Post-Secondary Success: Navigating the Transition
Summary
The first year of post-secondary can be challenging enough, but for students with learning disabilities (LD) and ADHD there can be unexpected challenges. To help with the transition, we are looking for students in Grade 11, 12, or first-year undergraduate studies to complete a game tutorial on preparing for post-secondary. The tutorial was developed by researchers at the University of Calgary and the University of Manitoba. The course contains six game chapters that contain important information about being a successful student in post-secondary (e.g. what your diagnosis means, how to access accommodations and supports, time management, budgeting, coping with stress).
We want to make this tutorial accessible to all high school students in Alberta. Before we do that, we want to know if it is effective. We are looking for your feedback on the design and content of the modules. We will use your feedback to make improvements to the tutorial.
