Overview
The UKAT Advising Journey game is a card-based game and design tool which can be used to explore the creation of a structured, purposeful programme of personal tutoring interventions by considering students, their aspirations, and the experiences they have throughout their student journey.
The game is designed to be used a group of personal tutoring stakeholders (personal tutors, students, administrators, professional services staff, etc) and the purpose of the game is to get them to consider and discuss building an holistic programme of student support by considering the needs and experiences of students. We would suggest that you need at least three people in each group to facilitate rich conversations, and no more than ten in a group to ensure that all members have space to access the physical playing board.

This resource contains:
- Three timeline playing surfaces which address FHEQ levels 3 to 7, to enable you to explore the experience and design programmes of personal tutoring for students at all levels

- One deck of Student Experience cards which identifies typical experiences of students at different levels of study
- One deck of Activities cards which suggest interactions, interventions and activities you can engage your students in and which may address one or more of the experiences from the Student Experience deck
