LEAP Online is an online skills portal designed to support students on their university journey, both academically and from a personal development perspective. It was launched in September 2017 and is based on a new Learning Development Framework (LDF) developed by the Director of Student Life and the eResources Librarian. The LDF represents a new learning development strategy aiming to ensure that the University’s skills offering is comprehensive and co-ordinated. It demonstrates a holistic approach, recognising four key areas relating to the acquisition of skills, knowledge and experience: academic development; personal development; digital literacy and student engagement.
The framework was informed by contributions from Academic Staff, Careers, Student Experience and the Students Union.
