Active Blended & Connected
ABC Learning Design Introduction
The ABC Learning Design Model is made up of 6 different learning types which can be used in a variety of ways. Mix and match to create the perfect lesson.
Take a look to see what activities could fit into each different type - Both conventional activities or those which have a digital focus.
A course to help you apply this vision to your course; thinking about how you will blend online and on-campus content and activities and how you can use Canvas as your hub for learning and teaching.
City Student Journey
Students can be confident of a high quality, engaging, and inclusive experience.
There will be opportunities to develop life skills, build relationships that foster a sense of belonging, and to take those next steps into industry, work or further study.
Throughout the Student Journey, we continue to engage and support our students to ensure they get the right help at the right time. From application to graduation, the welfare, well-being and future success of the City Student is our focus.
This Strategy, which was informed by students, sets out a commitment to be a college where individual needs are anticipated at every step of the student journey, and are met in a proactive and purposeful way.
Students attending City of Glasgow College will gain much more than qualifications and technical skills. Students will develop a whole series of personal skills and attributes - building up soft skills, interpersonal skills, career management skills, and all the attributes that are reflective of the City of Glasgow College experience that students can articulate and employers recognise.
