Introduction

Technology-facilitated sexualized violence (TFSV) is a quickly evolving type of sexualized violence that has very real impacts on people’s lives. As a result of strong student and community-based advocacy, public post-secondary institutions have recognized it as a concern and are taking steps to respond in helpful ways. The development and implementation of this course is one of those steps.

This course builds on BCcampus’s Safer Campuses for Everyone training, which covers general information about sexualized violence, consent, active bystander intervention, and supporting survivors. We encourage institutions that are implementing Technology-Facilitated Sexualized Violence: An Introductory Course for B.C. Post-Secondary Institutions to simultaneously implement Safer Campuses for Everyone or have similar education available.

Technology-Facilitated Sexualized Violence: An Introductory Course for B.C. Post-Secondary Institutions is a brand-new resource that was created to fill a gap in education focused on TFSV. We encourage users to modify it as needed and as the landscape of TFSV information continues to develop.

The course provides information and suggestions for using the self-paced, online course at your post-secondary institution. The introduction offers an overview of the course. Adapting the Course for Your Institution offers different ways the course content can be adapted. Editing and Sharing the Course then provides step-by-step instructions on how to incorporate the course into a learning management system (LMS), including Moodle, Desire2Learn, Blackboard, and Canvas.
