Another Study:
"Towards Success in Tertiary Study" was a cooperative project between the University of Melbourne and the Australian Catholic University, which has resulted in the development of a series of study guides for tertiary students with diverse needs.
The guides present study skills and resources for students with a range of disabilities, who are currently studying, or intending to study in higher education. The materials were developed through funding from the Victorian Co-operative projects for Students with a Disability.
Each of the eight booklets: Focusses on study strategies that deal with the impact of the condition on learning; Is based on students' experience in tertiary institutions to bring together resources and strategies relevant for each disability; Caters for students with less well known and invisible disabilities, for example, ongoing medical conditions such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome; and psychiatric conditions.
The booklets have been developed from interviews and focus groups with students, academic skills advisers and support organisations (virtual and actual), as well as existing literature.
"Towards Success in Tertiary Study" focuses on a range of study issues for students with diverse needs.
