In2Uni is an innovative community engagement project that seeks to raise the profile of tertiary education within selected local high schools in the Illawarra South East Region. It partners later year Journalism students from Faculty of Creative Arts with student cohorts from Years 7 – 12. Our students mentor the high school students and do a special project with them as part of this. There were visits to each of the schools back in March, and since then each cohort are beavering away on their projects – which vary depending on the age of the students. The blogs are private to each group, so we can’t show you inside, but here’s a snapshot of their usage. Thanks to Tara Loty (Co-ordinator) for agreeing to share these statistics on the number of new posts and comments per blog over the last few months.
