Resource Bookshelf

Welcome to the LSAC resources pages, created for all LSAC members!

Perhaps you are a manager who would like to support your staff as they broaden their professional knowledge. Perhaps you are developing asynchronous or course-embedded content for students or faculty to use. Perhaps you are collecting training material for peer helpers you supervise, or perhaps you are seeking a resource on a particular topic to share with a student you’re helping. We hope you find what you need in the sections below!

These resources were suggested by LSAC members and curated by a team of dedicated volunteers. If you know of a resource that you think should be added to this collection, please contact webmaster@learningspecialists.ca. We are always interested in adding new resources for our members to use.
