Abstract:
I have taught cohorts of Health Mentorship every month for half an hour at the end of a long contact day on campus for them. This session covered all of the academic skills required for their course. It was felt that this was too little time and the students had to take on too much information when also juggling full time and shift work.
After the COOL observation it was confirmed that a fresh approach would be useful. We decided to think about how this provision could be offered to students in their own time online, without losing too much of the tailored, personalised session we had achieved face to face. A bespoke online interactive tutorial was deemed the best option, so a pilot version was created with some input from their course tutors.
This pilot has been trialled with a couple of cohorts now, with promising feedback being reported from the teaching staff. A feedback questionnaire has been included for students to report queries/concerns, but to date no replies have been received. Although this was a one-off for this distinct group of students to replace face to face contact (given such limited contact time), it is envisaged that such blended support will complement future sessions.
This intervention addresses a number of the UKPSF dimensions.
