ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½

In the second phase of the project, we developed pedagogical resources and support that incorporate the learning and insights gained in Phase 1.  

 A key aspect of this work involved working in partnership with three Imperial ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ (funded by StudentShapers) to co-create materials that empower ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ to make proactive, evidence-based decisions about how to approach their studies in effective ways that also support their wellbeing.  

Our resource development and implementation centres on the following two key activities: 

• Creating resources and materials that ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ (from any discipline and year group) can use to:
  • Develop an informed understanding of the critical relationship between learning and wellbeing
  • Stimulate their thinking about approaches to academic learning that enable them to maintain positive wellbeing
  • Access evidence-based ideas for effective and efficient study strategies
    
    
• Designing a Learning Well Programme, which will offer a range of interactive sessions where ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ can learn about effective approaches to their studies that also support their wellbeing and have opportunities to try these out first-hand: 
  
  • The programme will be open to the entire student community at Imperial.
  • This inaugural event will take place annually.

Evidence-based resources and support for ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½’ use: 

These resources have been developed based on key findings from our empirical data gathered through focus group discussions with Imperial ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½. The strategies and ideas shared in these materials are provided as suggestions for consideration and inspiration. They are not intended to imply that these are the ‘best’ or ‘only’ approaches ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ should use to help them ‘learn well’. Instead, please use these ideas to encourage ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ to reflect on their own study strategies and learning behaviours and as stimuli for practical steps they can take to craft their own path to learning well here at Imperial.  

For other resources and support for ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½, please refer ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ to Imperial’s Student Support Zone. This platform offers a range of services, including counselling, workshops, health centre sessions, and student health webinars. Staff can encourage ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ to explore these options to find sessions best suited to their individual needs, particularly during study and exam periods.
