Apologies for cross posting Just a quick reminder that our research on students' perspectives and experiences of independent learning is to be launched by the HEA tomorrow (2nd December). This includes a free lunchtime webinar on 2/12 : <https://www.heacademy.ac.uk/research/research-webinars> https://www.heacademy.ac.uk/research/research-webinars. If you cannot attend the webinar, but would like a copy of the report and access to the recording you should sign up for the webinar, and these materials will be sent to you afterwards. We will also be delivering a workshop at the Universities UK conference on Enhancing the student experience on 9th December <http://www.universitiesuk.ac.uk/events/Pages/StudentExperience2015.aspx> http://www.universitiesuk.ac.uk/events/Pages/StudentExperience2015.aspx. We found students from all disciplines were under-prepared for the reality of independent learning in higher education. Many felt overwhelmed by both the volume and type of learning required.
