We’d like to invite you to participate in our Transition Strategy Questionnaire, which should take just under 5 minutes to complete. At the end of the questionnaire, you’ll receive a customised report based on the answers you’ve provided and it includes some interesting insights and statistics on student transition in the HE sector.

Some things we had a play around with induction this year given COVID and that:
1. Explicit session so the students can meet their tutor and links to our university profiles on the e-mails sent out
2. All online I.T, induction with very short videos embedded into a moodle quiz – Drop in slots bookable with I.T.
3. Use of Xerte website builder…Read More-

Hi David,

When they had their first contact with us we sent them a xerte with had some basic I.T. information (https://xerte.plymouth.ac.uk/xerte/play.php?template_id=1882#page2). We have way too many different I.T. systems (which they will eventually merge thank god) but it showed them what each one was about. I hope to revamp it to have better videos and…Read More

That all sounds great, Jonah – thanks for the link and explaining how the quizzes worked. Haha I definitely agree… as long as IT doesn’t come up in the feedback, then that’s usually a very good sign. Well done on all that great work.

I’m not sure if useful, but I have recently come across flipgrid (flipgrid.com) which seems to be in MS suite of technology. I used this recently to capture student experiences for a project I have been working on but it seems it can have multiple uses for induction e.g. where can I find, what do I do etc with other students able to respond, react etc.

Hi Ben. That looks really interesting. I am wondering if it needs some sort of GDPR disclaimer when you use it?
-
@jonahfox they have a pretty comprehensive GDPR privacy policy when you sign up. Run a quick check on commonsense: https://privacy.commonsense.org/privacy-report/Flipgrid. I would say it might be worth having an abridged version in the VLE if is used in a course

The ways in which we think about whether students need to adapt to the institution, or whether we need to adapt to them is a key site of debate as we contemplate the development of skills within individual students. My critical standpoint would be that in the age of the super-diverse institutions who welcome students who are widening…Read More

We’ve found a lot of students really struggling with IT issues this term and so want to try and do more ahead of January. It’d be great to see what you’ve created / hear about what content is included. If you can…Read More
