Em Prof Beverley Oliver, Prof Sherman Young, Prof Chris Tisdell and Gavan Watson come together to discuss student belonging and connectedness in the digital world.

Every student needs support, and some need more or different support than others. How does Studiosity serve a diverse and varied student base, and continually evolve the service?

Experts from universities in the UK and Australia and the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) discuss the critical topic of academic integrity in the UK - how we can support staff and students, how to embed academic integrity within the learning journey, and advice for institutions to work holistically in order to support academic integrity and stamp out contract cheating companies.

Students have been hitting the headlines in relation to increased levels of cheating just as a new Essay Mills (Prohibition) Bill was put forward to the UK Parliament last month. However, most students don't intend to be dishonest - so how do we provide formative academic integrity feedback and enhance self-efficacy?

Experts from universities in Australia and Canada weigh in on this multifaceted topic, to pursue solutions for better wellbeing and mental health support of students everywhere.

Meeting us at the intersection of online learning & UX, our Student Advisory Panel help shape everything we do, and provide diverse student representation internally, and more widely in the sector.

Professor Cliff Allan was joined by Professor Liz Thomas who shared her recent research reports into the impact of Studiosity on the student experience, confidence, wellbeing, access and retention following studies across six UK universities. Also joined by special guest panel.

Does it matter where students seek help, or just that they do? Do different students use different types of services, or do they shop around? Is it just the students who would succeed anyway who are accessing these services, or does this support make the difference? Jennifer Lawrence from the University of New England dives into the data, in this part of the 'Students First' Studiosity Symposium web series.

Observations from Professor Cliff Allan and Professor Liz Thomas, on 2019 and 2020 research into the impact of Studiosity on the student experience, as well as participation and persistence. The reports are cross-institutional studies carried out by Liz Thomas Associates, using 2019 data from 11 UK universities.

Dr Stephen Wan, Lead Researcher at CSIRO Data61 introduces the Data61 - Studiosity partnership that will see world-first changes to personal, timely study support.
