Why focus on Skills?

  • Preparing students for the workplace is a key challenge Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) face. For many students their choice of university is heavily influenced by their likely employment prospects/options upon graduation.

  • Given the wide variety of disciplines, teaching styles, contact hours, and assessment approaches, many students develop different skills sets but still without core study and employability skills that will set them up for both academic, personal and professional success.

    For these reasons, we have collaborated with leading academics in skills development to design the Edumundo Skills package.

Module Topics

Edumundo Skills is broken up into three sections with separate sub-modules within each one. These three sections are outlined below:
  1. Study Skills Development
  2. Self-exploration and Personal Development
  3. Professional Development and Career Development

Key Features of Edumundo Skills

'Chunking' of Text

Powered by the latest research on learning acquisition, the content within the modules 'chunks' key theories and concepts before introducing interactive activities (individual and group) to both engage students and test their understanding.

In-Built Assessment

Built in formative assessment mean students receive immediate feedback on their activities and assignments while summative assessment is provided through quizzes.

Online Dashboard

Includes a built-in student dashboard providing details of task and activity completion rate, what module they are currently studying, time spent on each task, and how many more modules are left to complete.

Scalable and Adaptable

Edumundo Skills can sit within a dedicated skills module, aligned to and supporting the learning objectives and module specifications or can sit outside the module structure as a self-study resource. 

Supports 'Flipped Learning'

As a self-study resource with built in engagement and progression metrics, staff can assign students tasks to prepare for and complete prior to seminars/workshops. They can even monitor progression of the tasks at a class-level or individual level from within the Tutor Dashboard.

Helpdesk

Edumundo Skills is supported by our Operations and Customer Success Team. We're on hand to respond to tech queries from students and staff through our dedicated Helpdesk, taking the tehcnical and administrative burden away from central academic functions.
