If we are to move towards further engaging students in ways that give them more choice and control in their learning, and which provides more space and opportunity for individual and collaborative activities that are underpinned and enabled through appropriate uses of current and emerging technologies, then what are the implications for how we think about and approach learning support, including induction?

"We have to think about how to prepare students well for learning in this way...I actually do think it would open up a whole world of learning for the students if they felt they had the tools to go off and do things"

This section of the Transform website explores these issues, and puts forward a number of ideas, with examples, of how we might rethink the area of learning support.

This publication provides institutions with suggestions on how to use pre-entry activities, Learner Induction and on-going Learner Personal Development Planning to improve the capability of learners so that they are prepared and empowered and can take more responsibility for directing their own learning.
