With the right mindset, you can thrive.When undergraduate students start their university course their timetable probably shows a selection of lectures, seminars and tutorials, and perhaps other sessions such as workshops and clinics. But how do they know what these are or what their role within them might be? Hubbard et al. (2020, p. 59–77) say that making the language of higher education clear and accessible to students is a key factor in enabling them to succeed. But Birtill et al. (2022) point out that there is no common language across institutions. This blog sheds light on how we can help students understand the terminology their institutions use to help them engage effectively in the sessions they attend.

Funded by the PRAXIS bahrain consumer email list Scholarship and Innovation Centre. In the school where the study took place, all synchronous taught events were listed on the timetable as tutorials. So the project’s intentions were to look at what happened in these sessions to see if they were using the same format and to trial the use of a differently labelled session. The data was gathered from a year 2 childhood and youth studies degree module which had approximately 1,000 online distance-learning students enrolled; a mode of study identified as needing more ‘specially tailored’ learning experiences (Garratt-Reed et al., 2016, p. 2).
