Extended Learner Support Resources

Being a learner goes beyond just the classroom. For the best possible outcomes it is necessary to provide students with the proper outlets to find the resources they need. Clemson University has resources on every front that support students in every dimension of their lives.

Below is a list of resources to include in your Canvas course site. In addition to placing these in the syllabus, create a page with brief descriptions of these resources and a link to the web pages where they can get the help they need. Slot this page into a Start Here module in your Canvas site so learners can quickly find the help they need.

The Faculty Resource Center page, resources to share with your students, is a fantastic place to check out after reviewing the types of resources you should consider having for your learners.
