16  https://twitter.com/ani2tall/status/693022966725120000 …

Love the reference to only learning 5% from lectures being a bit like homeopathy - a load of rubbish #HEASTEM16 @S_J_Lancaster

Yes. Active doesn't equate to physical. #HEASTEM16 #ActiveMinds

We do need to ensure that our drive towards active doesn’t put off quiet students, can cause anxiety and stress for some #HEASTEM16

@Scooby1969 which presenter was this? Couldn't agree more. #HEASTEM16

Agree, threshold concepts take a while for us to recognise - need to ask students, they can surprise us. #HEASTEM16

#HEASTEM16 @S_J_Lancaster but there is nothing simple about listening! Some skills development needed about active listening

Carol Evans asks @S_J_Lancaster what's active learning - lectures can be very efficient in imparting knowledge if fit for purpose #HEASTEM16

#HEASTEM16 Role of the lecture being questioned - my thoughts on the issue from last year  https://theacademicteacher.wordpress.com/2015/07/14/what-role-does-the-lecture-have-in-the-modern-age/ …

Good points from Carol Evans - people do gain from lectures if it's fit for purpose and don't do 'activity' for the sake of it. #HEASTEM16

@SimonHeath1 @S_J_Lancaster wow - incredible artwork ! Spot on ! #HEASTEM16

@DominicCHenri where does 'Deep' learning occur then? #HEASTEM16

#HEASTEM16 an entire section of psychology dismissed in one slide. What's your alternative to likert?

.@S_J_Lancaster Learning needs to be designed well to challenge students to apply knowl'e so actively listen/act if designed well #HEASTEM16

What's the evidence base? #HEASTEM16  https://twitter.com/Scooby1969/status/693023542045249536 …

@S_J_Lancaster it would be interesting to run a conference with no lectures! What would this look like? I would love to try #HEASTEM16

Agree with @S_J_Lancaster, I've had 'oh, just tell me the answer!' #HEASTEM16

@AdrianaGWilde @S_J_Lancaster but more efficient still if moved into online space. Flipped class allows other scheduled activity #HEASTEM16

@Boubertl I think the criticism is in doing quantitative analysis on what's essentially labels? @S_J_Lancaster #HEASTEM16

#HEASTEM16 flipping the flip, challenge the learners to create the conceptual questions!  https://twitter.com/ani2tall/status/693024542189604864 …

I find the 'here to get a prestigious degree/job' can get in way of engagement #HEASTEM16

But is that #LTHEchat every week 8pm Wednesday @kirstyhyndes @S_J_Lancaster #HEASTEM16

don’t backfill if a student doesn’t do prep for a flipped/interactive session. No 10 minute summaries, they’ll learn soon enough. #HEASTEM16

@S_J_Lancaster Do you use a conversation with a student as an exploration for their understanding to assess? #HEASTEM16 #summative #viva

@kjhaxton that is such a shame - we still need to make sure teaching is still accessible and inclusive for all #HEASTEM16

@Boubertl #HEASTEM16 the challenge is about the correct handling of data types

students lazy learners? Occasionally? Often? Surely a purpose to lectures/seminars is to awaken their inneradult to want to learn #HEASTEM16

Good points from @KEHplantsci on the role of the lecture, coming back up at #HEASTEM16  https://twitter.com/kehplantsci/status/693024023664398336 …

@DominicCHenri development of opinion might need time but need the crystals in the science? #HEASTEM16

Golden rule of flipping, never ever back fill for students who have not viewed the material #HEASTEM16

@HEAEducation Fit for purpose is key, there are many approaches that can be that. Don't use any strategy just for the sake of it. #HEASTEM16

@suebecks @S_J_Lancaster keynote sounded great from this distance. Sorry we aren't @VConnecting. (Eyes drooping) Enjoy the rest! #HEASTEM16

Thanks to @S_J_Lancaster for a thought provoking keynote, embedded full of excellent learning and teaching ideas #HEASTEM16

Excellent point #HEASTEM16  https://twitter.com/kjhaxton/status/693023611104464896 …

Once again, interesting and thought provoking stuff from @S_J_Lancaster at #HEASTEM16 "a flipped session is like a fancy dress party"

Enjoying catching up with someone I haven't seen since I graduated at #HEASTEM16

Follow #HEASTEM16 Inspire to succeed: transforming teaching and learning in STEM #teaching #learning

@wentale @S_J_Lancaster @VConnecting thanks Wendy! Simon was great. Shame the keynote wasn't live streamed #HEASTEM16

Doug Cole looking at the 'Drivers for Change' that affect us all. It's HOW an institution tackles them that can make us unique #HEASTEM16

@DrDav @ThinkPhysicsNE @NorthumbriaUni @TeachFirst @Telegraph @JosieGurneyRead presenting this today @HEASTEM #architecture #HEASTEM16

So given so many of us (including Doug Cole) have issues with the #DLHE what are we doing / can we do to get this changed? #HEASTEM16

@suebecks @S_J_Lancaster @VConnecting #edtech challenges! Or a question of openness?#HEASTEM16

.@surajajit on automating feedback! #HEASTEM16

Doug recognising “employability” as a dereferentialised term. #HEASTEM16

perhaps I’m cynical but would employability = 'getting an obvious job without much effort' for some students? #HEASTEM16
