title: Transition into University - Fashion SOC - Case Study

subject: Education

description: Currently the 14-17 year old age group is engaged at school in a 'narrative' to learning where as university follows a more independent, analytical approach (Marland, 2003). Fostering this change is problematic. There is also a requirement to understand the need for a relationship between the students and the culture of the programme they enter whilst increasing a sense of identity related to this (Ulriksen Madsen & Holmegaard, 2010). However the key to all of these are that successful transition requires both social and academic support (Chambers et. al., (2002); Cohen et. al., (2012)). From this background the aim of the project was established: to develop a short on-line course (SOC) for pre enrolment students to assist in their decision making of choosing their course in Higher education. In addition to this aim there are several key themes that required deeper exploration in order to information appropriate depth and knowledge to the project including: understanding the target audience (14-17 year olds) and their behaviours on-line; developing 'snackable' content in an appropriate language; evaluation of the success of the SOC and its positioning as part of the students transition into higher education.
