EYES-ON-PSE est un cours préparatoire aux études postsecondaires offert gratuitement en ligne pour aider les étudiants à se préparer pour leur cheminement au collège ou à l’université. Ce cours en ligne asynchrone est divisé en six modules qui sont faciles à naviguer et conçus pour être suivi à son propre rythme. Chaque module couvre des sujets tels que à quoi s’attendre au collège et à l’université et de l’information pertinente portant sur son parcours au postsecondaire.

Ce cours a été conçu en tant que programme de transition en ligne pour aider les étudiants à se préparer, à se renseigner et à se faire gagner de la confiance alors qu’ils entament leurs études postsecondaires. Il existe de grands changements entre l’école secondaire et les études postsecondaires qui peuvent rendre la transition difficile pour n’importe quel étudiant. Souvent, les études postsecondaires requièrent moins d'interaction entre l'étudiant et l'enseignant, incitent une plus grande concurrence académique, impliquent moins de réseaux de soutien personnel et invoquent plus d'attentes générales que ne le fait le contexte de l'école secondaire. Ces changements, parmi autres, peuvent souvent avoir une plus grande incidence sur les étudiants handicapés et intervenir dans la capacité des étudiants touchés à faire une transition efficace entre leurs études secondaires et postsecondaires.

EYES-ON-PSE a été créé avec des fonds du projet de la Stratégie d’apprentissage virtuel (SAV) du gouvernement de l’Ontario qui vise à fournir des ressources en ligne accessibles aux étudiants, aux membres du personnel, aux parents et à tout autre personnel qui travaillent et apprennent dans un milieu postsecondaire.

In addition to the EYES-ON-PSE course that is hosted on the Transition Resource Guide website, individual schools and organizations can also use the course and create their own version for their students.

In 2022, customized EYES-ON-PSE courses were piloted across a number of institutions in Ontario including Confederation College, McMaster University, St. Lawrence College, Trent University Durham GTA, University of Toronto Scarborough and the Transition Resource Guide. EYES-ON-PSE reached over 550 students across the province.

The Regional Assessment and Resource Centre (RARC) is actively recruiting colleges, universities, high schools and other organizations to host and pilot their own version of this online course at their institution for summer 2023.

Pilot sites will receive the customizable course files, one-on-one support from the RARC team to adapt the course to their school or organization, as well as support and collaboration with the other participating pilot sites.
