A tale of two learners; ideas for happier endings in higher education Stella Jones-Devitt, Sheffield Hallam University


This key note was focused on FE and diplomas and transition to either HE or work. Students had feedback previously that they did not understand HE language and that their experience and achievement was affected by experience, expectations, opportunities, material circumstances. Social networks and, confidence.

Stella discussed having developed a module for 15 credits that was an optional transition module. The aim was to provide students with tools and skills for self analysis. It included a personal toolkit which focused on student expectations, strategies to manage, critical thinking, employability and evidence of their skills.

There were a couple of activities during the presentation.
