Core Academic Study Skills Framework

Intro

Never has it been more important to ensure that our students are information-savvy – not just for successful study in the new ENABLE environment, but as confident graduates in society and the workplace.

This framework aims to make it easy for module teams to integrate information and study skills into learning outcomes. Use it during ADAPT workshops, and liaise with your Academic Subject Librarian to develop tailored sessions which embed these competencies into your modules in new and creative ways.

Help your students learn how to discover, access, interpret, analyse, manage, create, communicate, store and share information in a legal and ethical way*.
