Topics

  • Topic 3: How best to integrate supports into your Moodle shell.

  • Topic 4: How to talk to students about supports.


Introduction

  At TRU, we are so lucky to be supported by an exceptional collection of programs and services geared towards the needs of students. We can support these supportive spaces in turn by normalizing the idea of asking for help and making the use of supports a common part of our conversations about university life. When students hear about support services from a number of different places, they are more likely to know what resources are available when it most matters.

In this module, you will learn about the various services available to students at TRU. You will also learn about why integrating information about those services is an important practice.

Note

What supports are available to OL students versus campus students is not always clear. This resource has been written with on-campus faculty in mind. While OLFMs will find Topics 1, 3, and 4 useful, they should consult with OL’s Learning Strategist to confirm available supports for OL students.
