Having a module aim helps relate the topic to the whole. Clear module aims are really useful in helping to select content. This seminar will introduce the concept of thoughtlines and how module aims can be used to remind students of the aim(s) and how material is related to the aim.

"The Transitions at MTU Fund is a funding stream available from AnSEO - The Student Engagement Office which can be accessed each year through the Teaching & Learning Unit (TLU) and AnSEO's Combined Funding Call. Transitions at MTU is designed to support staff to support students through projects that impact on all aspects of transitions at MTU, focusing on 3 main areas as follows: Transitions into MTU: helping 1st year students adjust both socially and academically into Higher Education Transitions through MTU: settling into 2nd, 3rd or final year of studies helping students leaving on, or returning from, work placement support students adjusting from employment into full-time or part-time study Transitions out of MTU: Aimed at students progressing from undergraduate to postgraduate study. In this session, we learned more about Transitions at MTU and heard from colleagues who have received funding in the past. Get inspiration from their experiences of how a small amount of seed funding, up to €2000, can expand reach and impact to enhance student engagement and improve the student experience, and how often the simplest projects can be the most effective."
