Nurturing students to widen participation, retain enrolments and reduce attrition
The University of Cumbria is a relatively new university, but steeped in history dating right the way back to 1822. With close links to stakeholders within the local community, the university is focussed on providing students with experience, as well as skills and knowledge, towards getting a job as soon as they graduate. PebblePad is used to support almost 10,000 students throughout their individual learning journeys, and for this project was adopted to improve student engagement and achievement, by supporting and enhancing the effectiveness of the personal tutoring programme.
