Why is StREAM use important?

Why is StREAM use important?

Research shows that if a student is more engaged with their course, then they are typically more likely to progress in their studies. As such, TU encourages our students to interact with the StREAM platform, to see how their engagement fares and if they are more likely to need support at certain times in their studies.
If you spot a dip in a student’s engagement and you feel that the student needs support, you can refer them to the required service using StREAM. Students have access to their StREAM dashboard so they will be able to see the progress of this referral too.
