Dear all,

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.

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!?

 

There are also a few examples of MOOCs on similar themes:

Hi Michelle,

 

We are also exploring pre-entry transitions based on a pilot project we conducted in two faculties at our institution. We are scoping ways of building on this project, so I too, would be interested to learn of best practice or examples, if you would be happy to share responses?

 

Best wishes,

 

Ella.

Hi All,

 

A mid-week question for you… do any of your institutions have a Part 1 credit-bearing transitions to university module? 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.

 

Many thanks,

Michelle
