Boost Student Wellbeing | Mental Health Workshop for Students

Boost Student Wellbeing

Mental Health, Digital Wellness and 

Stress Management Workshop



The State of Student Mental Health in
South Africa

The pandemic has been around for over two years now and has caused a tremendous rise in mental health issues. Along with the regular pressures that come with studying, students now have the added stress of coping with new ways of learning. And in many cases, their study or home environments are not ideal either.

A recent study showed that 65.2% of students felt that the pandemic has restricted their emotional functioning, 45.6% reported subjective experiences of anxiety and 35% reportedly experienced bouts of depression.  Overall, 10.3% have considered suicide or engaged in self-harming behaviour, while 5.3% noted suicidal ideation (Visser and Law-van Wyk, 2021).

The key factors that contribute to these feelings were identified as academic concerns, social distance, isolation and coping skill.

Addressing These Challenges

According to Visser and Law-van Wyk (2021), universities should give special attention and support to high-risk undergraduate students.  Holmes et al. (2020) and Marques et al. (2020) highlight the growth of mental health needs since the COVID-19 crisis and indicated that proactive steps must be taken to ‘flatten the mental health need curve’ before demand overwhelms the capacity of available services.

We understand the major challenges institutions are facing with mental health and digital wellness. In response we have carefully designed a mental & digital wellness and stress management workshop for students.

The Invigilator


The Invigilator an Innovative
& Accessible Solution for Virtual Exam Invigilation

"Consequences Of Poorly Invigilated Online Exams Will Affect This Generation"

The switch to online teaching and learning due to the pandemic will have far reaching effect including the consequences of poorly invigilated online exams. Traditionally, venue-based exams are monitored by an invigilator. So how do we respond to the need of our time, where academic institutions need to ensure that exams and assessments are written fairly. 

The Invigilator App offers a virtual invigilation solution that strikes the balance between authentication of learners during assessments and invasion of privacy. Hosted on an entry level smart phone, The Invigilator also overcomes many of the issues related to accessibility, data security and connectivity. Aside from being optimal for online exams, it is also ideal for remote venue invigilation in the future. 

The Invigilator has been making waves in the education sector as an innovative, accessible and affordable solution to mitigating the risk of cheating in exams.

Gradescope is a Game Changer


Gradescope: A Game Changer

The University of Pretoria on Using Gradescope

“It’s really a game changer. Marking exams using Gradescope was the least painful thing I’ve ever done!

Where it would usually take weeks, I did all of my marking in less than two days. I had all my meals, I slept each night – it was so easy.

It also took away the stress of those small things that used to take up so much unnecessary time – like adding up the marks double checking that you’ve added it correctly.”

The State of Teaching and Learning: Primary and Secondary (K-12) Education


SIX KEY TRENDS IN TEACHING & LEARNING: PRIMARY & SECONDARY (K12) EDUCATION

Eiffel Corp Logo Blue

canvas-red

Education has faced unprecedented challenges over the last year and a half.  When COVID-19 caused the world to screech to a halt, teachers had to learn new systems and technologies, all while continuing to drive learning forward. When home became the new classroom, families had to support their children’s learning—in addition to their many other responsibilities—and students had to take more ownership of their learning than ever before.

How has the pandemic impacted K-12 education? And what did the last year reveal about the state of teaching and learning in 2021? Instructure partnered with Hanover Research to find out. 

Parents and educators in the United States were surveyed to identify:
