You will identify and recognise your own learning strengths and needs, reflect on these and engage in action planning to increase learning effectiveness and success. You will develop learner confidence to enable you to engage actively in the learning process.
The curriculum will be firmly focused on your concerns arising from a self-audit of your study needs and will include the following elements:
Self-review/audit: what are my strengths as a learner? What skills and support do I need in order to increase my effectiveness?
What issues and concerns do I have about study in Higher Education?
Learning from feedback - how can I use feedback to improve my learning?
Personal action planning and review strategies to increase my effectiveness as a learner.
There will also be a series of keynote inputs followed by workshop activities on aspects such as:
Participating as an active learner in the learning process.
The skills of independent learning.
Reading and interpreting information.
Understanding teaching and learning strategies e.g. lectures, group-work, seminars, tutorials, workshops, self-directed learning.
