This website offers an online module called ‘Learning to Learn’.
Although limited in terms of discipline areas, the information included here is relevant to most areas of study, and forms a useful resource for all students new to studying at University level.
For those registered on this on-line module, there are assessment tasks to be completed and tutor support available. However, other students are also welcome to use the information here as a resource to help with your studies. Unless you are registered on the module, your work will not be read by the tutor, and credits cannot be awarded. The module is only available for credit for students registered on the Institute for Lifelong Learning award programmes.
This module refers specifically to those discipline areas falling within the Combined Studies Degree tracks of Literature and Creative Media (LCM), Social and Political Studies (SPS), Natural and Human Environments (NHE), and Information Technology and Organisations (ITO). However these areas can also be taken as representative generally of the Arts and Humanities, Social Sciences and the ‘softer’ applied environmental and computing Sciences. In this way the module is relevant to those studying in across a wide range of subjects.
In places the site splits into these four general subject areas (designated LCM, SPS, NHE and ITO). Please follow the ‘track’ which you feel is most helpful to your area of study. If you are taking the Working with Communities programme, SPS is the most relevant subject area for you.
