Student Learning Development
HEDC Student Learning Development provides free academic development to students studying at the University of Otago.
Workshops
Our workshops are great for finding out what is expected of you at all levels of university study. These workshops are interactive, informal sessions, which are designed to help you discover new techniques and skills to support your study.
Whether you are an undergraduate or postgraduate student studying on campus or at a distance, we have a wide range of workshops on offer. If you are a distance student and a workshop is not offered via Zoom, you are welcome to make a one-to-one appointment with the workshop facilitator. Email hedc.studentlearning@otago.ac.nz for details.
