Building Learning Skills is a project whose broad goal is to design and develop instructional materials aimed at assisting students at the post-secondary and higher education levels to develop the skills deemed necessary for successful learning. The project leader is of the view that many students at these levels may lack the foundational skills required to support meaningful learning in their various areas of study. The project leader also subscribes to the view that institutional goals should not be restricted to meeting the demands of formal study programmes but should also aim to equip students with the “academic abilities, transferable skills, personal and professional qualities” that will enable them “to take on positive roles in society …” (UWI, 2012, p. 47).

In this regard, Building Learning Skills will seek to address two broad skill areas namely intellectual skills and learning-management skills.
