Charles Sturt University (CSU) will officially launch its newest massive open online course (MOOC) at Denison College at Kelso in Bathurst on Thursday 29 October. CSU Dean of Students Professor Julia Coyle said the What's Uni Like? MOOC aims to build students' pre-tertiary achievement levels and explore aspects of the transition to university. "The What's Uni Like? course is accessible, self-paced, and addresses the key areas of academic writing and reading, student expectations, digital literacy, and online learning skills," Professor Coyle said. Project Lead, Mr Josu Abrego-Sanz, said, "The MOOC is being promoted to Australian universities, other higher education providers, and to high schools and TAFEs across the nation with the aim that  it will be used as a resource to broaden participation in Australia's higher education sector." The project was funded by the federal government through its Higher Education Participation and Partnerships Program (HEPPP) to help increase participation in tertiary education by students from low socio-economic status (SES) backgrounds. What's Uni Like? is informed by current research and best practice, and in particular by the national Office for Learning and Teaching-funded project on the Effective Teaching and Support of Students from Low SES Backgrounds. It involves collaborative work with partners in the HEPPP-funded CSU Future Moves program, including government and independent schools and the Department of Education and Communities. What's Uni Like? was also introduced at the recent Students Transitions Achievement Retention and Success (STARS) conference in Melbourne.
