On the 15th of each month, we are inviting those working in the field of learning development to share their day. Write up what you have done on the 15th of the month (or your nearest working day to this date) (plus reflections) and share it with us via this short submission form. The entries will be shared here on the ALDinHE blog.
In 2010-11 and 2014-15, the ALDinHE website was previously used for a collective online journal by members of the LD community. The collective journal re-launched on the 15 May 2023. You can read the journal entries for each month. The shared experiences and ideas have helped shape CPD resources developed for new and experienced staff, and to identify other areas for future work.
A reminder will go out on the LDHEN list on the 15th of each month. Share your day by completing the short submission form for it to be added to the ALDinHE blog.

Whilst term 1 is always busy for Academic Support, my colleagues and I have found term 2 being busy thus far. This may be reflected by more interventions by provided by Academic Support and even more engagement from students. I started today by attending the unit briefing session of a course I am supporting. I have already established a close partnership with the course, and the attendance obviously increased the presence of Academic Support and allowed me to become familiar with the unit students were going to do. In the afternoon, I met a librarian to prepare some materials for our embedded workshop on referencing. I also worked on the handout for my OFF-SITE trip to Wellcome Collection later this month. All in all, Monday 16 February was another busy but productive day.
