TASH update meeting
Tuesday 16 December
Bart House Collaboratory
Three core elements
to resource:
• Inner ring – helping users to develop academic
literacy, personal and interpersonal skills, and
reflective learning strategies;
• Interactive tasks – orientation case studies;
expectations & skills audits; communication & representation exercises;
• Outer ring – “rapid routes” signposting users to
internal or external online and face-to-face skills
development resources
Three main first-time user types
• Getting started – new students possibly
directed to resource as part of induction
exercise;
• Quick fix – existing staff or students with
a particular problem to solve;
• Long term users – students looking to
engage with resource in its entirety.
