Dear Academic colleagues,
I would like to take this opportunity to remind you of the resources and services available through Library Study Smart to help support your students with their online learning.
Study Smart can help your students improve their academic writing, assignment research skills, referencing knowledge and assist them in developing the key skills required for successful academic study, including academic integrity. It’s free to all Western University and College students and accessible online.
Here are three ways your students can improve their assignments with Library Study Smart:
1. Study Smart online, powered by Studiosity
----------------------------------------------------
Students can log in from their vUWS dashboard to:
* upload their assignment draft 24/7 to get writing feedback;
* chat online with a Studiosity Online Tutor for subject specific advice in science, commerce, English, maths, statistics, economics and accounting.
2. Study Smart Zoom
-------------------------
Students can have a one-to-one Zoom session and receive:
* assignment writing feedback from a Study Smart Officer;
* academic skills development guidance from a Study Smart Advisor;
* referencing and citation advice from a Study Smart Librarian;
* maths and stats help from a MESH Advisor.
3. Study Smart website
---------------------------
Students can access a range of self-help assignment resources and study guides from the Study Smart website.
Don’t forget, Academic staff can also:
==============================
* refer students in need of more intensive writing and study assistance to the Academic Skills Development Program;
* download presentation slides about Library Study Smart to include in your online teaching sessions from the Study Smart website;
* contact your School Librarian for more information.
