Thinking & Writing: transforming access, attainment and outcomes

Inclusive, accessible and affordable

Thinking & Writing is designed inclusively to develop crucial thinking and writing skills across the undergraduate and postgraduate spectrum. (It is also ideal for foundation year, pre-sessional and international students). Site licences are affordable within discretionary budgets.

Diversifying flexible teaching and learning

Thinking & Writing diversifies active learning activities with asynchronous, scaffolded stages and lessons. Delivery can be co-curricular or embedded in teaching. No work loading is required and student engagement can be monitored.

Impacting access, attainment and outcomes

Thinking & Writing is inclusively designed and accessible to students from all backgrounds. It actively responds to equality, diversity and inclusivity imperatives and access, attainment and outcome initiatives.

Boosting student experience, satisfaction and success

Thinking & Writing boosts confidence as well as employability and essential life skills, regardless of socioeconomic background. It can mitigate dropout rates and help compensate for the effects of Covid-19 on sixth-form and undergraduate education.

Embedding employability in curricula

Thinking & Writing develops the transferable thinking, writing, critical, research and collaborative skills so valued by employers – as well as in education. It boosts attainment and confidence, and helps graduates stand out in the fast evolving AI and post-pandemic world of work.

Simple to deploy

Thinking & Writing can be deployed easily by Digital, Careers and Teaching and Learning professionals, as well as by academics.
