Example of an Abstract:
How to best support higher education students to learn in 2024
Having spent two years studying in higher education, I have experienced a wide range of learning experiences and assessment tasks. In particular, I have found a number of services that supported my learning journey. In my presentation, I will highlight what support services have helped me to learn and I will also identify further support strategies that will be useful.
