Student Learning

We work with students and staff to improve our students' learning experience

As the university moves to online teaching, we know that many students will be wondering what this means for their learning. The Learning Development and Peer Learning team have put together a handy guide to help you through this transition covering:

what you can expect from your lectures
things you can do to prepare for your sessions
how you can structure your independent study time
how you can stay in touch with people on your course
what support is available for you online
frequently asked questions.

Guide to online learning for students

Digital Writing Cafe

Learning Developers

Our Writing Cafe is now running online.

You can access the Digital Writing Cafe through Zoom every weekday from 13:00–16:00.

If you are on a mobile you can tap +44(0)20 3051 2874, followed by 330493579#

When you join the Writing Café our host will assign you to a breakout space. You can think of this as a table at the Writing Café. A Writing Mentor will be sitting there ready to talk to you with their cup of coffee. All you will need to do is share your screen so they can see your writing and you can start the conversation.

The Writing Cafe will close for the academic year on Friday 12 June 2020.

You can speak with our Learning Developers in your Faculty through Zoom.

Faculty of Arts and Humanities – Friday, 10:00–12:00

Faculty of Science and Engineering – Thursday, 10:00–12:00

Faculty of Health – Wednesday, 10:00–12:00

Open hours will close for the academic year on Friday 26 June 2020.

About students

We understand student learning. Within the team we have a range of expertise about the ways students learn. Our knowledge includes student identity and belonging, student experience and engagement, academic writing practices and social learning spaces. We are research led and have active involvements with national professional networks for Learning Development as well as Peer Learning.

For students

We work for students, by delivering teaching sessions tailored to their needs and disciplines in a way they can understand. We also offer individual tutorials where students can receive individual attention as well as producing digital resources for independent and distance study.

With students

We help student workers to develop their understanding, knowledge and experience to support their peers and provide a community and sense of belonging.
