Academic Collaborations

The Learning Centre works in close partnership with lecturers and academic staff to support student learning across both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes at James Cook University in Singapore.

Our workshops and learning support sessions are co-designed with academics and tailored to specific subjects and assessments, ensuring direct relevance to students’ immediate learning needs. A key focus of our work is the development of academic literacies, alongside strengthening students’ cognitive and metacognitive capabilities—supporting them not only in what to learn but also in how to think, learn, and apply knowledge effectively.

Beyond student-facing support, the Learning Centre also collaborates with academic staff to:

  • Develop learning resources and toolkits that enhance academic literacies and support student engagement
  • Identify areas for improvement within subjects or courses based on student performance and learning needs
  • Strengthen teaching practices and pedagogy that promote academic literacies, higher-order thinking, reflection, and independent learning, including approaches that make thinking and learning visible
  • Provide advisory in aligning assessment tasks with learning outcomes, assessment criteria, and disciplinary expectations, while supporting the clear unpacking of assessment requirements to enable students to progressively and meaningfully demonstrate their learning.

Through this collaborative, embedded approach, we ensure that academic skills development is directly aligned with course expectations and disciplinary standards, enabling students to build strong foundations in academic literacies, develop critical thinking and metacognitive awareness, and apply their learning with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
