2️⃣ pedagogy/ student engagement in #highereducation

Please give me 👋🏻 & follow?

A6:

Yes, we should constantly be evaluating its impact (& usefulness) so we can make improvements & adaptations.

Perhaps the assessment of its outcomes could also be...fun, but not onerous?

#lthechat
Q6: Given the experiential nature of playful learning, how do you assess its outcomes - Should we?
January 22, 2025 at 8:52 PM
A5:

1️⃣ enough headspace
2️⃣ inspiration & appropriate creativity
3️⃣ confidence that I won't look like a muppet at the front of the class...😢

#lthechat
Q5: What challenges do you face in designing/resourcing playful learning experiences? #LTHEchat

Please add A5 and #LTHEchat to your answer.

Yep. Sad times.

#lthechat
This is an interesting point given that so many academics now buying own teaching resources due to budget cuts… #ltheChat
Wouldn't challenges be...

2️⃣available resources?
3️⃣willingness to try new things

#lthechat
January 22, 2025 at 8:30 PM
