Student Success are delighted and inordinately proud to announce that the One Hour Degree has won the Guardian University Award 2020 in the Digital Innovation category.
This prestigious accolade is testament to the work of Alison Webb, our Student Success Systems Development Manager, designer and creator of the One Hour Degree¸ and all the staff and students who have contributed to its development.
Commenting on the award, Professor Richard Reece, Kent’s Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Education and Student Experience said: “This is fantastic news and many congratulations to all those involved with this truly innovative project. The global reach of the game has been phenomenal and its impact truly beneficial to both current and prospective students at Kent.”
Alison Webb said: “Not only was this a fantastic collaborative effort between many colleagues and departments, but it also highlighted the importance of speaking to students and gaining their insights on specific university experiences. We also had the benefit of a Work Study student employed on development of the One Hour Degree, who really helped bring it to life. The analytics prove the game has been played far and wide and student feedback has been phenomenally positive.”
