Transferable Academic Skills Kit is a flexible learning resource that has been carefully designed to develop the key transferable skills that promote students' success in university and college study. Whether you are a student of an instructor, TASK provides a tried and tested teaching and learning tool suitable for a broad range of academic disciplines. A series of supported exercises relates theory to practice and provides students with the tools to develop a framework of skills that can then be used in a wide range of contexts both inside and outside the academic world. TASK can be followed as a complete program of study, or individual modules can be selected to address specific needs. Created by members of the academic staff at the University of Reading, TASK forms a part of the university's skills provision for home and international students at all levels.

The modules are organized as follows: 1: Key Foundation Skills 2: Academic Culture 3: Participating in Seminars 4: Teamworking 5: Problem Solving 6: Critical Thinking 7: Introduction to IT Skills 8: Essay Writing 9: Scientific Writing 10: Research and Referencing 11: Presentations 12: Exam Technique.
