LEAP is our student-centred personalised engagement tool, that displays student engagement with Moodle, FASER, Listen Again, the Library, University computers and attendance.
LEAP displays a holistic view of your students’ studying experience, to help you identify and support them more effectively. LEAP also provides students with the opportunity to take control of their own learning and make more informed choices about their studies.

Studies show that the more engaged a student is with their studies the more likely they are to achieve their academic goals1. Research suggests that showing student their own data, as LEAP does, can provide them with the opportunity to take control of their learning, give them a better idea of their current engagement in real-time and help them make informed choices about their studies2.
Our hope is that LEAP will empower students to become a more effective independent learner. Whilst providing you with clearer information to help you gauge and support engagement and academic progress of students.
