Hello, and welcome to your October UniSkills Focus On… blog. This month we are shining the spotlight on a different type of resource we hope you’ll find useful – UniSkills toolkits!
What are UniSkills toolkits?
UniSkills toolkits are a suite of online, interactive learning resources which focus on a specific academic skill or topic.
All UniSkills toolkits have been created by our team of knowledgeable Academic Skills Advisors and have undergone a thorough review process (a bit like peer reviewing a journal article!). Academics from across the University, professional support staff and current Edge Hill students have all participated in evaluating each of the toolkits to ensure the content, structure and design are accurate, accessible and engaging!
