AccessHE Online: Keeping Learners Engaged over the Holidays
July 18, 2018
As some of you may have seen, the AccessHE London Uni Connect has gone digital via AccessHE Online, with great success.
The AccessHE London Uni Connect made use of Adventure University, created by Brunel University London and the newest addition to AccessHE Online, to help the learners understand their options for higher education and the variety of potential careers open to them.
An educational alternative to Fortnite?
With the summer break just around the corner, AccessHE Online can be highlighted to learners to keep them engaged with higher education over the holiday. There are a variety of free courses to choose from covering different subject areas and aimed at different age groups:

Staff can get involved too!
Staff in schools and colleges or anyone who delivers to young people can also get involved with the Understanding the University Application Cycle course from Royal Holloway, University of London – a UCAS and Student Finance refresher.
