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

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

A5 - my parents used to play the radio when we were kids and I think I liked the familiarity of it. I wonder if there is a place for regular CPD via radio for HE in like a radio 4 style? I think the value could bring more communities together! #LTHEchat

#LTHEchat A4 Music as background would not work - but - we asked a colleague to run a low stakes music and 'composition' session for our UG students - with crazy instruments - for fun, blonding and belonging - and reflecting back that they could construct meaning together. It was Ace!
Q4 How do you feel about music being a component of continuing professional development (CPD) activities (e.g. conferences, workshops or webinars)?
