The CAVA Teaching and Learning Resource Library

 To support our aim in offering a full package of support for our Access to HE providers, CAVA is pleased to share that we are creating a Resource Library in 2024-25. The library aims to support the creation of content for Access to HE Diplomas, and the use of resources for online delivery.


The library will house resources used by our providers to support teaching and learning. Resources include but are not limited to:



From May 2024, providers will be encouraged to share their delivery and assessment resources.


We aim to populate the Library by the end of the Summer term and launch the Library for use at the beginning of the 2024-25 academic year. We hope it will become a useful resource for those involved in programme delivery and design.


We will share more information about the Teaching and Learning Resource Library at our upcoming events and in future newsletters. In the meantime, if you would like to share your resources, or if you have any questions about this new resource, please get in touch.
