Transition to University level learning may be overwhelming for many new students. Particularly, first weeks of the experience might be filled with a lot of new information, getting used to a new place and systems. The information provided during induction week can be quickly forgotten.
Through two iterations of the project completed so far, we have learnt that the blended approach to transition is the most beneficial for both students and university colleagues. It is important, however, to recognise that the best outcomes can only be achieved by engagement with the wide community rather than a selected small group of university colleagues (academic and professional services). Involvement with the wider audience will reap the benefits of well-prepared materials, provided in a timely manner. By engaging the entire community, better relationships between all involved will develop, turning students into co-creators of their community of learners.
