This on-line learning resource supports students' acquisition of basic academic writing skills. It is intended to be used both as a teaching tool and to be accessed by students out of contact time to reinforce learning.

It also models how to present ideas using appropriate academic language (for example: use of formal English, cautious academic style, signposting and citation).
