• Infographics or visual summaries 

• Interactive or AI-generated content to support learning and understanding 

• Work collaboratively with staff to ensure content remains accurate, ethical, and aligned with university regulations. 

• Test content with students to check for clarity, relevance, and engagement. 

• Gather and analyse student feedback to refine content and delivery formats. 

• Produce guidance and recommendations on how student-facing policy content could be improved more widely. 

• Present findings and content outputs to stakeholders in a clear and accessible way.
