Summary

Introduction

As a part of the Centre for Research Informed Teaching (CRIT), Skills for Learning hosted the sigma network event on the theme of ‘Maths Support through Embedded Classes’ at London South Bank University. Mathematics and statistics support centres in many universities are actively developing learning programmes that go beyond the traditional drop-in or one-to-one formats. They closely collaborate with faculties and departments to put in place ‘embedded’ support to meet the needs of specific courses and to reach larger groups of students. Both keynote speakers Professor Jon Warwick, from the Business School and Dr Lesley Roberts, Head of Skills for Learning, commented how maths support went through various stages and exposed the experience of embedded classes at LSBU. Participants were pleased to share their respective experiences on support provision through an embedded approach
