Transition Skills for University
The Learning Development Service offers academic skills resources for easy integration into undergraduate taught modules on Canvas. Find out more below!
Overview
Transition Skills for University comprises seven interactive units of academic skills content designed to support undergraduate students' learning at Queen's. Created by the Learning Development Service with input from colleagues in the Student Wellbeing Service, Disability Services, the Library, University Schools, and students, the seven units can be embedded directly into undergraduate taught modules. Content includes video and podcast interviews with current staff and students, instructional videos, and downloadable resources.
Transition Skills for University can be used both by staff and students; as a teaching tool in the classroom and/or for independent study. Providing practical guidance for students, each unit also promotes reflection on individual approaches and messaging on healthy learning.
The seven units are as follows:
- Becoming a Student at Queen's
- Developing your Study Skills
- Using the Library
- Writing at Queen’s
- Referencing
- Assessment and Feedback
- Professional Placement
Transition Skills for University offers a flexible package of teaching and learning resources. Module coordinators are encouraged to integrate Transition Skills for University content into taught programmes to support improved accessibility and the overall learning experience of students.
