## Resource

In this first episode of the LITE Bites series on Educational Gain and Student Futures, Bee Bond is joined by colleagues Caroline Campbell and Geoffrey Nsanja to explore how their pedagogical research sheds light on what students value, how they experience learning, and how we might meaningfully understand “educational gain” across different disciplines. Together, they discuss the role of inclusive formative and summative assessment, the hidden and relational dimensions of academic practice, and how these insights are shaping Bee’s work as the LITE Strategic Lead for Student Futures and Educational Gain .
