For Student Experience and Services Supporting Student Learning development and growth in higher education
Rebecca was instrumental in developing the Faculty of Human Science First Year Transition unit for iLearn (also known as the Faculty of Human Sciences Survival Guide). The unit addressed a clear need for more explicit support for students in their transition to university and provided a place where they could easily find relevant faculty and department specific information. It makes students feel welcomed, supported and part of the learning community from day one, whilst aligning to the University’s Learning and Teaching Framework through the Connected Learning Community Connected Learning Experience.
Congratulations!
