This online conference focuses on developing students as independent self-regulating learners. The event will have a conversational focus and will consider how personal tutoring enables the addressing of disparities in engagement, progression and degree outcomes by students from groups underrepresented in HE and/or with protected characteristics. Through discussion and practice sharing, we will identify ways in which this fundamental component of HE can make higher education more inclusive of diverse student populations and enhance outcomes for all students.

LTE Conference – Personal Tutoring

LTE Conference – Personal Tutoring

There has been much focus on Personal Tutoring over the last two years. The University’s Personal Tutoring Code of Practice, providing a consistent approach across the University, was implemented in September 2018 and this academic year has seen the launch of StREAM – the learner analytics platform pulling together individual student data reflecting their level of engagement. We have been fortunate to secure two speakers at the forthcoming LTE Conference (taking place on Thursday 5th March) who will be presenting around these areas.

Resources such as the AMOSSHE Resilience toolkit will be explored within a holistic model of student wellbeing which integrates personal identity into a constructivist paradigm of knowledge gain and skills development. Thursday 5th March is also University Mental Health Day and running alongside this year’s conference are two workshops.
