Project Title: Developing the Information Literacy Skills of New Students: Bridging the Gap Between School and University
Project Leader(s): Richard Waller, Peter Knight, Debbie Moss, Paul Reynolds and Georgina Spencer
Information literacy is central to the university learning experience, enabling students to locate, evaluate and synthesise information from a range of sources and thereby to appreciate the rapid and often disputed developments at the forefront of their disciplines. Previous research has demonstrated the existence of a skills gap, with students arriving at university lacking the information literacy skills required to locate and engage with advanced resources such as journals. This project will explore the information skills and strategies developed with secondary education, compare these with university expectations and develop a range of practical resources to help address the gaps identified.

Project Leader(s): Sheila Hope
“A year in the life of....” will be a collection of reflective blogs covering every aspect of University life produced by a group of students from all three years of the biochemistry programme. The blog collection will be used as a resource by the biochemistry students to help ease their progression through the programme. Followers of the blogs will be able to relate their own experiences to those of the bloggers and will benefit from seeing the different approaches to common issues. The bloggers will be able to evidence development of several of the graduate attributes.A Year in the Life Of by Sheila Hope, Keele University is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License.
