Events

University students are frequently recommended to make use of additional learning support resources, for example, in their PELA results or assignment feedback. However, many students fail to act or seek support. In this session, we will discuss the barriers and enablers to student uptake of support and what institutions can do to remove those barriers and promote the enablers. This includes both barriers for the student (e.g. competing priorities, misinformation) and institutional barriers (e.g. policy, resources, staff attitudes).
