I'm looking forward Times Higher Education's Student Success summit, where I will be diving into one of the most discussed and contested value propositions for generative AI in education: personalized learning. As the capabilities and shortcomings of GAI technologies continue to develop at a frenetic pace, and as learning- and education-centered examinations of GAI identify opportunities and challenges that go beyond the hype cycle, the slogans, and the influencers' talking points, we need to unpack what we imagine when we invoke the "personalized" in educational settings, how we implicitly are conveying an understanding (or not) of how learning happens and what enables it, and the alignment (or not) between GAI technologies and the relationships we want to build with and among our students.

Have you ever felt that your wealth of experiences and knowledge, gained through work, life, and community involvement, deserved formal recognition? Then Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) could be for you! What is RPL? RPL provides a pathway to higher education to make your learning count. Whether you're aiming for entry, advanced entry, or exemptions from certain modules in higher education, RPL acknowledges the wealth of learning you've achieved outside traditional classrooms. Why Consider RPL? Your journey through life is unique, filled with valuable learning experiences. RPL can help you to gain recognition for informal learning, which can help learners to get credit towards awards, exemptions from program modules, and even advanced entry to programs. Embarking on your RPL journey involves five key stages: Information gathering, Identification of relevant experiences, Documentation of your learning, Assessment, and finally, Certification. This process not only recognizes your past achievements but also sets the stage for future academic and professional advancement. RPL Learner Stories RPL has opened up new learning opportunities for thousands of people across the country. Our RPL Stories section gives you an insight into the transformative impact RPL has had and how it helps learners achieve their potential. "Over the years, I gained valuable experience but never had the opportunity to get a formal qualification. RPL helped me to gain entry to a degree course.” Discover More 🔗 Check out the Prior Learning website: www.priorlearning.ie. Your past experiences are valuable.

Welcome to #MotivationMonday at Rushford Business School, where today we're diving into the heart of overcoming academic challenges through the power of resilience. Every student's journey is sprinkled with hurdles, but it's the resilient spirit that transforms these obstacles into stepping stones towards success. Facing Challenges Head-On: Academic life is replete with challenges, from mastering complex subjects to managing time effectively. At Rushford, we encourage our students to face these challenges head-on, viewing them as opportunities for growth and learning. Cultivating a Resilient Mindset: Resilience is not inherent; it's built through experiences. We support our students in developing a resilient mindset through mentorship, workshops, and a supportive academic environment that fosters perseverance and determination. Learning from Failure: At Rushford, failure is not the opposite of success; it's part of the success journey. We teach our students that every setback is a lesson learned, guiding them to analyze and learn from failures rather than being discouraged by them. Building a Support Network: No one overcomes challenges in isolation. Rushford prides itself on a tight-knit community of faculty, alumni, and peers who provide a network of support, advice, and encouragement, reinforcing the idea that together, we are stronger. Applying Resilience Beyond Academia: The resilience built during your academic journey at Rushford prepares you for the challenges of the professional world. Our graduates enter the workforce not just with knowledge and skills, but with the resilience to navigate and excel in their careers. This Motivation Monday, let's celebrate the resilience within each of us. Share your stories of overcoming academic challenges and how you've grown stronger through the process. Together, we can inspire and uplift one another to achieve greatness. #Resilience #AcademicSuccess #RushfordResilient #OvercomingChallenges #MotivationMonday
