Welcome to LEAP
The Learning Experiences Assessment and Planning unit works within the portfolio of the Vice-Provost and Associate Vice-President, Learning and Teaching (AVPLT). We conduct applied research and build measurement systems that inform policy, practice, and educational delivery across SFU. Our works spans four pillars: Applied Research Initiatives, the Course Experience Survey, the Learning & Teaching Data Portal, and Data Stewardship.
1. Applied Research Initiatives – temporary, high-priority projects that examine emerging issues in higher education. These initiatives provide evidence to guide policy, practice, and investments.
2. Course Experience Survey – SFU's university-wide survey that is sent to every student at the end of their courses each term so that they can give feedback on their experiences with learning and teaching.
3. Learning & Teaching Data Portal – a growing access point for reporting environments, dashboards, and visualizations. The Portal connects operational data with analysis to supports reflection, planning, and policy development.
4. Data Stewardship - LEAP represents Learning and Teaching data on SFU's Data Governance Council. We are working to make this data more accessible to those who need it while respecting the principles of privacy and security.
