Experiences of using the HLM with practitioners and learners
Staff feedback Easy to use Promotes reflection Provides structured view of practice Increased awareness of learner’s role Clearly articulates expectations for learner
“Looking at the learner perspective with fresh eyes”
“I tend to underestimate the learner’s efforts”

Assisting students to adapt to new learning situations by clarifying expectations and processes
Assisting students to understand role of support services (e.g., Library) in the context of the above activities

Staff Comments (Study 1)
“This is invaluable for year 1 transition students”
“They now demonstrate a greater understanding of what is expected of them”
![Page 20: Using models of learning practice to assist students in transition](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061305/549a5d29b479594e738b476b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Assisting students to understand role of support services (Library Pilot) Use generic examples of learning scenarios to
highlight the role of key information skills and library tools and support services
Benefits: Provides a learning perspective interface to the
Library website and services Disseminates examples of effective learning practices
to Year 1 students

Assisting students to understand role of support services (Library Pilot)
Pilot work commenced with Library (April 2009) Consultation meeting with Librarians (May 2009) Modelled activities completed end of June CIES will support and facilitate, including train
the trainer Introduced Semester 1, 2009/2010

ConclusionHLM provides a mechanism to: Ease transition Introduce the HE learning process Provide a simple, effective means to support Year 1 Communicate roles and expectations in a scaffolded way Promote and support learners engaging in independent learning Support learners to adapt/participate in new learning scenarios Assist staff to better introduce learning scenarios Encourage learner-centred practice Encourage conversation about the learning process
