Access CPD resources focused on promoting academic success in higher education.
CPD Resources: Supporting student success
A series of CPD resources have been constructed in Blackboard to support your development based around the theme of ‘Supporting student success.’ By accessing the Blackboard sites linked below, you will be able to self-enrol onto guided resource pages.
Each resource block within the CPD package will include an indication of approximate study time to help plan your learning. You can dip in and out of the content, allowing you to work through the resources at your own pace. Once you have enrolled and started a resource, you will be able to revisit the site by navigating to ‘My Communities’ in Blackboard and clicking on the appropriate CPD resource.
At the end of each resource, you will be asked to complete an exit task which will capture your learning from the resource and provide the opportunity to leave any relevant feedback. On submission of this final exit task you will receive an email confirming and acknowledging your participation. These emails can act as a record of your CPD.
