LTHEchat 350: Teaching, Learning, Assessment and GenAI: Moving from Reaction to Intentional Practice Generative AI has become part of higher education with remarkable speed. In a short period of time, it has entered classrooms, assessment design, academic writing, feedback processes, and professional workflows. For many educators, its arrival felt sudden and difficult to make sense of, leaving little space to pause and consider what this shift means for learning, teaching, and academic practice.

If we lose our languages, do we lose ourselves?

Join Prof Alison Phipps FRSE, Dr Teresa Garrido-Tamayo, Dr Nadeen Purna, and Dr Hyab Yohannes as they explore how the languages spoken by both New Scots and long-established communities change as their sense of belonging shifts over time.

LTHEchat 349: Redundancy, Resilience, and Finding What’s Next There’s no nice way to talk about redundancy. It doesn’t arrive as a single moment, even when there is a single date attached to it. It arrives in phases: uncertainty, waiting, the conversation itself, the aftermath. For some, it’s sudden. For others, it’s drawn out and quietly exhausting. Either way, it has a way of cutting through confidence, identity, and momentum, particularly in a sector many of us entered because we believed in it.

The Exhibition is now almost forgotten. This project helps us revisit its legacies with fresh, decolonial perspectives.

Interactive Framework Our interactive Framework diagram shows the SCQF levels of the qualifications offered by the SQA, and Scotland's colleges and universities.

Interesting...we have different levels in Scotland. Level 7 is generally first year in Higher Education (SCQF levels: scqf.org.uk/the-framewor...). Initially wondered if this was just a 6-7 reference 😀
