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, Measurement Operations, the Learning & Teaching Data Portal, and Data Stewardship.
Applied Research Initiatives – temporary, high-priority projects that examine emerging issues in higher education. These initiatives provide evidence to guide policy, practice, and investments.
Measurement Systems – scalable systems for collecting evidence on student learning experiences. This includes the Course Experience Survey (CES) and other mechanisms that provide learning and teaching data across the university.
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.
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.
