    Personal Tutoring: Boundary-setting and signposting

    Personal Tutoring has a significant role to play in guiding students’ academic achievement and engagement with opportunities for further development and support, where needed. In undertaking that role, it is likely that Personal Tutors will become aware of difficulties students are encountering which are impacting on their studies – these may be academic-related or related to typical life issues. An effective and trusting relationship will be based on a shared understanding of the role and its boundaries.

    This session will cover how to establish appropriate boundaries and manage students’ expectations. It will also cover how and when to signpost students to other services within LJMU for more specialist guidance.

    Led by staff from Organisational Development and Student Advice and Wellbeing this session will be delivered online.

    A Guide to Flipped Learning: Bridging Research and Digital Practice

    Time: 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM

    Format: Class
    More details
    This session explores the relationship between pedagogical research and digital implementation in flipped learning. It examines current studies on flipped approaches while considering their implications for student engagement and learning. Through practical examples, we investigate how educators might select and adapt digital tools, develop pre-class materials, and design in-class activities. The guide offers possible pathways for both those new to flipped learning and those looking to reflect on their current practice. Drawing from experiences across different disciplines, it presents various approaches to common challenges, alongside questions for consideration when implementing flipped learning in different contexts. By examining both successes and limitations, this session aims to support informed decision-making in flipped learning design.
