Rethinking Student SupportCollaboration Area, Teaching Grid, Floor 2, Main LibraryAnil Awesti, Lauren Elmore, and Elaine Moore (CLL) This session details and reflects on the rethinking of student support within the Centre for Lifelong Learning (CLL) as a means of assisting students in their teaching and learning experiences. The CLL Student Support Team is tasked with supporting the Centre’s mature students across four aspects of their learning journeys: study skills; e-learning; wellbeing; student engagement. In doing so, the CLL has taken a holistic approach to student support, recognising the intersections that exist amongst the variety of challenges faced by students. In doing so, the CLL’s experience serves as a case study of institutional practice in supporting Warwick students from non-traditional backgrounds. |
