MLE teaching sessions

MLE session being delivered‌Library specialists can design, develop and deliver an interactive and innovative face-face session within your programme. These sessions are intended to help students understand how the specific skills they need to develop link with the demands and tasks unique to their programme of study.

By talking to your students at key points in the student lifecycle we can help to ensure we provide timely support which matches the learning objectives of your programme.

We recommend the embedded session should ideally be delivered at a programme level and during a timetabled session. Students should be informed by you that they are required to attend the session and we would appreciate it if you could also attend. 

The Library requires at least four weeks' notice to develop the session but will require more time for multi-session delivery or for material we haven't previously developed.
