The document discusses implementing a student peer mentoring policy to support student transitions. It explores how peer mentoring can inspire belonging, support students, and enhance the student experience. A peer mentoring policy can provide academic support and transferable skills. The session will address challenges in creating the policy and how implementation allows peer mentoring to become an established student support system. Participants will diagram peer mentoring schemes in breakout groups.

A comparative sentiment analysis of human, Gary FisherSEDA
What role can generative AI, such as ChatGPT, play in producing academic content that can be taught to students? This session explores the results of a mixed-methods study
evaluating the comparative performance of human-generated and AI-generated educational materials. Through a mixture of psycholinguistic analysis of AI- and human-generated teaching content and a quantitative survey of their impact on students, we examine the capabilities and limitations of generative AI as a tool to deliver higher education.
What next for graduate attributes? Exploring institutional approaches to embe...SEDA
This workshop will explore the extent to which graduate attributes are actively promoted by universities as a way to embed employability within programmes of study. Attendees will be invited to share experiences and approaches to working with graduate attributes through a
range of discussions and activities. We will seek to collaboratively explore the importance of graduate attributes and the extent to which different HEIs recognize this, and consider what
the future holds for graduate attributes.

Beyond belonging – building mattering into programme design, Rebecca HodgsonSEDA
Much focus is placed on belonging, but arguably what has more impact on student and staff wellbeing is knowing that we matter. 'Mattering' in higher education can be defined as
approaches and interventions which show that the university cares, and that students and
staff matter as individuals. This practical workshop will use a research-based framework and
evidence informed recommendations, providing participants with tools to design and manage programmes to enhance both student and staff experience.

Programme Leaders: co-creating support through community development, Neil FordSEDA
Programme Leaders increasingly play a critical role in the student learning experience and delivery of strategic education objectives. It is also well known that Programme Leaders face
significant challenges and often receive little support in their role. This participative workshop will investigate challenges and effective forms of development for Programme Leaders. Using examples from scoping research at the University of Southampton, participants will explore networks and communities of practice as effective forms of peer support.
Step up to presentations - the PPCP approach, Laura DyerSEDA
Presentations are a common means of communication worldwide with learners expected to engage to disseminate academic knowledge (Tsang, 2020). However, presentations
demands on students are little researched compared to written communication outputs
(Ducasse and Brown, 2023). This lightning talk will look at the complexities students need to
negotiate to communicate a successful presentation then introduce an adaptation to the
activity using the author's own theory - people, place, compassion, power or PPCP (Dyer, 2022).

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
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.

Supporting student transitions through student peer mentoring
1. SUPPORTING STUDENT
TRANSITIONS THROUGH
STUDENT PEER
MENTORING: POLICY AND
PRACTICE
DR JOHN BOSTOCK NTF PFHEA
CENTRE FOR LEARNING AND TEACHING (CLT)
EDGE HILL UNIVERSITY
TWITTER: @BOSTOCKBOSTOCK
2. THEME
The session will explore how a Student Peer
Mentoring Policy has vital implications for
effective first year induction and transitions
and how students as partners become real
change agents in the student experience.
3. DISCUSSION AND EXPLORATION INCLUDINGTHE
POSITIVES ANDTHE CHALLENGES OF HOW A STUDENT
PEER MENTORING POLICY CAN:
• Inspire a sense of community and belonging
• Support new and existing students, in terms of student experience and
employability
• Afford appropriate peer support to new students in their transition and
induction into university
• Positively enhance the student experience
• Actively support a university retention strategy
4. POSSIBLE QUESTIONS
• How does the Student Peer Mentoring Policy support the implementation
of opportunities for transferable skills, widening participation, and lifelong
learning?
• How does it advocate best practice as recognised in the wider HE
community?
• How does it ensure students have opportunities to participate in a
Student Peer Mentoring Scheme?
5. SESSION OUTCOMES
• Appreciate the value and the challenges
of creating a new Student Peer
Mentoring policy
• Explore how the implementation of any
policy must positively relate to
context/disciplines/subject areas to be a
credible and relevant endeavour
• Review various operationalisations of a
policy at various times and in various
contexts in the student journey to
ensure effective transitions
• Appreciate the value to both students
and staff of engaging with a student peer
mentoring policy
6. INTRODUCTION TO STUDENT PEER MENTORING
POLICY CREATION INCLUDING CHALLENGES
• Language
• One size fits all?
• Policy rather than strategy - Open to interpretation ( see handout )
• A focus on Pastoral Care, Academic Support, Wellbeing or a mixture of
all
• Duty of care for student peer mentors and mentees
7. AVALUABLE APPROACH IN AIDING STUDENT
TRANSITION, BENEFITTING BOTH MENTEES AND
MENTORS
• It enables individuals to address a wide
range of enquiries, which assist the
process of social and academic
adjustment
• It offers an approach whereby students
help students discover the new world of
university life through the formation of
safe and supportive peer relationships.
8. HOW THE POLICY’S IMPLEMENTATION BECOMES AN
ESTABLISHED SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR STUDENT
ENGAGEMENT AND RETENTION
• Opt-in/Opt-out arrangement?
• Students have differing needs at different times
• Must not interfere with student peer mentors’ own work so academic staff actively
facilitate peer mentors within their role, for example through the co-ordination of
timetables
• Employability skills and attributes
• Team work
• Pastoral care (liaising with PersonalTutors)
9. TASK:WHAT DOES A PEER MENTORING SCHEME
ON A TYPICAL PROGRAMME LOOK LIKE?
• TASK: Using the flipchart paper and pens and the Student Peer Mentoring Policy
(Handout) in groups of 3- 5 create a basic diagram or flowchart of a Student Peer
Mentoring Scheme:
• On a 3 year F/T UG programme (i.e. Level 4-6)
• On a 2 year F/T PG programme (i.e. Level 7)
• On a 1 year F/T Professional Programme (any level)
10. DEPARTMENTAL PEER MENTOR COORDINATORS
A Student Peer Mentor Coordinator is a staff member responsible for overseeing peer mentoring arrangements. Each scheme
operates slightly differently and so you as student peer mentors will hear from the student peer mentor coordinator about:
• Appropriate training
• how mentors are allocated to mentees
• rules about whether to meet individually, in pairs or small groups
• what you need to do if you or your mentee want to swap
• how many times you are expected to meet with or contact your mentee(s) throughout the year
• how you are expected to make contact with your mentee(s)
• 'Who's Who' in your peer mentor scheme and/or departmental support arrangements
• what requirements there might be for record keeping
• confidentiality policy and practice within your scheme
11. ENGAGEMENT ACROSS DISCIPLINES
• Media -10 mentors( i.e. second and third years and are assigned to all first years) for 171 students and
is transition focused and retention driven.
• Children andYoung People’s Learning and Development - 4 mentors
• Teaching, Learning and Childhood Development - 3 second year mentors mentoringYear 1 (53)
and 2 mentors forYear 2 (72)
• Primary Education-12 mentors*, 5 from year 2 and 7 from year 3.They support the year one cohort
of approximately 300 students, there are 2 mentors attached to each tutor group. So 2 mentors to 30
mentees.
• Some areas have yet to implement the policy e.g. ODP, Biology, Psychology, Law and Geography
* Aka SAMs (StudentAcademic Mentors)
12. OVERVIEW OF STUDENT PEER MENTOR ACTIVITY
• https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ho4irFjcqNwfSI12wh0rwmUqkNLSUm31FGPyh
4hhEh8/edit?usp=sharing
• Student Peer Mentoring is not something done in isolation but is interconnected with
many other aspects of the student experience i.e. transitions, personal tutoring, wellbeing.
• Enables us to see more holistically the relevance of Student Peer Mentoring to these
very important aspects and see its impact in important areas such as retention and
attainment.
13. STUDENT PEER MENTORING UPDATE FOHSC
• Faculty of Health and Social Care-Award Scheme Development and Accreditation
Network (ASDAN) accredited e-portfolio system up and running.
• Developing/delivering a 12 hour Semester 2 training package to support students to
gather the evidence for their accreditation.
• Research project to explore how this Peer Mentoring training improves
Wellbeing/Emotional Intelligence for both mentors and mentees.
• 12 months to the first data set.
• All student peer mentors receive 2 day Mental Health First Aid training.
14. NEXT STEPS?
• Peer Mentoring and Peer Mentor: Definitions
• Developing a Student Peer Mentoring Programme:The Benefits
• Student Peer Mentoring Scheme: Strategic Intent
• Purpose of Student Peer Mentoring: Pastoral, skills, disciplinary
• Regular participant evaluation: Scholarship and Research
