The perfect student? @it_se presents four archetype cases all of whom are hard-working students, dedicated to their studies who, according to learner analytics, would be red-flagged. A moving reminder that mass data don’t tell individuals’ stories. #secretlife23

Here’s the @HEPI_news research on sexual consent that @SundayMargot just referred to: https://www.hepi.ac.uk/2021/04/29/most-students-think-passing-a-sexual-consent-test-should-be-compulsory-before-starting-higher-education/ #secretlife23

#secretlife23 Mic-dropping research presented by @elizabeth_sim0n showing that it’s not that higher education indoctrinates students to become lefties. It’s that lefties are more likely to enter HE. Fascinating and compelling research.

Interesting session at #secretlife23 on learning data. It makes me wonder, if engagement is a statistical precursor to success in assessment, can we use engagement data instead of assessment? Would it be more ChatGPT-proof? Would it be just as fair as traditional assessments?

“When I asked schools and sixth forms whether unis had ever asked them what they want from outreach and access, not a single one ever had.” @SallyBurtonshaw #secretlife23

He explains further that if unis can’t provide the experience that every one of their students needs, then they should be encouraging the@ to study elsewhere.

@markmleach rightly points out this is down to failure of the HE market. #secretlife23

Following on from a depressing panel on the difficulties that the cost of living crisis present to students, my concern is that “equality of opportunity” may mean levelling down (despite the valiant efforts of the SUs on the panel and, to be fair, @johndavidblake) #secretlife23

Next up at #secretlife23 @johndavidblake is in conversation with @markmleach and E-ORR has already got a mention

Oops. Wrong hashtag. #secretlife23
