There are great benefits to developing written communication skills, for yourself and students. Learning to write well will save you time and give you a sense of pride, as the provision of accurate and clear information plays a big role in student success.
Thoughtful, structured writing takes practice. But done well, we do more than convey information. We stimulate thinking, encourage effort, modify attitudes and incite action.
Effective student communications
Welcome! You are likely here because you work with students in your role, and are interested in enhancing your writing skills.
Focussing on the way we talk to students is vital for developing and maintaining open and honest relationships. We want to instill a sense of trust, so students have confidence in the accuracy of the information and teachings they receive.
Written communication skills are different from verbal, but just as important and effective. Whether we are writing to students to provide information, or giving feedback on coursework, the way we write has an impact.
The corporate communications team at Navitas is collaborating with academic expertise across our organisation to compile a series of accessible guides to help improve the way we communicate with each other and our students.
Effective student communications provides simple guidance to help you develop your written communications skills, with the goal of enhancing student interaction and achieving more positive outcomes in less time.
