Passionate about improving the student and staff experience in HE so I created a free portal of collated information, guidance and advice for staff to help them based on my Student Experience Transitions Model http://www.improvingthestudentexperience.com/

The awesome @amymorrell.bsky.social (who I am privileged to supervise for a #PhD) is looking for new students joining #UKHE #HigherEducation #AcademicSky this year to take part in her online survey about student belonging. If you're teaching first year #undergraduates, please do share with them? 🙏

I’m sure @it-se.bsky.social will have plenty to say about that. Have you heard about her national level pre university entry survey that she is piloting with Advance HE?
A4 touched on in A3 but there has been a definite shift towards consumerism.

We also see students struggling with the cost of living, having to work almost full time or multiple jobs to be able to survive.

Many students choose not to come to in person sessions and engage in other ways

The pre-arrival questionnaire provides a brilliant opportunity for universities to find out about the hopes fears&aspirations of their students before they arrive in College so that preparations can be made to welcome them, ensuring higher retention&achievement thanks to @it-se.bsky.social ‘s work

If you are a uni interested in getting involved in the National PAQ pilot with @AdvanceHE and @Jisc complete the interest in participating form by the end of April 👇

Congratulations to you and Phil, hope you are both keeping well, I remember reading parts of the 4th Edition some years back, lots of practical advice.

The power of pre-arrival student questionnaires: I'm excited to see this potentially game-changing initiative get going in earnest. We need to understand students better as they start not on the way out.

Congratulations to @it-se.bsky.social and Jonathan Neves.

@it-se.bsky.social Has some really important and useful publications in the area of transition including transition between levels
A5. Deliberate transition planning into each new level of university learning. I see so many second year students who are so anxious when the mystical‘critical analysis’ starts being discussed and this seems to continue to cause anxiety up to postgrad level #LTHEchat

Ask not what you can do for engineering… - HEPI
The UK’s school curriculum neglects engineering, missing an opportunity to develop creativity, practical skills, and inclusive, real-world learning.

@it-se.bsky.social makes an irrefutable case that LLE should extend to postgrads, but as govts have found, launching even a basic LLE is difficult. Perhaps we need to start planning phase 2 of LLE (including extending to L7) while phase 1 is still in development? www.hepi.ac.uk/2025/02/05/e...
Excluding Level 7 modules from the LLE is a huge, missed opportunity - HEPI
The exclusion of postgraduate study from the Lifelong Learning Entitlement risks missing opportunities to address advanced skills gaps in the UK.
