- AnthonyWhat is Springboard?Explain how Springboard came about and that tutors wanted to book a ‘Springboard’ as they were not overly concerned in breaking study skills down.We ended up with a package of:Academic writingInformation search and retrieval, using e-journalsHarvard referencingWhat tutors asked for is ‘Essay writing, using resources and referencing’. We developed Springboard in response to tutor demand, but also tucked our own e-resources agenda (information literacy by the back door)This became really popular. Staff and students saw results and confidence straight away. Springboard had become a college wide brand. Initially developed for HE students, but then soon adapted for level 3 students. Just add a different filling!A totally flexible deliveryOne to one (always offered but now branded)Small groupsTutor requestedStudent requested
