SALT Seminar: Equipping Students for 21st Century Learning
What skills do students need in order to make the most of their time at University? This seminar, that took place on Friday 30th September 2011, explored a variety of ways we can encourage and enable students to develop these skills? It began with an overview looking at what we think our students need to know and be able to do and then moved on to explore what students know and expect when they arrive at university. This was followed by four presentations on ways that we can help our students acquire the skills they need.
