New Website at Reading

Have you seen the University of Reading's new CEIGHE course website?

The new website will provide you with lots of information on administrative issues, the structure and content of the various modules and about other courses in the new Careers Studies department. There are, as always, small changes and additions in the pipeline but the bulk of the information is there and available to those considering registering and for existing registrants. 

Do you see yourself as a student of the University of Reading?

If you haven't up to now we soon hope you will! All registrants should contact Caroline Guy, the course administrator, to get their Reading university student username and password. This will give you access to the new Blackboard eLearning site where the AGCAS students' Home Area is to be found. Facilities include an area for announcements, a FAQ section, all the forms you are likely to want, as well as the course handbook and a staff/student liaison section. Best of all is an excellent section on Resources for Study including study skills, advice in referencing and how to get access to the electronic journals held by Reading library. 

New eLearning programme

The first of the distance learning modules has been rewritten as an eLearning programme. Graduate Employers and Labour Markets replaces the old Employer Relations distance learning pack. Also housed on the Blackboard site, this new course will be available at both certificate and diploma level. Reports from those already enrolled are very positive and we hope this new way of providing a learning experience will interest, engage and support students. The theories module will hopefully also be available in this format later in 2008.

Support for residential courses

Residential courses will also be supported via Blackboard. This is where you will find your pre-course tasks, reading lists and resources. After the course, the presentations - and even some materials - will be there for you to refer to.

Definitely one for your favourites folder!
