Abstract

Fostering a sense of becoming to frame student transition through the implementation of an ambitious university-wide Live Briefs programme is the subject of this case study. The model involves the development of assignment briefs created through partnerships with employers and other professionals. The brief sets out a current problem or opportunity based on an actual real-world situation forming a challenge that requires the student to apply relevant knowledge, skills, and professional attitudes. Example briefs are included incorporating feedback from students and employers. The Live Brief scaffolds the individual learner to transition from the singular academic framework through the curriculum and situate themselves in their professional context as they transfer and utilise their knowledge and skills, thereby forming a strong connection between the academic and professional environments.
