ExL@DCU is a comprehensive website of learning resources designed for DCU students to cover all aspects of learning, regardless of stage or programme of study.
A joint development between Student Affairs and The Learning Innovation Unit (LIU), the resources are designed to help you develop good practice and learning habits in pursuing your particular programme of study.

Some of the topics covered are:
  • Identifying and maximising your personal learning style
  • Designing an individual study plan
  • Working effectively in groups
  • Strategies for successful completion of assignments
  • Strategies for successful completion exams.

We suggest that you bookmark this page so that you can refer to it throughout your studies at DCU.

These student resources have been compiled by Dr. Ann Coughlan of the LIU with graphical and web design work completed by Naoise Hayden.
