Learning Support

E-resources

Eligible students with difficulties in reading books in hard copy can request for electronic versions, subject to availability.

Note-taking service

In-class note-taking service can be offered to eligible students with difficulties in taking their notes during lectures (e.g. due to hearing impairment). SEN Service has also subscribed Glean, a note-taking software that can improve the note-taking support for student with SEN. The app enables students to capture lecture content, import and integrate lecture slides, add quick labels, notes, and tasks, and convert recorded audio into text. Students with generic needs can contact the SEN Service Manager for registration. Learn more about the app here.
