Research shows that if a student is more engaged with their course, then they are typically more likely to progress in their studies. As such, TU encourages our students to interact with the StREAM platform, to see how their engagement fares and if they are more likely to need support at certain times in their studies.
If you spot a dip in a student’s engagement and you feel that the student needs support, you can refer them to the required service using StREAM. Students have access to their StREAM dashboard so they will be able to see the progress of this referral too.
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.
