Student partnership in the development of pre-arrival resources

Student partnership in the development of pre-arrival resources
Student partnership in the development of pre-arrival resources

In Chapter 2, Neil Ford outlines how student partnership can be used in the development of pre-arrival transition resources. This chapter will explore the concept of working with students as partners to develop, evaluate and enhance an online pre-arrival module designed to support effective transition to studying. The chapter will review the potential benefits of student partnership in relation to transition work by drawing connections between established partnership models (e.g. Healey et al, 2014) and elements of what works for successful student transition (Thomas, 2012). We will explore this through the practical case study of the employment of student interns in the development of several iterations of an online transition module at a UK, Russell Group university. The case study will reflect on effective approaches for working with students, as well as highlighting the benefits of the stakeholders in partnership work, both in terms of benefit to the organization and the development and employability benefits for students.

Abstract

In Chapter 2, Neil Ford outlines how student partnership can be used in the development of pre-arrival transition resources. This chapter will explore the concept of working with students as partners to develop, evaluate and enhance an online pre-arrival module designed to support effective transition to studying. The chapter will review the potential benefits of student partnership in relation to transition work by drawing connections between established partnership models (e.g. Healey et al, 2014) and elements of what works for successful student transition (Thomas, 2012). We will explore this through the practical case study of the employment of student interns in the development of several iterations of an online transition module at a UK, Russell Group university. The case study will reflect on effective approaches for working with students, as well as highlighting the benefits of the stakeholders in partnership work, both in terms of benefit to the organization and the development and employability benefits for students.
