Session Outline

The Personalised Approaches to Resilience and Community (PARC) project led by Abertay University has sought to explore how student self-diagnostics can be used to help students build strong foundations for academic and social success. There are nine partner universities drawn from Scotland, Ireland and England, but this presentation will explore the work of Abertay where student diagnostics has been embedded within a mandatory microcredential for all first year students. The data generated informs student choices for further microcredentials, but is also deployed to inform the advisory system and programme leaders of individual or group themes. The solution focused approach does not just share data, but generates practical answers to the issues revealed and enables those students and staff to be better supported for success. Further details and case studies from three of the PARC partners can be found at https://www.enhancementthemes.ac.uk/resilient-learning-communities/flexible-and-accessible-learning/parc
