Synopsis
What is it?
- An additional section on the current ASO website for 20-minute vlogs made by UNE students.
- These are supported by 20 second comic teasers which appear on a variety of UNE social media platforms.
- A UNEasy host supports each student, “appearing” alongside them in their homes as an AVATAR.

Who developed the pilot?
This concept is the work of:
- Mr Mark Graham, MEC candidate and PASS@UNE ECON101 leader
- Dr. Huifang Li, Une Lecturer, Academic Skills
Why is it needed?
- We need to use a variety of approaches to reach students with study advice and help.
- It is motivating for students to hear from their peers.
- Provides a fast response to technological change.
How can it be made sustainable?
- 15 hours paid time per month for the UNEasy host to collaborate with one student volunteer per month in the production of each video and teaser.
- Support is provided by the university for final editing, mastering and promotion.
- UNE student clubs and societies tender for the contract on a yearly basis. They produce the videos and choose the host and the AVATAR.
Mr Mark Graham, Dr Huifang Li
