The LTExChange Symposia Series will provide the primary vehicle for this work, bringing together and engaging key stakeholders to support new thinking and share practice innovations as we consider the prospects of Inclusive Communities of Learning in HE through the prism of three interrelated themes: 1) The Compassionate curriculum; 2) Decolonising learning and teaching; 3) Mattering and belonging in student engagement. Each of these themes will form the focus for a hybrid LTExChange Symposium event:
- ‘The compassionate curriculum’ – November 30th, 2022 (13:00 – 15:00) – This event will be an exposition of relational approaches to pedagogic practice and learning design for a truly inclusive future facing higher education. Keynote speaker: Professor Peter Felton (Elon University, US)

Pedagogic Action Research refers to a wide variety of evaluative, investigative, and analytical research methods designed to diagnose problems or issues in practice and help educators develop practical, evidence-based, solutions to effectively address them. Action research can be applied to programs or educational techniques that are not necessarily experiencing any problems, but that educators simply want to learn more about and improve. The overall goal is to create a simple, practical, repeatable process of iterative learning, evaluation, and improvement that leads to increasingly better-quality teaching and student learning.
In this LTExChange Network Research Talk, Professor Lydia Arnold (Director of Education, Harper Adams University) introduces and discusses what it means to ‘do’ pedagogic action research in higher education. Lydia has published widely on the topic of Action Research and has developed sector-leading resources supporting higher education practitioners who are interested in improving students’ learning experiences through the process of researching their own practice.
The ‘Pedagogic Action Research: An Honest Account of a Powerful Approach’
Pedagogic Research Talk will be delivered via Microsoft Team on Wednesday November 2nd at 2:00 – 4:00pm.
