Hello CCCU community and friends!<\/p>\n

On the 20th of February, Savannah, Sophie and Gabbie got together to take on the CCCU Applicant Day. We were on a mission: engage with as many people as possible, spread\u00a0the word about our Learning and Teaching\u00a0project<\/a>, and show everyone exactly what\u00a0we can do here at Partners in Learning<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The stage was set.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We had colourful flyers, a pin-board designed by the students outlining the nine key principles<\/em> of the Strategy, an interactive counter poll,\u00a0plenty of sweets\u00a0and chocolate…we even got to wear\u00a0Learning and\u00a0Teaching strategy t-shirts (made by one of our very own team members!).<\/p>\n

We asked the Team members to reflect on their\u00a0time at the Applicant Day.<\/p>\n

We got a lot of positive feedback:<\/p>\n

The applicant day was an amazing experience and a great way to get face to face interactions with people and the poll\/sweets was a great way to get people involved as it was interactive and different from most other stalls that were around us.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…we had a fun and colourful board with the 9 principles of the strategy dotted around it and a Prezi of the strategy playing in the background. Students were very engaged and we received 39+ direct interactions with the poll and 60+ interactions using leaflets.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…all those that interacted asked questions or took leaflets and there was a good amount of time to engage on a more personal level with students.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

As well as some constructive feedback (which we will use to help make the next open day even better):<\/p>\n

I feel like some kind of training would be useful as it was very difficult to explain such a vast strategy in the tiniest amount of time and I feel that this particular Applicant Day was a good way of working out how to do that so that it is easier for everyone else in the future.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Overall, the Applicant Day was a great way to spread the word about our project. It also gave students the opportunity to gain experience in creative collaboration, working within a team environment, communication, organisation and project management.<\/p>\n

Until then,<\/p>\n

Happy learning!<\/p>\n
