Induction for students in 5 days - making sure we cover all that is relevant in 5 days - difficult!

# data[].attributes.body
Suggest longer days for Induction week; colleagues working different times to extend the working day - asking for additional support over the 5 days which would include Academic Staff?!

Students remembering everything they are told in induction week - it's a lot of information for students to take in. How do we ensure that students who miss the sessions get the information. Is all the information needed at the start of the year or can we break it down? Is there enough information on what expectations there are from a module perspective (i.e completing formative assessments, no. hours self study, etc)

# data[].attributes.body
Can we make sessions more interactive or with work (i.e. quizzes) students do outside of the session to help them remember everything? (I've not seen all sessions so this may already be done in some)

Timetable given in advance to staff and kept same for each semester so staff know to keep their timeslot free.

Lots of information included and consultation on what is needed. The programme has been adapted to include suggestions from all teams

I think that trying to avoid information overload is important.   What is the most essential information for students when they first arrive and what information can be drip-fed, reinforced or explained in more detail over a longer period?  What different forms of communication can we use?  We know that just telling students things or asking them to read a document does not necessarily mean they have understood the information or will be able to retain the key points. In what ways can we check that students have understood the messages we are trying to communicate?

Does everything need to be presented either online or F2F? What other teaching methodology can we use to enhance the 'independent learning' element?

# data[].attributes.body
How do we make sure that students have fully understood what they have been told? And measure the effectiveness of both the content, and the schedule of delivery?

# data[].attributes.body
Lots of information on important topics. Good mix "serious stuff" and extra curricular activities

# data[].attributes.body
Engaging students in the online sessions- Disengaged students less likely to take in information

Balancing delivery of information so as to not overload

# data[].attributes.body
May mean splitting presentations into smaller groups but will increase student engagement and give better opportunity for students to get to know staff and their peers

Induction can include a tour of Virtual Reception
Review the VR Page:

Links on the vertical menu need to match the icons on the welcome page.

Create a 'map' with links from the welcome page

Include a timeline (Padlet) with information for each month/ Or a calendar with hot spots for them to keep track of deadlines

Key email addresses link- rename?

Create links to VR from Module pages

Conduct focus groups with students to find out their use and of the virtual reception and the induction.

We can create links to the VR for tutors and Students to facilitate their access to information.

We should provide some opportunuties for students to get to know some of their teachers in an informal way and create (more?) activities where they need to work/spend time together. Induction sessions should be planned to require student input - more like a discussion than a presentation. Andrea

Are there any particular themes that it would be useful to thread through different sessions? For example, to reinforce the importance of attendance we usually talk about this topic both in sessions run by SET and by the Academic Team. Are there any other topics or main points that we can reinforce in this way?

# data[].attributes.body
There are activities that can be designed for students to get to know about the library. F2F students can have a library visit with a challenge/ game to do, Online students can have some challenges to complete which can help them to understand what information they can find from the library resources.
