Scaling student success initiatives, with Studiosity
Since 2017, UOW Dubai has partnered with Studiosity to help support a diverse cohort of students with a variety of educational backgrounds. As a country, the UAE has inhabitants from over 200 nationalities and a variety of languages. It is of critical importance to the University to create a strong culture of learning integrity and values from the first moment students start.
With Studiosity, UOW Dubai are able to deliver scaled, formative feedback for every type of learner. And this support is available after hours, regardless study mode or preference. That level of scaled, foundation-level support drives a culture of positive prevention, when it comes to academic integrity, as Dr Zeenath Reza Khan, an Assistant Professor and Research Integrity Officer at UOW Dubai, as well as President at the Centre for Academic Integrity in the UAE, explains:
"One of the things that we do is reinforce positivity. We're not walking into a classroom thinking, every student is a cheater. We're walking in thinking, wow, every student is going to be a success by the end of this semester."
Since its launch, over 5,000 students have opened accounts, and last year 43% of students with accounts tried it once, 19% of those are repeat users, and 11.5% of that group are regular users, getting feedback 2 or more times.
92% have said they are satisfied or extremely satisfied with the service received. 👍
