Introduction
#LTHEchat 204 is hosted by Rachelle and Laura on behalf of the #creativeHE community. #creativeHE supports pedagogical rebels and free-thinking innovators in experimenting with, developing, sharing and getting support for novel learning and teaching ideas.
During this week’s #LTHEchat, we ask you to reflect on your experiences and to share your ideas in order to support creative practice centred around student engagement online. #creativeHE members have been telling us that they are finding new and innovative ways to creatively approach teaching and learning in the online environment, and we want to extend the conversation to the #LTHEchat community.
In this #LTHEchat, the term ‘student’ is used to refer to anybody with whom you interact. This may be undergraduate/postgraduate students, academic staff, other professionals you encounter. Essentially, ‘students’, to you, should mean whatever you want it to be. Feel free to be creative in your interpretation of who we mean by ‘students’.
