Join us on Bluesky for #LTHEchat with guests @puiyin.bsky.social, @katharinehubbard.bsky.social, Dr Kevin Campbell-Karn, Professor David Webster and Paula Han on Wednesday 7th January at 8pm GMT to discuss Navigating the New OfS Quality Era: What It Means for Students, Staff and the Sector.
LTHEchat 348: Navigating the New OfS Quality Era and What It Means for Students, Staff, and the Sector
The Office for Students’ (OfS) latest proposal represents a significant shift in how teaching quality and student outcomes will be assessed. The message is clear: every higher education provider will be pulled into a single, integrated quality-assessment system that blends the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) with core regulatory conditions. For the sector, it’s a moment of scrutiny, but also a chance to rethink how we support students.

Someone brought this 5-minute clip from Harvard GS of Education on facilitating class discussion to my attention, and I thought it would be of value for others. Thinking time - fits nicely with think-pair-share as well. instructionalmoves.gse.harvard.edu/waiting-stud... #AberPGCTHE

Favourite article for #AberPGCTHE. In my seminar, they read Chew's article in advance. I start with quick retrieval practice of the 7 points. Then they type examples from their own experience into a shared doc and we discuss. My students are mostly new HE lecturers.
