Sphere

“Engagement and belonging can be nurtured

throughout the institution (academic, social and

professional services), but the academic sphere is

of primary importance to ensure all student

benefit.”

AssessmentTASK: In 500 words identify and outline an area of the media you are interested in researching and justify and explain why this is the case. You should also think about how you could go about investigating the area in a scholarly manner. You don’t have to actually undertake the investigation. This task is more about justifying why your area of the media is of current interest and creating a plan for how you may investigate it.

The 500 words are about outlining your interest and how you may explore it further. This is what we do all the time in scholarship. Your idea should come from your own media interests with regard to the contemporary media (that means what is going on today).

Your Workshop

Working in your table teams, consider:

1. How might you deliver an exciting induction activity by changing what you already have in place?

2. How might you develop peer mentoring & tutor support?

3. How might you build in an enhancement of shared social opportunities for students & for staff & students together?

4. How might your use existing service provision to enhance your home academic environment (or to remove the moats and crocodiles, Tinto 2015)?

Together, We Level Up!
