This module provides a better understanding of the Higher National Next Generation (NextGen: HN) programme of work and its purpose. It also provides an overview of how and why we established the programme, its current progress and a timeline of future work.
These courses provide guidance and activities for NextGen: HN learners to better understand and engage with the process of meta-skill development. They can be used either as stand-alone modules for learners to engage with, as they see fit, or can be incorporated as part of teaching and learning activities within NextGen: HN courses.
This course will support you to plan and reflect on your meta-skills development and record how your confidence grows with meta-skills over time.
