The Learning Hub
The SLU Learning Hub is a resource for both SLU students and faculty. Students report a high level of satisfaction with the Learning Hub’s services, and this sentiment is reflected in widespread usage: each year, nearly half of all students use the Learning Hub at least once. The Learning Hub offers the following support for students and faculty:
Students
- Make one-to-one appointments to meet with a writing consultant or QR Fellow.
- Participate in How-To Workshops covering a range of writing topics.
- Request written feedback on a writing project from a professional writing consultant.
Faculty
- Explore resources for teaching writing at SLU.
Best Practices for Faculty
- Include our language about the Learning Hub in your syllabus (find link here)
Referring Students
- Encourage all students to take advantage of the opportunity to receive professional support and feedback on their work.
- When referring an individual student, contact the student’s advisor.
- Refrain from sharing a student’s work with the Learning Hub or copying the Learning Hub on an email to a student.
You might also consider:
- Requiring students to sign up for a Learning Hub account at the beginning of the semester.
- If you have a class of eight or fewer students, requiring students to make one or more Learning Hub appointments each semester. (Here is an example of asyllabus that included such a requirement.)
