First generation students (FGS; those whose parents did not achieve a university degree) now constitute almost half of the UK student population, but access is synonymous with success. There lack UK-specific research on factors which might explain compromised academic success in FGS compared to their continuing (CGS; one or both achieved peers. This study aimed compare are associated (both persistence and performance) CGS. A sample 133 (FGS N=79; CGS N=51) completed survey containing...
Abstract This paper examines two modules within the Faculty of Social Sciences at The Open University (OU) and considers extent to which ‘passive’ learning may be taking place. Both are level one (first year undergraduate) use a combination asynchronous (forums) synchronous (Blackboard Collaborate technology, branded ‘OU Live’) technologies for teaching. data reveals that student ‘passive engagement’ with forums (reading messages in forum, but not ‘actively’ posting, colloquially known as...

The question becomes to harness attractiveness ubiquity electronic venues toward goal teaching neuroscience. At Rice University Center for Technology Teaching Learning, a central focus is creation innovative materials that appeal middle school students. A recent project was undertaken through Science Education Drug...

Providing teacher candidates opportunities to engage in experiences modeling effective technology integration could improve confidence/comfort using and support skill development transfer. A purposeful sample of 424 an educational course was administered the Technology Teaching Efficacy Scale assess efficacy levels teaching use technology. The employed environmental education (EE) lessons as foundational curriculum. Findings suggest candidates, who participated that included repeated...
Research suggests that creating communities of learning (academic and social) leads to a better Higher Education (HE) experience for students, which, in turn, makes it more likely they will persist their studies. The concept ‘student community’ HE has become prominent late, partly due the UK Government’s emphasis on retention. One way which student community can be engendered is by working with ‘students as partners’ learning: students work academics each other create extend learning,...
Online synchronous tuition has the potential to enhance study experience of students who cannot attend face-to-face tutorials, or where there are no tutorials available. This could be particularly beneficial for online and distance institutions, such as Open University, may otherwise feel disconnected from experience. One technology, Elluminate, been introduced in Faculty Social Sciences at University over last few years, with feedback suggesting that take part have a very positive paper...

This article explores student engagement with tuition at The Open University (a distance learning Higher Education institution in the UK), specifically students declared mental health disabilities, comparing their access rates (disabled) overall, studying Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, 2018–2019 .y. results show that disabilities generally engaged all modes similar proportions to which they were registered on modules. However, lower levels than modules, amount reduced as progressed...
This article explores student engagement with online tuition and recordings at The Open University. Key to this is analysis of:1) access of asynchronous recorded learning event summaries (LES), 2) attendance ‘live’ synchronous events, drilling down into the demographics students (disabled students, black minority ethnic (BME) low socio-economic status (low SES)) in one Faculty. aim identification ways current practice can be improved order better enable tuition, particularly that disabled...
