Who supports the supporters? Lecturers in post-92 universities are doing vital but often invisible pastoral work to help non-traditional students succeed. This study, based on 32 in-depth interviews, shows how this emotional labour can be both meaningful and draining 👇 doi.org/10.1080/0013...

Cognitive engagement is central to learning—but how do we recognise it in online environments? I’m leading an ASCILITE-funded study on this. If you teach in higher ed, your insights would be invaluable: 🔗 scuau.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_... #ASCILITE #HigherEd #LearningSciences #EdTech
