Education and research news, views and commentary from the team at UCEM
It can be overwhelming to find the right information or right support when needed. Also, as students progress from semester to semester they face unique challenges. Our aim therefore was to build a self-directed yet skinny orientation experience for students before they start their semester journey.
Key skills such as preparing and gathering information, organising and synthesising ideas into a final assessment are integral to success in students chosen programme of study. UCEM has set up various study support and assessment support resources and channels to help students thrive in their academic journey. This blog covers about the compact resource designed for assessment success.
Forum discussions are an integral part of online education. They are the medium through which students and tutors interact, share, learn and thrive. However, when it comes to assignment forums, student behaviour can differ. This is mostly because of the notion that the question being asked may be judged, thinking it silly or not sure whether to ask or not. This blog covers how Digital education team provided the solution to help students overcome their barrier.
