Invited to 90s themed party, so went as grungy skater dude. Good job most of my clothes date from then anyway. ;-)

Evan only knows why I said love you Betty! I blame Sally for fat finger typing

[Phil Race @RacePhil]

Excellent, Tweetchat michelle, congratulations from me and Sally

[Sue Beckingham 🎓 💻 💡 @suebecks]

@LTHEchat @it_se Really good questions and got me thinking a lot about additioanl things we should be doing #LTHEchat

[Phil Race @RacePhil]

That’s why your pre-arrival questionnaire is so effective and so important in improving student success and retention Michelle

[Dr Michelle Morgan (ItSE) @it_se]

@FieryRed1 @LTHEchat And The PAQ asks exactly these questions

[Phil Race @RacePhil]

That’s a key point about communication preferences Gustavo as some universities mandate just one means of contact

[Gustavo Espinoza Ramos @tavoer8]

A6 The information that I would like to know for incoming #students that will help me as a lecturer: their preferences in #learning / #assessment activities or how to #communicate better with them (email, social media, whatssap, pigeons?) #LTHEChat

[Phil Race @RacePhil]

We both think that is very important point Paul. Some students only keep it all together by keeping some horrible aspects of their lives private.

[Paul Kleiman @DrPaulKleiman]

A6 That’s actually a hard question. There may well be things going in in their private lives that may have a significant impact on their student lives.I don’t think we have the right to intrude unless they willingly disclose. #lthechat

[Phil Race @RacePhil]

Sounds a great idea

[Louise Rees, SFHEA 🪩🎨 @louiserees.bsky.social @LJ_Rees]

@LTHEchat A6 my learners are staff. I send out a early 'survey' to share about them - I post a video sharing about me. What their interests are, what they are teaching, what their term will be like. Its optional but I get to know them better & tailor sessions - a little #lthechat,

[Phil Race @RacePhil]

#lthechat A6 that’s a great idea to get to know what they preferred to be called early on. Sally also says getting to know any special or additional needs nice and early is helpful and although they might have notified the university, it doesn’t always get through to us quickly

[Phil Race @RacePhil]

#lthechat staggering this week when michelle was chatting to our granddaughter, who told us that at school she is lucky as she’s got a laptop to submit coursework from home but lots of kids only had phones. Much of the in class activity was hard copy but submission was hard4them

[Phil Race @RacePhil]

We think this idea could work really well

[Phil Race @RacePhil]

What’s the problem with giving real accounts with logons to the university prior to arrival? Says Sally? Because it’s easy enough to delete them if the students drop out or never actually join the course. They used to do this at Leeds Beckett years ago.

[Louise Rees, SFHEA 🪩🎨 @louiserees.bsky.social @LJ_Rees]

@LTHEchat A3 if possible, could you set up 'dummy' accounts before enrolment/send videos from the VLE companies to orient? Some Masters, esp international students often miss the induction,

Offer a more structured walk through and not assume they know that particular platform #lthechat
