    Exploring the Spectrum of Learner Engagement

    In the third episode of LTA in Conversation, academic developer Conor Mellon is joined by Fionnuala Darby and Mick O'Connor for a wide-ranging discussion on a topic that sits right at the heart of what we do as educators: learner engagement. Together, they explore what engagement really looks like beyond attendance and participation, from designing it intentionally into our teaching, to treating students as genuine partners and co-creators in their own learning, and building the kind of belonging and connection that keeps students motivated and curious.

    Taking Your First Steps with the AI Assessment Scale

    In this second episode of LTA in Conversation, we continue our discussion of the 'Gen AI Assessment Challenge' with a closer look at the AI Assessment Scale, a framework for setting clear, transparent expectations around the ethical use of generative AI for learners. Hosted by Academic Developer Derek Dodd, this episode brings together LTA colleague Ana Schalk, alongside returning guests Damian Gordon and Roisin Guilfoyle. Together, they unpack what the AI Assessment Scale is, how it works in practice, and how educators might begin to implement it within their own teaching and assessment contexts.
