About our session types

The Skills Centre can work with you to develop your academic writing and study skills while working remotely:

Webinars: An interactive, online version of a workshop, with participation via the chat and voice features in Blackboard Collaborate.
Virtual Drop-ins: Online drop-ins with expert advisors on academic writing, literature searching and referencing, and Maths and Stats, for instant answers to your assignment questions.
1-1s: A 30 minute session with a learning adviser for feedback and advice on how to develop your academic skills and writing. Available on campus, by phone or as online appointments in Blackboard Collaborate.
