Is HECU your favourite conference? Do tell us about happy and productive experiences in the HECU community.
I second this nomination for favourite HE conference - AHE is lovely. But my equal favourite is HECU (higher education close-up) & this year it is in South Africa. Details here: https://t.co/XhFIJELflc … You can do both. I will !!! @SiouxMckenna @mags_blackie @CHERTL_RU

My 10 minute chat on key ideas for assessment in age of Generative AI. Thanks @timbocop for the invitation.
New @Monash_Academy 10 min chat on GenAI with @JanMcArthur. Key messages: - Students don’t understand assessment – how could they? - Academics cannot avoid the responsibility to teach the academic craft - Why do we assess? https://t.co/E4EWta5v39

Just noticed the @officestudents 'Head of Quality Improvement & Student Protection' has been rebranded 'Head of Compliance & Student Protection'. How clever of the OfS to encapsulate everything wrong with its developing approach to HE regulation in a single change of title!

Relationship between culture & feedback processes needs more investigation and this looks like a promising start
#edtech #feedback "social and cultural factors that influence the learning context may affect the efficacy of feedback" For instance, mistakes "in China and Japan are viewed as signs of what needs to be learned" but not so elsewhere 🙋🏿♂️ More here 👇 https://t.co/84TKXGZHnp
