An important factor for study success is reflection on one’s own study career. We encourage this right from the start during the Freshers’ Days, but we can take further steps to extend this to the subsequent months. To encourage and, where necessary, support students in their academic self-reflection, we will inspire programmes via KU Leuven Learning Lab to embed (feasible and scalable) feedback in the first year of the Bachelor’s programme, with or without technological tools such as Feedback Fruits, Ans or GenAI and learning analytics. We will provide additional support to our students through study skills modules and the Progress Dashboard, which gives them greater insight into and ownership of their study career. We will pay particular attention to how students with socio-cultural diversity characteristics can use it. We must fully roll out the recently launched KU Leuven Learning Lab network for student counsellors: it offers new opportunities for further innovation, professionalisation and expertise in student counselling.
