Supporting students online<\/strong><\/h2>\n

With each cohort comprising students who may be learning on campus, at home, or in different time zones,\u00a0<\/span>supporting cohort cohesion<\/span><\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>fostering cohort identity<\/span><\/b>\u00a0will be important for student satisfaction. For example, while by necessity not all learning can be undertaken together, common activities which engage the whole cohort should be provided.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Both new and current students will need\u00a0<\/span>support to adjust to new ways of learning<\/span><\/b>. Providing<\/span>\u00a0clear guidance and setting expectations<\/span><\/b>\u00a0of what is required of students, as well as providing guidance on how to engage effectively with new modes of learning and study will support student success.<\/span><\/p>\n

Developing a\u00a0<\/span>sense of connectedness and belonging<\/span><\/b>\u00a0so that students feel part of their School\/Dept community and the wider University community will be critical. This will need an integrated approach that takes into account the students\u2019 experience in the context of their programme, the modules they take and the teaching they experience as well as support from academic tutors, support centres and student services more widely.<\/span><\/p>\n
