Challenge of multi-disciplinary reading Significant source of stress and anxiety for students on arrival § Wide range of paper structures, academic language and writing styles § Reading every word is time consuming § Uncertainty of purpose of the reading - what should I be looking for, why has it been included?

Making the transition Ouce_BCM 3_Conservation. Governance Adopt ORLO nomenclature Standard structure and principles of what ‘qualifies’ a reading to go in each § Lift & Shift’ old print reading lists by trained assistants § Lunch time workshop for module leaders – train in basics of Tallis and generate buy-in for the project § Transfer L&S lists to RL ‘owners’ § Follow-up support § Developing a ‘Protocols’ document as we go along § Roles and responsibilities § Nomenclature & structure § Workflow

Pedagogic improvements: lists to curated collections § The note function enables me to provide a steer on how to approach the reading, to make Why its on the list Relationship with connections with previous or up other classes and modules -coming classes & put the Who is the author paper/author in context § Doing this keeps me closer to the readings I set and my How to approach the reading lecturing § The bookmarks tool makes it easy to adjust reading lists as I go along.
