Elegantly defined by the UCLA Centre for Mental Health in Schools and Student/Learning Supports, “Learning supports are the resources, strategies, and practices that provide physical, social, emotional, and intellectual supports intended to enable all pupils to have an equal opportunity for success at school by addressing barriers to and promoting engagement in learning and teaching.”
Online learning support platforms, like IvyOnline by Boston City Campus, is an invaluable tool to help students overcome the barriers created by COVID and achieve success. Boasting a track record of over thirty years in online education, IvyOnline provides a virtual infrastructure for students, parents, and teachers where physical, social, emotional, and intellectual supports can intersect.

With on-demand CAPS curriculum video lectures, students can repeat lessons as often as they need. Digitized e-books mean that they can never go on holiday and forget their book at home, as long as they can access the IvyOnline portal. And engaging gamification enhances the learner’s abilities to internalise and recall information.
Diagnostics for grades 8 to 12 provide deeper insights into the learning journey, and tools to track and improve performance let parents know when their child is at risk and may need some extra support. Report features also allow detailed overviews of the student’s learning journey to keep parents and teachers in the loop.
