The Teaching Hero Awards learning impact awards were first launched in January 2014. The awards are run in partnership with the Union of students of Ireland (USI). Students can nominate their teaching hero by completing an online nomination form, which includes the reasons why a staff member is a teaching hero as well as the impact this has had on the students teaching and learning experience. The campaign is run locally by the student’s union office within each institution.
In 2018, the Glucksman Library at the University of Limerick launched Leganto, a reading list management tool designed to streamline access to academic resources for students. Leganto ensures equitable access to academic content, helping students engage with reliable sources and easing their transition into university-level study.
