Introduction
Improving student success
A first strategy is to help transition, e.g. make sure that a learner will be able to cope with a new type of environment (e.g. moving from high school to university).
The team from the Student success project created a poster with the following objective:
This poster presents a suite of openly available digital readiness/preparation tools, created by the Student Success Toolbox project, which can be used by programme teams/institutions, to address the problem of effective flexible learner transitions into Higher Education (HE), during the study-lifecycle’s initial stages. Flexible learners are defined, here, as adults engaged in part-time or online/distance-learning. Enhancing retention and completion rates of this group is a problem both globally and within the Irish context. Method: This poster presents a summary of how each tool can be utilised, along with links to further online information, along with the tool itself. Result: Eight tools havebeen created, based on an analysis of existing literature and tools used internationally, along with a guide to supporting new flexible learners, which will inform institutions/discipline teams on how to effectively deploy these tools. This poster aids in the dissemination of the tools, and related guide, as well as highlighting other dissemination events. Conclusion: This project provides resources to institutions/discipline teams to help them support flexible learners through key transitions in the early stages of the study-lifecycle.
