| Abstract | At university, students are expected to be independent learners. This can mean freedom to make choices about what one learns and how one goes about learning, but it can also be confusing if a student is unsure of him/herself as a learner, or if the student‟s idea of learning does not match lecturer expectations. For first-year students, this can impact greatly on their ability and motivation to persist and successfully „transit‟ to university. The Learning Couch is part of a broader initiative to support first-year students in a particular discipline via a virtual learning community. It is specifically designed to support students‟ exploration of their motivations and habits as learners, to develop awareness of effective learning strategies and improve their approaches to learning through a series of self-paced online activities. This paper reports on the development and evaluation of this tool for supporting first-year students. |
