Watch the concluding video (3:06) by Professor Liz Thomas, during the UK Student Outcomes webinar in September, as she summarises her independent research across six UK universities into the positive impact on students’ experience, including learning, confidence, motivation, skills, satisfaction, wellbeing and persistence. 

“How do we help students re-engage with learning, think about how they’re going to develop their online skills, and how we use Studiosity to help us do that”.

With record numbers of students starting courses at UK universities this autumn, Vice Chancellors are reportedly concerned that many may not last the year, with specific worries related to students adapting to independent online learning, according to a recent article in the Guardian. What's the student perspective? We asked Student Union president at UK partner university Plymouth MarJon, Lauren Edwards, to share her thoughts on this and her own experience of studying for and completing her dissertation online during lockdown.

A cross-institutional independent study by Professor Liz Thomas showed that in all six UK universities, students that use Studiosity have a higher continuation rate than non users.

These days, people really want to get into the thriving tech sector.

Students are dreaming about being software engineers. Mid-career switchers are attending bootcamps in an attempt to get up to speed. For those of us who don’t have the luxury of time and background in the topic, it can be daunting to get started.

With that in mind, we spoke to two GovTech engineers – new to the workforce, no less – to tell us how one can get started on learning about tech and what it’s like to start a career in tech right now.
