Next two AI focussed sessions #FLT25 from Mark Tomás McAuley (metabolic maps digitised and analysed through AI tools, as part of a learning cycle) and Craig Smith (Debating and arguing with AI through in-class debates).

...ooos #FLT25
Takeaways from Susan's talk - beyond block teaching...
- listen to casual conversations about students...what is being said about their experiences?
- pleasantly lost as part of learning is good
- can we consider the university as a studio for studio based learning?!
@jdermo.bsky.social ...you?

Mid way through 1st parallel session...focus on AI. Already 2 excellent talks...Maxime Lallement (AI agents in language learning) and Atefeh Tate (Sustainability and Ethics in AI).
We've role played ordering coffee in France, and if AI projects can support Students as Responsible Innovators #FLT25

What a quote, shared by Natalie Brown (NTU NSAD), from a final year NTU marketing student as we think more about Educational Gain. How do we measure this type of impact... is it a mindset shift we're looking to capture, a potential for further growth?

Celebrating 10 years of the NTU Trent Institute of Learning & Teaching (TILT) with some excellent cakes. Getting involved in TILT activities helped me find a fabulous community of like minded folks including @wcarey.bsky.social @edfoster.bsky.social @drsbroadberry.bsky.social and others! #TILT2025.

Launching into #TILT2025 Day 2 with @drsbroadberry.bsky.social sharing CADQ's Scholarship Hub. A new resource developed by a whole range of colleagues across academic/professional services to support all those who teach and/or support learning in developing and contributing to scholarship.

What a fantastic phrase used by Charlotte Marshall (CADQ / PGCLTHE lecturer) about her 'PGCert Cafe'...and encouraging us to establish our own franchise - "where are the spaces where you can 'vent joy'?" So #TILT2025 ...where do you do this?

First session down at #TILT2025 with the fab Ethan Keene from Nottingham Business School about work on co-creation of Ongoing Induction.
Now thinking about Assessed Work Like Experience in Animal and Rural Sciences. Great work from @drlucyclarke.bsky.social Geography in action...through golf!

Good provocation from Emily Pollinger (Bath University) #TILT2025 Keynote about the extent to which students are able to contribute, critique and shape the data/narrative of teaching excellence.
June 17, 2025 at 9:10 AM
I wonder who might be #TILT2025 posting today / tomorrow? I think I spied @drkatietaylor.bsky.social @edfoster.bsky.social @ntuyourlibrary.bsky.social amongst others. Warm welcome from Executive Dean, Dr. Kathy Charles...encouraging us to have fun alongside (with?) all our interactions.

One of the first 'truly European' FYE...Una Europa Bachelor programme?!
Drawing on consortium partnerships (HEIs not as islands but spanning borders)...looking forward to hearing about the development of this innovative programme, its building and delivery, and lived experience in practice #efye2025

Educating for the future...a theme of the conference, and now Keynote 1 #efye2025.
How will we keep up with AI?
Changing curricular, couldn't keep up.
Changing tech, couldn't keep up.
Shift to the competencies, skills, autonomy, decision making.
May 26, 2025 at 12:18 PM

Early start for #efye2025 so thankful for some decent(ish) and fresh coffee on the 6am flight! Alive, awake and enthusiastic (as a previous colleague used to say). Let's get started @efye2025.bsky.social

Where has the time gone? Hard to believe #EFYE2025 is <24hrs away...amazing work by local conference team, and input from International Committee means we're shaping up for an awesome time together.
Hoping we might gain some traction on BlueSky this year as well...who is on their way/final packing?!
