AMU1018 Learning in higher education

This unit is designed to introduce students to the fundamentals of quantitative capabilities and digital literacies required for academic study in their degree courses. The ability to source, evaluate, interpret and represent data using digital resources and toolsets is important in both academic and professional contexts. These capabilities will be explored through discussion and practice. Students will engage with a variety of discipline specific resources to extend their understanding of key quantitative concepts and develop fundamental digital literacy skills. The unit focuses on the development of analysis and visual representation of data in discipline-specific contexts. Development of the ability to collect, validate, evaluate, analyse and communicate quantitative information and data using digital toolsets where appropriate, are core to this unit.
