They are totally the best #PostIts forever #LTHEchat

Keep us posted and inspired!

Let's keep observing, collecting data, reflecting, triangulating and importantly #LTHEchat-ing

I like your philosophy - it is easier for sure to edit than to stare at a blank page. #CatsofHE

Yes!!!

#HighFive - GAI can be a very useful rehearsal space for pedagogical reasoning by providing us with a low‑stakes, dialogic environment in which to externalise, test, challenge, and refine our teaching judgements.

Let's
1. show patterned change across lenses
2. Model good practice

A6 #LTHechat Example structure:

This intervention resulted in… (impact claim). Evidence of this was apparent when students… (student lens). A colleague noted… (peer lens). This aligns with and extends… (theory). This process challenged my assumption that… (autobiographical).

Purposefully collect data #EasierSaidThanDone

For a paragraph
1. Start with the change (centre)
2. Anchor it in student evidence
3. Corroborate with peer perspective
4. Interpret through theory
4. Reflect briefly on what you learned

#Scaffolding

Q6 - What tools, prompts, or stems help you get “unstuck” when reflecting?

Reply with A6 #LTHEChat and your response.

A5 #LTHEchat literature and policy agree on one thing:
No single lens is sufficient to demonstrate educational impact in HE. Impact becomes persuasive when educators consciously orchestrate evidence across lenses, rather than defaulting to theory + self‑reflection.

#HighFive #Cocreating #awesomeness #LTHEchat

#RuleOfThumb #LTHEchat examining each lens and asking

If impact feels thin → strengthen the student lens

If claims feel self‑justifying → add the peer lens

If practice feels context‑bound → deepen the theoretical lens

If the narrative lacks coherence → clarify the autobiographical lens

Q5 - How do you use triangulation to show change and evidence educational impact?

And the multiple POV that they bring are invaluable - especially when one is excellent in feeling like an #imposter and prone to #SelfLaceration in regards to their teaching practice #LTHEchat

#LTHEchat

1. Student evidence answers whether there was impact
2. Theory explains what kind of impact
3. Peers confirm trustworthiness
4. Autobiography shows responsibility and learning

A4 #LTHEchat its an interesting exercise to undertake in regards to evidencing lens according to the value that the end product needs to align to - perceived or actual and the associated norms.

Q4 - Which evidence – student, peer, autobiographical, theoretical – best helps you show impact?
Reply with A4 #LTHEChat and your response.

So so true! Little words that pack a big punch.

#HighFive - so true!!!!

Articulating impact struggles? Locating cause and effect, risk of focussing only on some voices/impact over others, also the question of how do I see my impact vs our impact, and quantification is always tricky. #LTHEChat Q1

The power of a conversation with a trusted colleague isn't to be underestimated for sure!

This intervention mattered because…
Evidence of impact was apparent when students…
A significant shift occurred in…
This experience reshaped my understanding of…
The most meaningful impact was not immediately visible, but…

A3 #LTHEchat when writing my SFHEA applciaiton all those years ago the one thing that calmed me down from stressing about "the right way to write" was reviewing an application and highlighting sentence stems - thanks Marios Hadjianastasis!

Q3 - What helps you move from describing events to interpreting their significance?
Reply with A3 #LTHEChat and your response.

That is such a challenge - the cognitive load of teaching then including capturing, reflecting, gathering data purposefully etc...
