Wow. Blast from the past. Ashlyn Horton talking about voluntary student unionism and how in 2005 the legislation passed. Things have been pretty shite from student service support perspective since then.

Terrible weather. Popped over to Burwood to pick up a library book. Half an hour free parking on the back streets, just a little bit further than the actual carpark.

Reached the final panel session at #HERDSA2025, "not just another GenAI panel" with promises of real experiences and responses.
I promised not to heckle Thomas ... So guess I need to share the panel's wisdom online instead

I attended this because it had programmatic assessment in the title. Turns out @priyakhanna.bsky.social is part of the team and this preso is actually about student evaluation of teaching.

Now at Jo Dargusch's preso on how time impacts equity students. It's one resource that equity students often don't have.

Challenging myself to do a quick room change after hearing from Franziszka Lessky about students who are combining work and study. About 4 in 5 students are working while studying in both Austria and Australia.

As expected, massive crowd to the controversial roundtable on changes to assessment of learning in a time of GenAI.

Do emotions interfere? A little but these students regulated their emotions, especially when the feedback was accurate.
Social relationships also important in peer feedback. Ultimately instructor feedback seen to be more valuable.

Keen to hear what Misty Wai-Cook has been doing on feedback literacy. Alas she's stuck with the choice between using the clicker or holding the mic.
I tried #HERDSA2025 but the lapel mic didn't want to connect!

Interestingly if you give students something nice but then take it away, they didn't like it 😂 whereas the 2D to VR group weren't as impressed by the VR
