"Delivering content" is one thing. "Teaching" is another. Confusing the two suggests a profound misunderstanding and devalues academic work.
Those who can, teach. Those who can't, deliver content.

Great night of comedy at Bradford Playhouse. Well it'd been a while since I'd seen any! (Not even 48 hours!).

Kate McCabe on first. Then Fiona Medding and Jonny ??? and headliner was Paul Tonkinson. MC was, of course @paulsilkywhite.

At another fabulous event, a discussion about black humour. Comedy can give an insight into black British culture and forming black British identity.

100% yes - too many small modules with poorly designed assessments that do not adequately test application.

[Jan McArthur 💙 @JanMcArthur]

Current assessment systems are unfair on staff as much as students. Gruelling demands make what should be a joyous part of teaching horrible. Staff & students deserve a better assessment deal. Here I & other colleagues are quoted about over assessment:

Loved the analogy, well the GIF @rmforsyth!

I agree Rachel, naively I thought technology was pedagogically neutral, but when we live in a society where measurement is 'king' I should have realised that tech probably resides in the positivist domain.

I’m an absolute champion of research into higher ed but it just wouldn’t be possible for an academic to put all the good practice about curriculum design, content dev, teaching, assessment, feedback into action. How to we make all this feel accessible to staff & not overwhelming?

Safe abortion care is essential to protect the health of women & girls everywhere. I, like millions globally, am devastated with the Roe v Wade decision. This will have so many ripples across the world, including in Aust, NZ and in our Asia Pacific region (Caroline PZANZ Pres)

@sm_rutherford So glad you experienced all the things the conference team envisaged. Spread the word, come back next year!

[Dr Fiona Meddings @fsmeddin]

@AcademicChatter Never, I was 51 when I defended and passed my PhD! So glad I went on the journey.

Maybe someday, women in America will have as many rights as guns do.

Are we ready to reconceptualize Feedback? An excellent, thought provoking presentation.

[Jane Headley @JaneHeadleyTL]

Feedback as advice or coaching may be more effective. Does feedback change the motivation? Should learners do something before this can be called feedback? @DocWinstone keynote #aheconference2022

[Dr Fiona Meddings @fsmeddin]

Day 2 today - excellent conference, living up to expectations!

[Marymcg @mcgrathmf]
