Invited to 90s themed party, so went as grungy skater dude. Good job most of my clothes date from then anyway. ;-)
Evan only knows why I said love you Betty! I blame Sally for fat finger typing
#lthechat good night love you Betty &thanks for a great week chat. Hope everyone has a lovely festive season with family, fun or peace and quiet whatever makes you happy! We are settling down for a family Christmas, enhanced particularly Sally’s son former chef Mat home to cook
And excitingly, Kay Sambell and I are looking forward to leading the first chat on feedback on8th January on BlueSky
#LTHEchat is moving to Bluesky in the new year. We will be adding guidance to the website to support you in this transition.
Excellent, Tweetchat michelle, congratulations from me and Sally
Really good questions and got me thinking a lot about additioanl things we should be doing #LTHEchat
That’s why your pre-arrival questionnaire is so effective and so important in improving student success and retention Michelle
That’s a key point about communication preferences Gustavo as some universities mandate just one means of contact
A6 The information that I would like to know for incoming #students that will help me as a lecturer: their preferences in #learning / #assessment activities or how to #communicate better with them (email, social media, whatssap, pigeons?) #LTHEChat
We both think that is very important point Paul. Some students only keep it all together by keeping some horrible aspects of their lives private.
A6 That’s actually a hard question. There may well be things going in in their private lives that may have a significant impact on their student lives.I don’t think we have the right to intrude unless they willingly disclose. #lthechat
Sounds a great idea
A6 my learners are staff. I send out a early 'survey' to share about them - I post a video sharing about me. What their interests are, what they are teaching, what their term will be like. Its optional but I get to know them better & tailor sessions - a little #lthechat,
We think this idea could work really well

What’s the problem with giving real accounts with logons to the university prior to arrival? Says Sally? Because it’s easy enough to delete them if the students drop out or never actually join the course. They used to do this at Leeds Beckett years ago.
A3 if possible, could you set up 'dummy' accounts before enrolment/send videos from the VLE companies to orient? Some Masters, esp international students often miss the induction,
Offer a more structured walk through and not assume they know that particular platform #lthechat
Lovely story
#LTHEChat Agree about buddying. As a new student @durham_uni #Trevelyan in the 80s, 2nd year students wrote to new students, I met Sue who written to me, and her friends. They’re still my closest friends from uni. Was really good to have friends outside the subject area
