Learn : Loughborough University Virtual Learning Environment

This course will help you gain the numeracy skills needed to succeed in both employers’ numeracy tests and the workplace. It is designed to build your confidence.

In addition to refreshing your understanding of specific numeracy skills (such as percentages, ratios, averages and currency conversions), you will develop essential skills for interpreting numerical data and understanding statistics.

The course will develop your skills through a carefully paced, step-by-step introduction to relevant topics with opportunities to check your understanding through quizzes. There will be feedback at every stage.

Student Records & Operations

• Theme 1 ‘Doctoral supervision at Loughborough University’: Everyone
• Theme 2 ‘Recruitment and selection’: Katryna (seeking Doctoral College Registry input this week)
• Theme 3 ‘Thriving researcher culture and environment’: Laura, Alun De Winter, Victoria (NB: It might be worth reconnecting with content from ‘Fundamentals of PhD Supervision’, ‘Building Effective Supervisory Relationships’, and ‘Getting the Most Out of Doctoral Supervision’ before the meeting to see if any existing content can be repurposed.)
• Theme 4 ‘Mechanics of doctoral supervision’ Sarah B and  Caroline – Your experiences as doctoral researchers and the DR sessions you led on will be really helpful for this theme.
• Theme 5 ‘Enhancing and development of practice’: Sammy and Sarah T – This theme is all about CDP, and it might be that the some of the PGCert content can be recontextualized with a doctoral supervisory lens.

Unconscious Bias Training (UBT) is designed to help individuals recognise and address hidden biases that influence everyday decisions and interactions. These unconscious biases are natural human tendencies, but they can negatively impact workplace dynamics, leading to unfair treatment and inclusivity. UBT introduces participants to various types of biases, such as affinity bias, perception bias, confirmation bias and the halo effect, while also offering practical tools to mitigate their effects. By promoting awareness and self-reflection, UBT aims to create a fairer, more diverse, and inclusive environment.
