Dear Gill

 

We host the generic English for Uni website on our University of Adelaide website. It’s free for anyone to use, and I get weekly Google analytics reports telling me how many people have accessed the site, which parts they’ve used and how long they spent on each section. We can also see where people are using it (town and country). However, we can’t distinguish between our own students and others, or whether the users are students or teachers. We do have a linked survey which around 200 people have completed (students and teachers) which provides feedback. (We offered a free prize draw as an incentive for the survey.)

 

There have been no issues with the website, but I have to do updates myself now the grant funding has finished!

 

Best wishes

Julia

Dear all

 

We are currently in the process of developing online study skills provision for students. We would be interested to hear if other institutions deliver this service. We are interested in both generic study skills provision and provision for students with SpLDs.

 

If you have time, we would be grateful if you could answer the following questions:

 

If you do deliver online study skills, are the materials ‘closed’ to your institution or available openly online?

 

Do you monitor the number of students accessing this online provision? If so, how?

 

What student feedback have you had about this provision?

 

Have there been any issues with this provision?

 

Any other comments?

 

 

Many thanks

Gill
