@DrBartRienties @LegacyLGproject @LearningGains @OpenUniversity I think it comes with the marketization. If you charge high tuition fees students need to get value for money. However it gets operationalised.

[Heikeb @HeikeBehle]

⁦@LegacyLGproject⁩ #learninggain good question ⁦@lizaustenbooth⁩ what’s in it for the student?

[Liz Austen (Booth) @lizaustenbooth]

Lord Willets advocates a reduction in the over surveying of our students (great!) - but do instituions really have a choice in what they choose to deliver? #learninggain @LegacyLGproject

[Heikeb @HeikeBehle]

Engaging debate ⁦@LegacyLGproject⁩ #learninggain

[LEGACY_Project @LegacyLGproject]

A challenge to develop better measures (not perfect ones) to improve the current measures and public debates by David Willetts

[Andrew Gunn 🇺🇦 @ASGunn]

Lord David Willetts speaks on the story of OECD AHELO and how it relates to the #learninggain debate. It’s very hard to detach subject knowledge and skills— so these measures do need to be discipline specific. We should not rule out the idea of comparing learning gain across HEIs

Lord David Willetts talking at @LegacyLGproject conference #learninggain

[Professor Christina Hughes @HughesHughes8]

Lord David Willetts ⁦@LegacyLGproject⁩ being asked if learning gain really is too complex for policy. ⁦@officestudents⁩

[LEGACY_Project @LegacyLGproject]

RT Hon Lord David Willets contextualises #Learninggain & what it means for policy - knowledge & Skills work hand in hand @LegacyLGproject

[Prof Fabio R Aricò @FabioArico]

David Willets - Lear king Gain and what it means for policy? #learninggain

[Julian Crockford💙 @JulianCrockford]

Key takeaways from excellent @LegacyLGproject event - learning gain is non-linear, complex, highly context dependent & dependent on measurement points. While it has clear local and formative benefit, probably not suitable for comparing institutions #learninggain #confirmationbias

[Nalayini Thambar @NalayiniT]

Anne Wilson @Careerpig1 from ⁦@WarwickCareers⁩ outlining the Strengths model tested as a tool to measure #learninggain ⁦@LegacyLGproject⁩ with ⁦@AGCAS⁩ members and ⁦@HeikeBehle⁩. Multiple positive outcomes but it is not a mass measurement tool

[Heikeb @HeikeBehle]

Sonia Ilie on the large number of students they managed to engage with @legacylgproject

[Prof Fabio R Aricò @FabioArico]

Warwick Strand - Self-awareness, Confidence, Self-efficacy, Career Readiness measured through R2 Strenghts Profile. Students received feedback on realised/unrealised, weaknesses, learned behaviours. #learninggain

[Nalayini Thambar @NalayiniT]

Eluned Jones speaks about the findings of the Internationalisation strand of the #learninggain ⁦@LegacyLGproject⁩ led by ⁦@careersbham⁩ with ⁦@AGCAS⁩ colleagues

[Julian Crockford💙 @JulianCrockford]

@soniailie conceptual model of #learninggain - crucially outcome measures show variation across time (u-shape) and between students - gains are not linear, they ebb and flows across time and are subject to a whole range of contextual differentiation factors.

[Nalayini Thambar @NalayiniT]

An interesting day reflecting on @LegacyLGproject with @HughesHughes8 representing the work of many @AGCAS members and @eccles1904 in the presence of friends and colleagues including Dr Bob Gilworth and @WynMorgan8 #learninggain
