2026-07-22 02:35:01 UTC

In the TCI have there been any biases or challenges coming through the question regarding staff being approachable?

2026-07-22 02:35:02 UTC

Are both surveys given to lecturers?

Are we running a post-semester 2 unit analysis of known bias indicators and TCI/SET scores?

large teaching teams

2026-07-22 02:36:32 UTC

has this been piloted in large units or teaching teams? Some units have 4+ lecturers and feedback might not come from individuals

Statistics

2026-07-22 02:36:53 UTC

What summaries are produced from the data? Means, trimmed means, medians etc?

In what week will the Set be given, can I recommend before week 12. Chris

2026-07-22 02:37:28 UTC

Is there anything we can do to improve the response rate?

2026-07-22 02:38:52 UTC

2026-07-22 02:40:35 UTC

Would the TCI create overload that reduces engagement on SET?

Schedule flexibility

2026-07-22 02:41:39 UTC

USS can be scheduled out of the normal time span within certain limits. Is the same for SET?

Is there a minimum number of students to complete each tutor for the TCI?

Teacher feedback in large units

2026-07-22 02:43:51 UTC

How does Teacher Feedback work in large units, with multiple lecturers, tutors, and practical labs?

Missing Feedback at Unit-Level

2026-07-22 02:47:35 UTC

Removing the item on feedback from the unit-level and pushing it to the teacher-level is a mistake - please place the feedback item back at the unit-level, feedback is more related to the instructional and assessment design of the unit than it is related to any individual tutor or demonstrator or even lecturers (especially as lecturers in most units with lectures as we traditionally know them have no opportunity to provide feedback to students).

Funding

2026-07-22 02:47:55 UTC

have you had issues with securing funding for this training?

How difficult was it to manage the logistics?

2026-07-22 02:54:04 UTC

Paying tutors and expected worklaod

2026-07-22 02:54:32 UTC

Are tutors paid for their time to complete this programme? What is the expected time investment for tutors to complete this programme?

How did your Unit of Study coordinators find the project?

2026-07-22 02:55:13 UTC

do the central team manage all the OTA, contracts etc???

kelliecharles1 — 2026-07-22 02:56:33 UTC

Do the tutors who go through the "programme" get a credential?

2026-07-22 02:56:48 UTC

Reflection

2026-07-22 02:56:52 UTC

When asking tutors to reflect with the examples you gave, did they come up with these on their own, or did you provide a list of topics to focus on?

2026-07-22 02:57:19 UTC

Do they all attend the sessions? What are the attendance like?

What is the benefit for the coordinating centralised team (other than workload allocation)? how do you sell the project role for new members?

kelliecharles1 — 2026-07-22 02:58:21 UTC

Students reflections showed how much they appreciated this

2026-07-22 03:08:31 UTC

But did you notice an improvement in their Japanese language skills?

Is there anything you would do differently?

2026-07-22 03:09:56 UTC

Using AI in the interactive conversation

2026-07-22 03:35:02 UTC

More about this please? Can they pause it to look something up? Or offload more than this even?

GenAI in the interactive conversation

2026-07-22 03:35:56 UTC

How are students allowed to use it? Can they pause and look things up?

Non-engagement

2026-07-22 03:38:10 UTC

did you spend much time having to follow up with students who didn’t elect to nominate a time or modality? At what point did you say that they just lost the 5%.

Oral assessments are becoming more important

2026-07-22 03:38:26 UTC

What training are you giving the teachers/

sarahhumphreys2 — 2026-07-22 03:39:11 UTC

What wonderful examples of putting Andrea's keynote into practice and designing for wellbeing, belonging and diversity!

How do you manage the pay and assessment with 1 hour per student marking hour?

2026-07-22 03:42:16 UTC

Feedback

2026-07-22 03:43:15 UTC

Did any students want their feedback immediately after the session? Was that compatible with the way it was set up?

How did you manage those students who underperformed on this? What sort of feedback was given as a follow up as the rubric seemed quite simple.

2026-07-22 03:47:13 UTC

Illness and repeats?

2026-07-22 03:55:13 UTC

How did you manage absences and special consideration requests?

sarahhumphreys2 — 2026-07-22 03:55:48 UTC

Amazing! I am curious though about the timed stations and your thoughts on how all students were able to perform to their best.

Training the demonstrators

2026-07-22 03:56:11 UTC

You mentioned a lot of time training the demonstrators, will that need to be done fr

Question banks

2026-07-22 04:07:42 UTC

Did you consider using established diagnostic testing banks rather than writing a custom set?

Longitudinal

2026-07-22 04:09:35 UTC

Did you explore whether, after the semester, success rates were accurately predicted by the tool?

2026-07-22 04:09:45 UTC

Can MAP be modified for other discipline areas and be accessed by students in their own time? Not sure if it can be integrated directly into my unit.

Have you asked the students what they thought of the tool?

2026-07-22 04:09:46 UTC

is ECON1003 effective?

2026-07-22 04:11:43 UTC

have you looked at whether enrolling in ECON1003 is effective at improving long or medium-term outcomes?
