There are a number of other useful resources, in addition to the Develop@Derby workshops and guides, to help students build their confidence and improve their academic skills.
YouTube
The library's YouTube channel contains livestreams, extracts from workshops and video interviews with staff and students. Videos on the channel are organized into playlists according to the academic skill they are about; for example referencing, academic writing, Microsoft Office etc. These playlists are also linked to the relevant Develop@Derby guides.
Podcasts
The skills team have developed an extensive suite of podcasts available on all major podcasting sites; they can be found by searching for 'University of Derby skills podcast'. One of our most comprehensive and useful podcast series is called Being Successful as a Student. The Success as a Student Podcast explores how students can develop the key skills for studying at university. The first 13 episodes feature prominent University of Derby Staff highlighting how to develop a key skill (e.g. reflection, critical thinking and perseverance). In addition, the following 10 episodes feature current students and recent graduates reflecting on how they developed their skills whilst at university.
