Hi, Just to follow on from what Rafe has already said – my colleague Angela Newton and I have been working with Megan Kime to adapt the Studying in a Digital Age module into 10 standalone online/blended resources using the Evolve authoring tool. We’re currently piloting it with a few Schools and hoping that we will be able to roll it out across the University in 2019/20. If anyone would like to chat more about what we’re doing and how the resources are structured, then please feel free to get in touch off-list.

It is a 5 credit supernumerary module, adopted by many schools across the University, designed as a foundation for digital literacy and identity. https://mymedia.leeds.ac.uk/Mediasite/Play/1c0d48d110a24a96ac36df15093cd4e81d Megan Kime is currently leading its adaptation at Leeds, sometimes as a full module, sometimes integrated as a resource within existing research and skills modules at Level 1. http://webprod3.leeds.ac.uk/catalogue/dynmodules.asp?Y=201819&F=P&M=ODLM-1005 Rafe On Wed, 31 Oct 2018 at 16:53, Philip Vincent <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> wrote: We’re also exploring the idea of pre-arrival/transition modules here at YSJ, although there is no talk of them being credit-bearing (that sounds messy). I know that Leeds had a 5-credit module around Preparing to Study in a Digital Age (or something like that), but I couldn’t find it just now when I did a search!?

We’re especially interested in ones that may be blended learning with some element online. Also any that run across a number of departments or schools? Currently Reading is scoping ways of building on the Study Smart pre-entry transitions course we developed and are interested in ideas of a Study Smart ‘plus’ – but we’re thinking carefully about what this might mean and how best to engage students. Any current best practice or examples from other institutions would be really helpful, thanks.
