Looking forward to dipping into this issue this week. Our work on digital confidence has shown it has links to wellbeing and resilience, and can support learners (students and staff) through digital transformation - we can see the links to this work on compassion and pedagogies of care!

This is a great distillation of what study skills are - it's not always recognised that interpersonal skill development is a vital part of education, and that how to ask for, receive and make the most of help and feedback needs to be taught alongside the content for successful learners.
A1: A wide range of skills to engage with peers, content and tutors. Skills in learning by acquisition, discussion, collaboration, investigation. Essential to complete any learning experience. #LTHEchat
