2010 NEXus: Opportunities for Nursing Students
This document discusses a dean's perspective on their school of nursing joining NEXus, a consortium that allows students to take courses from other member institutions. The dean cites benefits like increasing course options and networks for students without hiring more faculty, reasonable costs, and orientation support. Some challenges included navigating financial aid and registration between institutions on different academic calendars. Outcomes included expanded course offerings and research mentors for students, and advantages like increased faculty collaboration, networks, and income. Overall, joining NEXus enhanced collegiality and allowed sharing of resources between smaller PhD programs.

Exploring widening access through partnerships Pete Cannell, Ronald MacIntyre...
In this session we explore the issues that we have confronted, and some of the lessons we have learnt in Scotland, in tackling widening access work across a broad scope. Much of the impetus for this activity began through community based partnerships, however, it has now lead to major engagement with 21 of Scotland’s colleges and partnerships with several of the major unions which has opened doors into workplaces that were previously closed. We look at how it is possible to work at scale with networks of local partners and discuss how the activity aligns and interacts with important policy drivers for widening access in Scotland.
Advocating Open Access: Before, during and after HEFCE
Since “self-archiving” of research outputs was first mooted in the mid-1990s, initiatives towards “green” Open Access (OA) across the sector have met with generally limited success and coverage in institutional and subject repositories is generally cited at around 20-30%. However, since the Finch report in 2012 combined with OA policies from RCUK, also in 2012, and HEFCE the following year, there is little doubt that a tipping point of awareness has been reached. This session will aim to contextualise the HEFCE policy in the broader history of Open Access and present a case study of a non-research intensive University and how the repository manager has sought to liaise with academic support services in order to facilitate knowledge exchange across the University. - See more at: http://www.cilip.org.uk/events/open-access-advocacy#sthash.9YqReHt0.dpuf

HEFCE is a non-departmental public body that was formed in 1992 to implement government policy and advise on higher education (HE) in England. It provides investment in HE, regulates the sector for quality and accountability, publishes information on HE performance and participation, and works in partnership with other organizations involved in HE. Some of its key roles include funding teaching and research, monitoring institutions, and supporting widening participation. It is undergoing internal changes to focus on the effects of new financial arrangements for students and institutions.

This presentation was given by Doug Holland and Trish Rose-Sandler at the Missouri Libraries Association conference held in St Louis MO in Oct 2013. There is a significant online literature and image repository called the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL). Content from this repository has inspired a range of users to re-contextualize the BHL data in new, previously unimagined roles including: scientists creating visualizations of species names publishing; citizen scientists blogging about fascinating creatures; designers incorporating marine life into wedding invitations, artists creating collages of animal illustrations and nature photography ; and home decorators adding punch and wit to the walls of their kids bedrooms. Using the example of BHL and its open data principles, the presentation will discuss what open data is and how libraries can expand the impact and reach of their collections through open data methods.

This document summarizes an interview with Dr. Stephanie McKendry about her research on replacing a successful campus-based pre-entry program for nursing students with a virtual version.
[1] Dr. McKendry conducted research through action research cycles involving interviews and evaluations. Her research found that replacing campus activities with online versions is limited and may threaten inclusivity by disenfranchising some learners.
[2] Interviews with students who attended the campus-based pre-entry program found that the "face time" and socialization aspects were most valuable in building confidence and community. Students were not confident that an online version could replicate these benefits.

This document discusses challenges and opportunities in expanding higher education systems to provide opportunities to more students, especially those from low socioeconomic backgrounds. It summarizes research on increasing student demand for higher education in Australia and strategies to improve access and participation. Key points discussed include expanding access while managing costs, developing early relationships with prospective students to shape aspirations, and rethinking how institutions and governments can better support student aspirations. University outreach programs are also discussed as a strategy to encourage underrepresented groups to continue their education.

Universal Design and the Inclusive Classroom
The document discusses the accommodation approach versus the universal design approach to accessibility. The accommodation approach views access as an individual problem solved through specialized accommodations, while the universal design approach views access issues as stemming from environmental barriers and aims to design inclusive systems for all users from the outset. It also outlines examples of accommodations commonly provided to students and recommends education about disability studies, universal design, and involving students as ways to transition from an accommodation to universal design approach.
Marketing participation? Student ambassadors’ contribution to Widening Partic...
This document outlines research on the role of student ambassadors in marketing and widening participation activities at two universities. It finds that while the original goal was to increase access to higher education, marketing pressures have led universities to use ambassadors to promote their own institutions. Ambassadors and participants report mixed messages, with ambassadors sometimes emphasizing the positives of university while downplaying challenges. The research questions whether ambassadors can truly increase diversity in an increasingly market-driven environment.

The document discusses a research study on students' transitions to post-graduate study, with a focus on academic writing practices. It outlines challenges students face in adjusting to new academic expectations and cultures. The study included interviews and writing workshops with MA education students to develop their understanding of assessment criteria and writing approaches. Analysis of the workshops found that integrating explicit instruction on academic writing helped reduce students' anxieties and clarified concepts. The recommendations were to support positive initial transitions for post-graduate students and integrate writing as a method of learning rather than a separate skill.

1) There has been a big increase in the number of graduates in the UK workforce, rising to 31% by 2011, though educational inequality has also risen with more graduates coming from wealthier backgrounds.
2) Despite rising graduate numbers, their wages have increased relative to non-graduates due to strong demand. There is also increasing pressure to obtain postgraduate degrees for higher earnings.
3) Postgraduate degree holders have seen even larger wage increases than those with only undergraduate degrees. However, rising educational inequality and wage differentials could threaten social mobility in the future.

Thinking of getting a dog? Be aware that breeds like Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, and German Shepherds can be loyal and dangerous. Proper training and socialization are crucial to preventing aggressive behaviors. Ensure safety by understanding their needs and always supervising interactions. Stay safe, and enjoy your furry friends!
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.
