Studiosity<\/strong><\/p>\n
If you want in-depth feedback on an assignment, check out Studiosity<\/a>. It\u2019s an online service that can be accessed 27\/7 for assignment writing, referencing, and study help. They have a writing feedback option where you can upload assignments to get constructive, confidential feedback on areas to improve your writing. Alternatively, they have a live one-on-one chat service that allows you to get quick help across a range of topics and subjects.<\/p>\n
Studiosity can be accessed through Blackboard by clicking on the Students<\/em> menu at the top of the page. The link can be found under the Library Resources <\/em>section.<\/p>\n
UniSkills<\/strong><\/p>\n
If you haven\u2019t checked out UniSkills<\/a> yet, I highly recommend you do so! This website has been designed to help you improve your academic and study skills. There are modules on how to tackle assignments and study tips, as well as numeracy and digital skills. Want to learn how to use EndNote<\/a>? There are modules for that too! Personally, I like using this to check my referencing<\/a> when working on assignments.<\/p>\n
Workshops<\/strong><\/p>\n
The Library runs many different workshops throughout the semester. Most of these run online so you can join in from the comfort of home. Workshops cover a variety of topics including EndNote, referencing, research, writing and study skills. Check out the upcoming workshops calendar<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n
23 Things<\/strong><\/p>\n
Check out 23 Things<\/a> if you need a break from study. The digital skills program runs online and will develop your skills in areas including basic coding, video editing, data visualisation and game making. And it even counts towards your Curtin Extra certificate! Check out the website<\/a> for a full list of \u2018Things\u2019 and to get started.<\/p>\n
