Collaborative course support – Not at all like herding cats

Support for Learning comprises a diverse group of support services across the university including personal counselling, support for students at risk, and language, maths, science, careers, and information literacy assistance. For course coordinators, the process of finding out about Support for Learning services, determining appropriate utilisation of resources and prioritising provision according to student and staff need may feel like herding cats due to the disparate and decentralised nature of the support. The Collaborative Course Support project was initiated by Student Success and Library Services to provide leadership in the provision of support services across the university in a more strategic and streamlined manner.
