Fostering a sense of community in online learning with Elevate
Summary
We spoke to Dr. Graeme Pedlingham, Deputy Pro-Vice-Chancellor for the Student Experience and Head of Central Foundation Years at the University of Sussex to find out more. Some people like the idea of a foundation year because they’re not sure what they want to study and might be interested in different routes, this way they can decide at the end. We put a lot of focus on academic support, like writing skills or independent research, as well as subject-specific content. Foundation Year students may require more pastoral support needs, to help with learning differences and a lack of confidence. One of the things that was really appealing about Talis Elevate was that it’s a useful tool in fostering independent engagement with academic texts at a deeper level.
