Internal and national projects
Internally, the EBC works closely with other units within CTL to support an evidence-based approach to developing academic support structures. The EBC also shares information and collaborates with faculties and other support units beyond CTL. In 2019-2020 the EBC collaborated with Academic Advising to conduct a Student Journey Mapping project that will inform a range of practices to better support students. Nationally, the EBC team contributes to work on student success through collaborations with Universities South Africa (USAf) and the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET). In 2020, the EBC unit conducted a national study on behalf of DHET to explore students’ access to and use of learning materials. The study included 24 participating universities and almost 50,000 student responses.
