Biographic narrative: a taster workshopdebbieholley1
Participants are warmly invited to take part in a practice interview, work on coding a short extract from a 'real' interview and carry out a sample analysis. BNIM draws upon the German school of thought from the early 20th century, and is a particular method used to draw out the 'stories' or narratives from interviewee's lives. What is of interest to the researcher is what the interviewee selects to tell us, and the way in which the story is told. The interview is structured such that the interviewee has the time and space to develop their own contribution. This approach is useful as it can in part challenge the criticism of the research interview, which can assume that an interview is an unproblematic window on psychological or social realities, and that the 'information' that the interviewee gives about themselves and their world can be simply extracted and quoted (Wengraf 2001).

Strategy Sessions: Innovative strategies for increasing online student engage...LearningandTeaching
Online learning often tries to recreate elements of real world teaching. As digital learning is still a fairly new field, teachers often face difficulties engaging students in this environment. The future of online learning looks promising. Perhaps the biggest beneficial aim for online learning is that it is able to not only recreate the real world classroom, but also be extremely versatile in how and where we teach students.
In these slides, Maxine Rosenfield and Simon Daly give us an insight into learners’ and educators’ expectations of digital learning and the benefits and challenges faced on the platform. Maxine and Simon share a range of strategies that can be used to overcome these challenges based on their experience and feedback, to work towards achieving better learning outcomes.
This presentation by Sara Bragg (University of Brighton) was part of the Higher Education Academy (HEA) symposium at BERA Annual Conference in London, September 2014.
The project, funded by the HEA, offered groups of student teachers to reflect on the increased use of technology in schools to track students and the use of technology by students outside schools.

Emerging participatory culture: Making sense of social media use for learning in, across and with Higher Education and the cultural heritage sector
Dr Narelle Lemon, Swinburne University of Technology, Australia

Social media promotes a participatory culture whereby there is support in the construction and development of a networked environment through which what becomes visible is “a shift from matters of fact, to matters of concern or matters of interest as the various agendas and opinions are brought together through networks” (Latour, 2005, p.5). The use of social media collapses boundaries between educators, institutions and students, and changes patterns of communication. In this presentation, Narelle will share experiences from multiple research projects where social media was central to learning, including community development Twitter and blogging projects with museum eductors, teachers, and pre-service teachers (#MuseumEdOz, #visarts12 and #visart13, #ConnectedLearning and Community Professional Experience); and research projects exploring the experiences of museum educators and academics (#AcademicsWhoTweet; Cultivating social media use with GLAM educators).
Key findings from these projects concerned the formation of a digital identity, mutual respect, sharing and curating of practices, peer-to-peer learning, visibility of learning, and reciprocity. Narelle will frame the notion of digital interaction through Tim Ingold’s lines, intersections and meshworks (2015), show how social media enables meaning making to be socially distributed (Rowe, 2002), and discuss how emergent participatory culture offers advantages for ongoing learning with like-minded individuals, new partnerships, collaborative problem solving, and the development of a more empowered sense of citizenship (Trembach & Deng, 2015).

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Stories from sidelines: Transition from Foundation Degree to Honours Year
1. Stories from the Sidelines: Transition from
Foundation degree to Honours Year
Discourses of Inclusion in Higher Education
Open University Widening Participation Conference 2012
24-25 April 2012
Kate Thomas
University of the West of England
2. this session will:
• outline the aims, methodology of a longitudinal research
project investigating the process of transition from
Foundation degree to Honours year
• draw on individual narratives of transition to highlight key
findings and themes
• show how research findings are being
utilised to support the transition process
3. Working on Transition
• longitudinal research project (March 2010-May 2011)
• tracked student narratives of transition from a Foundation
degree (Fd) at a Further Education College to an Honours year
at a Higher Education Institution
• investigated how the process of transition impacts upon
students’ experience of HE and their identities as ‘work-
connected’ learners?
• investigated the role of institutional mechanisms and
interventions in supporting/hindering transition?
4. context: Foundation degrees
• introduced in 2001
• two-year, higher education qualifications aiming to ‘give people the
intermediate technical and professional skills...in demand from
employers’ (HEFCE 2010)
• some Fds highly sector- or employer-specific; others more generic
(work-connected)
• Fd students more likely to be:
– older
– from lower socio-economic backgrounds
– have vocational, lower-achieving or interrupted histories of participation
in education
in comparison with students on ‘traditional’ Honours degrees.
5. the research context
• ‘validating’ post-1992 university with multiple
FE College partners
• 25 Foundation degrees
• 850 students, 600 FTE
• project built on previous research into the ‘first year
Fd experience’ (Part of the Bigger Picture, 2008)
6. transition
• inherent differences between the foundation degree and the
honours degree...mean the transition for many students will
inevitably be difficult’ (Greenbank, 2010:100).
• more than ‘discernible events, experienced in a linear
sequence of progression’ (Ecclestone, 2009: p27)
• ‘transitions become problematic when a viable identity in one
context does not transfer to another’ (Ecclestone, 2010:12)
• role of the environment in shaping
the impact of transition?
8. story/narrative
• four ‘stories from the sidelines’
• trajectories of transition, threads of work-connectedness,
agency and belonging across diverse experiences and
different disciplines
• ‘the rich accounts of the complexities of real life and and
emphasis on the particular’ (Bathmaker, 2010:3)
• ‘foreground the relationship between the individual and
wider structures’ (ibid 4).
10. information
pre-transition Some of us who are considering
going don’t really know what is
• programme content actually going to happen next year
• learning environment about what modules we’re going to
take.
• logistics
(I need to know)..where you’re going
post-transition to park and if you can get something
to eat because I tend to be at work in
• academic procedures a morning any time from 7.30am
• how to use equipment onwards and if I’ve got to keep going
until 8.30pm...it’s good to know all
• jargon that in advance.
11. interaction
tutor/student It’s been quite cool having J (HE
tutor) because she obviously knows
• context more about the academic side...she
• perceptions bridged the gap very well.
• ‘not being known’
my main concern is that we are
going to go into a third year and the
student/student tutors won’t know us and know our
work
• social integration
• role modelling You’re put in your place, definitely.
They don’t really know anything
about us but they make these
assumptions...
13. induction
You see all these possibilities, all the equipment and
facilities and you think ‘Wow, this is amazing!’ but then at
this stage in your degree you can’t just go and mess
about...so I haven’t used anything really.
14. intervention – campus visits
we went for a day in Freshers’ Week…we sat
through the lectures and everything was gone
by the time we got out
we haven’t been to see where we’re going in
the third year, so it’s all our imagination...it’s
like this mystery, behind locked doors...you
visualise all sorts of madness really
overall it was good to be able to visit as it has
made me feel more confident about going. I
now know there is someone I can contact
15. intervention
The different groups have been
mixed up…for me, it’s completely
out of my comfort zone…but
actually it’s broadened our horizons
What would really work is there was
one person all the FdA people could
go to if we had questions
17. Pauline’s story
It was an easy transition really...I don’t
feel I’ve finished one course and
started another one, it’s just been a
completely natural, smooth transition
from my second to third year. I think
that people who have come from
colleges will see it very differently.
18. Phoebe’s story
It’s almost like (the college) was playing at
being a university and this is actually the
university and this is how it happens
I do feel more confident in the workplace
and I’m quite happy now to go and speak
to parents in the playground
(the tutor) still struggles with my name…it
seems’ like there are obvious favourites
because they’ve been here for the last two
years. I don’t feel positive anymore
19. Tom’s story
College was just like doing two more years
of A level studies…then the 3rd year was a
big step up really.
It would be nice to come here and live on
campus but my girlfriend lives in Swindon.
I felt new at the beginning…now I just feel
like one of the crowd.
20. Maria’s story
You’re put in your place, definitely. They
don’t really know anything about us but
they make these assumptions.
I think I had to come here to understand
where I fit into the creative world.
The Fd was a gentler way of coming into it
which is the one advantage of doing it the
way we did.
21. utilising findings to support transition
interactive Transition Workshop for second year Fd students
• consider transitions already made
• resources and coping mechanisms
• use individual ‘stories’ to elicit students’ own concerns re:
transition to Honours year
• create a preparation checklist for further research/discussion
22. your transition to a Foundation degree
• when did you start thinking about Fd study?
• when did you make the decision to study the Fd?
• how did you prepare?
• who or what supported you?
• how did you feel
– on the first day?
– at the end of the first term?
– at the end of the first year?
23. your transition to an Honours year
• up to 3 things you are looking forward to?
• up to 3 things you have concerns/anxieties about?
• up to 3 things you need to find out/by when/from whom?
