iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Very good point. NTF,CATE, SoTL projects… #LTHEchat

Thanks all. Great discussion. Good luck to those in the process of drafting applications #LTHEchat

I hear ya, Louise. I think it’s important to pause and recognise (be annoyed about) the wider context and challenges at times. A little bit of that can be motivating, I think #LTHEchat

A6 AI Agents, yes that technology we are fascinated by, is coming for various (entry level) jobs. Using PSF and the Fellowship process to pause and show evidence of where you add human advantage is key. So is critical thinking and not believing the BS. #LTHEChat @richbale.bsky.social

Yes, I think this is an interesting tension - trying to distinguish between evidence and impact that’s valued internally alongside evidence and impact that you can draw on for fellowship #LTHEchat

Very much this! Workload and time are very common themes and challenges #LTHEchat

Interesting question. I guess the part about context gives this flexibility? #LTHEchat

121

Yes! I’d very much support this. Also more inclusive for applicants #LTHEchat

And perhaps really thinking about your collaborators can help to tease out the difference between ‘I’ and ‘we’ #LTHEchat

You could also explore whether there’s any provision to have the application fee paid by your institution, given they’re not yet AdvanceHE members #LTHEchat

Thanks Louise. Really useful resource to help with evidencing effectiveness of T&L practice in HE #LTHEchat

Really good point - and I wonder how this plays out as AdvaceHE and the PSF become more and more international #LTHEchat

Fantastic! That’s half the challenge sorted, I’d say. Have you figured out which category of fellowship you’d like to apply for atm? #LTHEchat

Yes! Same challenge here and I think it’s very common, especially with SF and PF #LTHEchat

That’s definitely one of the challenges - finding the time and headspace to draft the application. Congratulations on the SFSEDA too 🎉 #LTHEchat

I love this! That’s one of the big challenges - ensuring you ‘shine’ as an individual against a collaborative backdrop #LTHEchat

I agree, Louise. V5 is such a welcome addition as collaborative practice is at the heart of what we all do #LTHEchat

People often mention the dates of their D3 and D4 awards. Do you think there’s a certain amount of time that is useful to wait before moving from SFHEA to PFHEA? #LTHEchat

#LTHEchat this is an interesting one - fellowship seems to appear more and more in job adverts and internal promotion criteria.

Really interesting. Can you remember how you learned to ‘be reflective’ and write in a reflective way? A2 #LTHEchat

What are the various ways in which you lead and influence others? It’s good to think about the small L leadership that happens everyday as part of your practice #LTHEchat

Interesting. I think the framework tries to decouple ‘roles’ and context to focus less on specific roles and more on ‘practice(s)’ so maybe it’s about identifying the various practices you’re involved in? #LTHEchat

This is a really good point. I guess the PSF leaves a lot to the individual to define so that colleagues in diverse roles and contexts can engage with fellowship #LTHEchat

121

That’s great, Martin. How are you finding the transition from D3 to D4 so far? #LTHEchat

Hello, Rich here, in a wet and cold London.

This sounds brilliant, Alina. I’d love to hear/read more if there’s anything available online?

A3: I think I’d always make partnership working with students to starting point so that any teaching in this area is co-created and co-led with students, who may have quite different perspectives, especially those from other countries & contexts #LTHEchat

Fantastic! I’d love to hear more some time #LTHEchat

I’ve just been writing about this today - in the context of intercultural competence. I think, where possible, making space within the curriculum, such as ongoing reflective journals, but also e-exchange with students abroad to discuss ESD issues internationally… #LTHEchat

A1: Maybe similar to intercultural competence - developing awareness of self, openness and curiosity, and respect for others (nature, the Planet) #LTHEchat
