Academic skills support
ILT supports academic skills, communication and capability development.
The Academic Skills Team complements the work of academic staff by developing resources to ensure students acquire threshold concepts, academic skills and capabilities.
We can help with:
- Resources: Learning Hub is an online hub consisting of materials and resources to support academic skills development. Students can also access resources from the Learning Hub course on Canvas
- Building specific learning objects: We can work with academic staff to build online resources to embed in courses
