Debating helps students become better critical thinkers and empowers them to make informed choices about their future. However, what do you do when no one else in your school is willing to debate? This paper will focus on the successes and challenges of running a series of online sessions for secondary school pupils and practising public speaking in a remote environment.

Brighton and Sussex Medical School (BSMS) have developed a sector-leading virtual work experience (VWEX), attracting over 55,000 users world-wide. It serves as a tool for aspiring medical students to gain insight into a career in medicine and explore the roles of a doctor within various specialities. The COVID-19 pandemic has seen interest rise even further. The VWEX was conceived as a resource targeted to applicants to medicine from disadvantaged backgrounds. It is freely accessible, therefore overcoming potential financial challenges that many students from underrepresented backgrounds face, but also in relation to social capital, which can hinder access to professional networks. The programme introduces the NHS and its structure, showcasing six medical specialties through a variety of interactive elements. Participants are encouraged to submit a piece of reflection to complete the course, and no limitations are set on the form that this reflection must take, leading to creative and effective summaries of the insight gained. Whilst the VWEX has been an overwhelming success thus far, there is room for improvements. Some of these key areas include access to more ringfenced specialities, incorporating more interactive elements, and exploration of the numbers gap between registered users and those who complete the course.

This study examines whether programme engagement and outcomes differ based on the mode of delivery (in person versus online) for a UK-based Widening Participation (WP) programme during the Covid-19 pandemic. In total, 2507 school students attended academic in-person tutorials, and 2505 attended academic tutorials online. The findings show that tutorial attendance did not significantly differ based on the mode of delivery. We also see similar programme outcomes for both in-person and online programmes. However, the completion of the 'baseline assignment' , which was the first piece of work undertaken by students on the programme, was negatively impacted by the online setting (i. e., lower submission rates). This suggests that further considerations are needed to engage students with activities that happen early in the online programme. As part of the study, we also collected feedback from programme staff about their reflections of running a WP programme virtually. Based on these insights, we make suggestions for how WP can best utilise digital forms of delivery in the future.

Articulation from college is an established feature of tertiary education in Scotland and is promoted at policy level as a widening participation objective. In Scotland, 28% of university first-degree entrants enter university from college. Additionally, 42% of university first-degree entrants from the most deprived areas (Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation, Most Deprived quintile) enter via the college route. Building confidence, engagement and belonging in higher education is important for all students but is especially pertinent for students articulating from college who are joining their degree programme in the second or third year of the Scottish four-year honours degree. This means joining an existing cohort of peers with established university knowledge and networks. This paper explores how an on-campus, pre-entry transition programme was re-conceptualised for the online environment to better facilitate an asynchronous mode of learning. Designed to introduce college students with the skills to help them engage and succeed in their degree studies, the programme is targeted at entrants from the 20% most socially deprived areas. By way of evaluation, programme outcomes are mapped to Zepke and Leach's (2010) ten proposals for improving engagement in higher education. Challenges associated with the rapid transformation to an online transition model and how these were addressed are included. The paper offers a student-focused online transition model to manage and support access to engagement in university for college entrants.

Concerns have been expressed about the impact of Covid-19 on the educational ambitions and progression prospects of those from disadvantaged backgrounds. While the pandemic has limited opportunities to conduct research in this area, approaches can be developed that overcome the barriers of conducting fieldwork in person. This article reports on the interim findings from one such study. This sought the views of students on advanced (Level 3) programmes at a further education college with a catchment area comprising a number of low higher education (HE) participation neighbourhoods. While lockdown had presented challenges for participants in engaging with their education and in planning for their next steps, all expressed a determination to succeed and achieve their ambitions. The article concludes by suggesting a key role for outreach in helping these students realise their post-college goals.

Effective support during transition into higher education (HE) can be crucial, especially for traditionally under-represented student groups. Student feedback that the traditional 'welcome week' can be overwhelming due to the quantity and speed of information imparted, coupled with the request for increased support for non-academic skills, led to the development of the 'Skills for Success' (SfS) extended transition support unit. Co-devised with the student body and delivered by a range of academic, clinical and professional support staff, SfS was highly regarded by students, with particular impact reported on mental health and motivation to achieve. Following the introduction of SfS, attainment differences were closed or reversed, in the academic module within which the unit was embedded, for students who were mature, reported a mental health condition, or were from Black, Asian or minority ethnic (BAME) backgrounds. Independent evaluation revealed the initiative had raised awareness of how to access support services and almost half the participants had shared aspects of the learning with peers outside of the cohort. Overall, the success of SfS suggests that an extended package of integrated, holistic support can ease transition into HE and may improve the attainment of students from under-represented groups.

This article explores the potential of an arts-based, participatory method called photo-elicitation (PE) as a tool for evaluating widening participation (WP) initiatives with young people. Though past studies have highlighted the potential of PE for evaluating WP interventions to date, it has rarely been used for such purposes and there is limited guidance available on how to employ this approach, which can prevent others in the field from using it. This paper provides such guidance, presenting an example project to illustrate how a PE approach was used to evaluate a pre-16 WP programme. Specifically, the example project involved using an 'auto-driven' PE method, whereby school pupils took photographs of their views/experiences before and after taking part in the WP programme, which were then explored via semi-structured interviews. The article discusses practical and ethical challenges that may arise when using PE, but also the deep and meaningful insights that may be gained by enabling young people to articulate themselves in different ways. As methods are sought to evaluate WP activities in the post-pandemic world, arts-based methods, such as PE, could allow for a more nuanced understanding of young people's views, which can be achieved whil e supporting students remotely.

Student mental health is of critical concern in higher education, with increasing numbers of students needing support. It is crucial for higher education providers to develop preventive strategies that will ensure students ' mental health and academic success not only are maintained, but improved, through university and beyond. This paper reports on a UK study that aimed to embed mental wellbeing and resilience skills within the neuroscience curriculum using a 'curriculum infusion' approach. A programme was designed that included a series of 'neurobiology of resilience' workshops and reflective activities within compulsory modules. Students were surveyed at the end of the semester using the Resilience Scale for Young Adults, as well as questions on lifestyle and growth mindset. Additionally, thematic analysis was carried out on extenuating circumstances (EC) claims placed to identify changes in the number of mental health-related concerns. It is perceived that this approach might be of particular benefit for 'non - traditional' or 'widening participation' students, and students from minorities or disadvantaged groups, as part of strengthening their internal locus of control. The study compared results from a cohort receiving the intervention (N=42) with results from a previous cohort who did not (N=28). It found that students receiving the workshops showed significantly higher mental resilience in terms of optimism, adaptability and a decrease in emotional reactivity. This was accompanied by a lower proportion of mental health-related ECs submitted.
随着越来越多的学生需要支持，学生的心理健康是高等教育的关键问题。对于高等教育提供者来说，制定预防策略是至关重要的，这将确保学生的心理健康和学业成功不仅得到维持，而且在大学及以后得到改善。本文报道了英国的一项研究，该研究旨在使用“课程注入”方法将心理健康和恢复能力嵌入神经科学课程。设计了一个方案，其中包括一系列“弹性神经生物学”讲习班和必修模块中的反思活动。学期结束时，学生们接受了年轻人弹性量表(Resilience Scale for Young Adults)以及生活方式和成长心态方面的调查。此外，还对情有可原的情况下提出的索赔进行了专题分析，以确定与心理健康有关的问题数量的变化。人们认为，这种方法可能对“非传统”或“扩大参与”的学生以及少数民族或弱势群体的学生特别有益，因为这是加强他们内部控制点的一部分。该研究比较了接受干预的队列(N=42)和之前未接受干预的队列(N=28)的结果。研究发现，接受培训的学生在乐观、适应能力和情绪反应方面表现出明显更高的心理弹性。与此同时，提交的与精神健康有关的ECs比例较低。

A review of the peer-reviewed literature relating to the education of children from armed forces families (service children) is presented. In England, service children have been identified by the Office for Students as an under-represented group in higher education. However, their educational journeys through compulsory education and towards higher education are relatively under-researched. Exploring literature from countries with similar educational, linguistic and armed forces cultures enables opportunities for researchers in the United Kingdom to be highlighted. The review identified a general lack of peerreviewed research into educational outcomes for service children, a lack of consensus on the impact of service life on children, and a tendency to focus on the barriers and challenges arising through service life.

Curriculum development is at the heart of progressive education and is key to the success of learners, but is often difficult to conceptualise. In this paper, elements of storytelling – specifically that of character, setting and the 'problem' – are mapped across curriculum development with clear regard to equality, diversity and inclusion, which are at the heart of modern curriculum developmental investigation. Although written with an arts educational focus in mind, the conceptual ideas are applicable to all areas of education. It is argued that by using this model, which gives integral regard to equality, diversity and inclusion, the experience of the learner(s) and the pace of change, improvement and faculty goodwill is enhanced.
