Perhaps include this in the Induction event. Additionally, a suggestion included having end-of -week events, as staying on a Friday night may be preferable due to work commitment issues from Monday-Thursdays. 
- The idea of on-site nursery/creche etc did not seem that appealing to most, as it may serve to "add to the stress". We agreed as an option it may be a good idea however.
- We discussed the "community" feel gained by meeting peers from the cohort- something particularly useful as during the first few online lectures, students are not familiar with each other and therefore engagement is more difficult.
- IT literacy/refresher courses suggested as useful. Students have a large learning curve with the several software packages, and so struggle to get their heads around all of them before the year begins. ]]> 2018-05-09 15:56:29 UTC https://padlet.com/cgeisel/induction/wish/259341092
