Sports institute focus is on undergraduate students and brings together three strands which are students as academic partners, UK sector changing the learning landscape and Worcester learning and teaching strategy. Students were paid to undertake this work.

The aims were to create a portal for students by students, enhance the way communication with students is provided and make resources visible and accessible and enable students to seek information at time critical periods.

The portal is in blackboard and has a first, second and third year tab, the academic tutor policy, an area on assessment and feedback and learning resources. There are video walk rounds for places students need, links to documents, photos, text and the use of highlighting key sources. This will be piloted in September and an evaluation will be undertaken with staff and students. It is hoped that this will become an across institution tool from September 2016.
