Delighted to get sone extremely positive feedback on our SLKE project from the evaluation team yesterday. Marjon research and knowledge exchange looking stronger every day!

Conducting focus groups in realist evaluation - @ana__manzano :) journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/13…

Putting the finishing touches on the final report for @ResEngland today. Has been such a great project to be involved in - and some really exciting further developments still to come with the @marjonuni new nursing and health developments. 📝👩‍⚕️🩺

Amazing development of even more student-led knowledge exchange opportunities @marjonuni #KnowledgeExchange #Health #Wellbeing #AuthenticLearning

Really enjoyed my time with Mo Jafar today discussing the uses of sport education within HE @MarjonSLKE @MarjonTEP @afPE_PE @mojafarPE @NWalkerPE @DrLynchEdu @marjonuni @DrBrunsdon @Marjon_Research @GHuddPE

Listen back to #NCACEFest22 Wed: What is Civic Impact? Hear from @DrDSquire on @civicuniversity Network, @ed_ferrari on the Framework & @AdamEllisLeach Accelerator supporting innovation. All with a focus on #culturalexchange in civic impact 🎧 soundcloud.com/user-245837210… 🎧

Almost at the end of this project and just want to say thanks to the fantastic project team and everyone who's supported us @marjonuni and our partners. We're really proud of the new opportunities we've offered for students and look forward to making even more SLKE happen!

The issue, as pointed out by one of the questions, is how you scale this kind of opportunity up. This involved 9 or 10 students. But what about the other 100? It’s a difficult challenge.

Now this looks like a fabulous example of student involvement in knowledge exchange! #EDULEARN22

Interesting research on science parks ongoing by Olga Frances and Manuel Paloma university of Alicante. The journals may be of interest to those involved in student KE projects in the UK - I wonder how much the student voice is heard in this type of output? #EDULEARN2022

Exciting times as the first paper from our student led knowledge exchange project has been submitted for peer review. Several more on the way drafted by various members of the project team. 👏

@ProfDcotton talking about the SLKE project and transformative evaluation at #Iced22 - this is a great technique for educational developers.

Some interesting similarities in terms of what they found and our SLKE stakeholder analysis which looked at drivers and barriers to collaboraton. Drivers included: access to research and facilities; barriers academic language, lack of time and facilities. #StudentKEConf22

Interesting survey from @CultureImpacts on collaboration with He from the point of those in the arts and cultural sector. Around 70% only collaborated as a one-off. Why are they not building longer term relationships? #StudentKEConf22

Capacity building being done by @CultureImpacts - workshops, action learning sets and raising the profile of KE activities - sounds really interesting @NatalieRavenArt #StudentKEConf22

Suzie talking about ‘levelling out’ as marginally less patronising than ‘levelling up’! 😆 #StudentKEConf22

Suzie Leighton, Co-Director of the National Centre for Academic and Cultural Exchange (NCACE) and The Culture Capital Exchange (TCCE) giving the afternoon keynote. New development, @CultureImpacts sounds really interesting. #studentKEConf22

@u_mazhar - just in case you’re interested

Really interesting talk from Nottingham Trent about student knowledge exchange in sustainability. Strong links to the poster we’re presenting later today. #studentKEConf22
