Its also not unusual for students to be keen to get started and that kind of motivated learner are only to be encouraged…
A great start...but no reading list (this seems to be disappointing…
Building anticipation of the keen learner…..“FINALLY” perhaps denotes a sense of expectations not being met…
Building anticipation of the keen learner…..“FINALLY” perhaps denotes a sense of expectations not being met…
We find that some comments demonstrate more obviously negative view and we can imagine the effect on student motivation at even this early stage…
…and questions whether the Uni understand the student viewpoint?
(2 of 2) Anxiety generated by fear of limited resource... stock management issues
And in terms of understand our students we are talking about a generation of learners who are likely to organise their learning electronically...At this stage of student experience (coming from media rich schools and homes perhaps...are paper based only resources acceptable...
IF WE ARE TO REFLECT ON the question ‘are reading lists important’ these TWEETS are indicative of: the level of importance felt by the studentthe impact LISTS have on student preparation The impact of LISTS on student motivationSupplemental: And some may feel as in this case a sense of being overwhelmed by LISTS… Is these a issue of context and structure? A small reading list with no structure and notes is likely to be less accessible than a large reading list with a useful structure and supporting notes…
They are undoubtedly a challenge to collate and distribute…
And if you have to do this...and ...Preparation is everything...why not do this in conducive surrounding....(subtext: Aspire offers all the Academic needs to complete the task anytime/anywhere...)
A significant task then….
For some its not something to rush…
Can we do this more efficently?
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can we do this more efficiently….
And finally the librarian... Linking and integration “not as easy as it seems”... Again, it does not have to be this way
