A6 - a real understanding of what life actually looks like for our students, academics, educational professionals etc. Only then can we see what lies deeper and design appropriately. How we can get there ➡️ foster open / non-judgemental spaces for these conversations to happen. #LTHEchat

A6. It would be learner-informed, collaborative and impactful and would be born out of celebrating diversity rather than accommodating it. We can learn so much from people's varied knowledge and experiences #LTHEchat

A6: inclusive learning design would be an expected element in any PD, especially when new tech is introduced. We would all be ready with the question, “so does this work for x learners?” #LTHEchat

A5: I think telling students how the learning design/ materials they’re using are inclusive is a great start. Pointing out what is or isn’t working well to raise awareness at first #LTHEchat

A4: make it part of the conversation in every PD - some concepts take a while to sink in and settle, so little and often is helpful #LTHEchat

…and also WHY they are using AI tools - this is one of the most useful conversations I’ve had with students in research interviews recently. Their reasons can help us understand what’s working and not working in the learning and teaching process #LTHEchat

A6 'authentic' always seems tied to industry-practice and employability, whereas I wish it just meant human-to-human. Makes me think of how precious learning interactions can be. Life is limited and our connections are finite. Wouldn't it be nice if authentic meant honouring that #LTHEchat
