When recommending KUDOS AD to your learners , there are some things to remember.
If you know that you have learners who are dyslexic, this web site suggests the positives and encourages them to think about their strengths
– Take a look before referring – but the link has been agreed by the British Dyslexic Association
, " I can confirm that the organisation you point out is indeed regularly referenced by many of our users as being a professional, helpful, and an up to date organisation. Their videos, stored under blogs, are extremely well used by the dyslexic community. The organiser of the organisation is also invited to speak at many professional meetings in the dyslexia world
- Feedback
Feedback
Learner Feedback We are interested in your feedback as this ensures that we can continually improve our services. You will, at the end of your course, be asked to complete learner feedback about your experiences whilst learning with us. All feedback is valuable to us, and helps us plan for the future. Annually, our funders ask you for feedback as well. Please take part actively to ensure that the funders are made aware of how you value this service and the impact learning opportunities have on your lives.
Learner Focus Groups are held annually in the summer term. These are held in every centre in small face to face groups. These sessions encourage you to feedback experiences often around a set of themes. Once again, their aim is to identify good practice but also to encourage you to contribute to the continuous improvement of our service.
The Learner Voice publication is available every term and is, as the title suggests, a chance for you to highlight your achievements and experiences whilst learning with us. Please do talk to your tutor and ask about this publication to make sure your voice is being heard.
