More than 1,100 topics across 10 comprehensive modules, this digital resource provides a flexible and engaging learning journey through interactive scenarios, self-assessments, downloadable exercises, videos, and more.

Academic Writing Module: This module focused on academic writing is designed to give you the relevant skills needed for your academic essay writing in college and university. With this in mind, the module will delve deeper into more than just ’the academic essay’, and provide you with information on the various types of academic writing that you might find yourself exposed to (e.g., a research paper, a reflective essay).
Academic Integrity and Referencing Module: Academic integrity and referencing are essential skills for all students. College-level work now requires students not only to understand academic work but also that they independently demonstrate that understanding. When used correctly, these skills aid in learning and protect students from misconduct violations and threats to privacy and security.
Research Skills Module: In this Module you will feed your curiosity by learning to use research approaches and methods that will take you beyond the obvious and taken-for-granted views about the world to find evidence to support or refute assumptions.
