The Assignment Toolkit is best utilised as an embedded tool to assist lecturers in guiding students through the elements of planning and completing an academic assignment in their particular subject. The modules may be taken together or individually from any device or location with an internet connection. The modules in order are: 1.Getting to know your library, 2.Critical Thinking Skills, 3.Misinformation and News Media, 4.Effective Searching, 5.Completing Assignments: Reading and Planning, 6.Plagiarism, 7.Completing Assignments: Writing, 8.Referencing. In keeping with with the open access credentials present throughout the SATLE funding (2019) submission for the project, the toolkit OER is also available as a set of SCORM files to enable other institutions to add their own visuals and content to the resource to make it a bespoke experience for their student body.

What does success look like as a student?

In this short film, students in higher education across Ireland reflect on confidence, perseverance, first-time experiences, learning, and the small moments that can make a big difference.

The student voices featured here were gathered through the HEA Student Success Survey and Focus Groups in 2025 and are shared in their own words.

The animations are creative interpretations of those reflections, imagined and produced by second-year Animation students at Dún Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design and Technology (IADT).

From communicating in a second language to returning to education as a mature student, overcoming anxiety, and simply choosing not to quit, these stories explore the many ways success can be experienced.

Even small moments in college can be a success. What are yours?
