A couple of weeks ago,\u00a0I went along to the first\u00a0Humanities & Social Sciences\u00a0Future Faculty: Change Makers\u00a0event. When I arrived, the first thing I noticed was the energy and enthusiasm\u00a0in the room,\u00a0as students and staff gathered in groups around key themes. It was a great chance to meet in an informal setting.\u00a0The group discussion areas had tablecloths and coloured pens for recording ideas, and plenty of tea and cake.\u00a0We moved between tables to discuss key themes,\u00a0with student volunteers\u00a0to facilitate. It was a\u00a0chance to\u00a0hear and share\u00a0perspectives\u00a0with students and with staff in different roles.<\/p>\n

I work as a Learning Technologist in the Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) team (Centre for Learning & Teaching), a staff-facing role that supports the use of learning technologies. I am the primary contact for Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. I rarely get the chance to hear directly from students in my day-to-day work, so this event was a great opportunity to hear from students across disciplines and at different stages of their studies. The key themes of Learning and Teaching, Assessment and Feedback,\u00a0Skills and Employability\u00a0are core strands in our work.\u00a0 So\u00a0what came out of the day for me?<\/p>\n

Assessment and feedback<\/h3>\n

There were some\u00a0really useful\u00a0insights into student experiences\u00a0of\u00a0assessment and feedback.<\/p>\n
