Advising students at scale: Using single-sourcing to advise a large cohort of postgraduate students on their final project

Maintaining high quality teaching and learning materials becomes even more relevant in times of increasing student to staff ratios. Instructors rely on their institution's Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) to distribute materials and, as a result, often have to prepare materials in a word processor before copying content selectively into the VLE. This process makes regular updates of teaching materials time-consuming. In the following, I describe a technical feasibility study where singlesourcing was applied to this problem.
