What is Trans:it
The overall aim of the trans:it project is to support the transition from further to higher education and thereby increase the learning effectiveness of students entering higher education from further education courses.
Within the overall aims above, the main objectives are:
- To produce a suite of interactive support tools for use with FE learners, enabling them to recognise and develop their strengths and their identified needs in preparation for learning in higher education;
- To develop a supporting programme of tutorial activities;
- To develop a guidance pack supporting the programme and materials;
- To inform the development of the interactive tools, further objectives are:
- To hold discussions between higher education tutors and students (in HE and FE institutions) and further education tutors to identify specific aspects of learning support for the FE/HE transition;
- To undertake background research into the differences and similarities between the requirements for learning effectively at further and higher education and the challenges that learners face during transition.
The trans:it project has been funded by West Yorkshire Lifelong Learning Network (WYLLN).
The West Yorkshire Lifelong Learning Network (WYLLN) is one of 30 LLNs across England. The WYLLN is a partnership of higher education institutions, further education colleges and other organisations throughout West Yorkshire all committed to providing quality vocational progression for learners to progress into higher education. All of the partners are committed to providing quality vocational learning opportunities to enable learners to progress into and through higher education.
