Join us on Bluesky with guest Bianca Fox (@bianca-f-o-x.bsky.social) on Wednesday, 10th December 2025 at 20:00 GMT It is not uncommon at this time of the year to talk about loneliness. From an increased number of TV commercials encouraging us to remember those who are spending Christmas alone to numerous local events meant to bring people together, it feels like suddenly the entire world is refocusing on loneliness as if this were a feeling only associated with winter or Christmas.

#LTHEchat A6 To staff: Really help students bond, get to know & trust each other, then set more group tasks - inclg P2P teaching and multimodal assignments. To students: make friends/study partners/groups - share the workload and spend a lot of time talking about it in the canteen.
Q6 - If you could give one tip for making independent study inclusive, what would it be?

Very much so!! Every prep activity is developed in class - it is given status and meaning. We also add comments to the reflective logs. It is not about creating a shadow course for students to do in their own time but a dialogue in and out of the class - and between each other & us #LTHEchat

#LTHEchat A3 Education is a space of haves and have nots, of insiders and outsiders - we need to recognise systemic exclusions and work to welcome everybody in to education... It wld be good to talk about appropriate technolgy - which sometimes means paper and coloured pens...
Q3 - How can digital leaders support equity and inclusion?
What are the challenges and opportunities?

So I've been reading the Post-16 Education and Skills White Paper. There's some good things in there. But when it comes to universities there's very little to cheer. The situation is very tough and will get worse. The last chance to preserve what we've got has passed. Let me explain why. (1/?)
