TAG project

TAG: The Alternative Guide (to UCLan) will be based on an interactive website, which will provide a dynamic platform for projects within UCLan to support students in their transition into higher education. The tool will enable students to access peer experiences of all aspects of university life, allowing potential students to develop realistic expectations of HE. The tool will guide students to identify the skills and attributes required in HE and how to start developing them prior to arrival through resources identifies though the TAG site. The tool will allow students to access an interactive tour of UCLan to enable them to become orientated with the campus prior to arrival. The social aspect of the site will utilise Web 2.0 technology to encourage students to develop relationships and peer support and to share concerns or seek advice to support them in their transition. TAG aims to encourage students to take ownership of their learning and experience at university. It also provides an opportunity for students to develop their employability by contributing to the TAG project as either an extra curricular activity or as a client for assessment.
