LEARN helps foster more effective and equitable education for all
Student success is greatly impacted by the opportunities students have for mentorship, support and guidance during their educational careers. The impact of differences in such opportunities can be magnified in large courses that have limited space for feedback and personal attention, and may leave students feeling like they are ‘on their own.’ Instructors, teaching assistants and advisors need scalable ways to understand and respond to the support needs of diverse students no matter the size of the cohort.
