They also draw attention to other interrelated standards and highlight potential risks to compliance. They do not introduce prescriptive obligations.  \nThe definitive instruments that set out providers’obligations in delivering higher education remain the Threshold Standards (as amended on advice from the Higher Education Standards Panel to the Minister for Education from time to time) and the  Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency Act 2011.  \nIn early 2024, TEQSA consulted stakeholders with a draft version of the guidance note about learning resources and education support, and considered all feedback.  \nThis guidance note was finalised on 11 June 2025.  \nThe purpose and intent of the guidance note about learning resources and education support is to support providers to assure themselves that their learning resources are appropriately accessible to all students and related to learning outcomes, and that learning support services meet the needs of student cohorts.  \nFor the full list of guidance notes and resources, please see the TEQSA website.  \n!  \n1. What do learning resources and educational support encompass?  \nIn the context of the Higher Education Standards Framework (Threshold Standards) 2021 (Threshold Standards), learning resources and educational support refer to the academic resources made available for a course of study and the support a provider offers students to develop students’ capacity for independent learning and inquiry.  \nThe primary obligations related to learning resources and educational support are found in section 3.3 of the Threshold Standards.  \nFacilities and resources of a more general nature that do not form part of a particular course of study are covered in other parts of the Threshold Standards:  \n•  Facilities and infrastructure (section 2.1)  \n• Wellbeing and safety (section 2. 3)  \n• Staffing (section 3. 2).  \nLearning resources and educational support relating to research and research training fall within section 4.2 of the Threshold Standards and are not considered as part of this guidance note (See Guidance note: Research and research training).  \nLearning resources  \nThe Threshold Standards require a provider to ensure students:  \n• have access to up-to-date learning resources, which are directly relevant to their course of study  \n• receive timely training and support to access and use student learning management systems (more information about obligations regarding student learning management systems is available in the Facilities and Infrastructure Guidance note)  \n• are not subjected to unexpected barriers, such as the cost of technological requirements to access required resources.  \nWhen assessing learning resources, TEQSA will consider:  \n• the educational materials  \n• their availability  \n• their accessibility  \n• their quality.  \nThe Threshold Standards do not dictate or specify a required form for learning resources. Examples of learning resources include physical books, journals, videos, websites, podcasts, or online databases. Regardless of the form a learning resource takes, a provider must ensure the resources are:  \n• available in forms that are accessible to all students, including those with disability, regardless of the mode of study (e.g. online only)  \n• appropriate for the level of qualification under the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF)  \n• relevant and up to date.  \nGuidance note: Learning resources and educational support 1  \nThe Threshold Standards do not explicitly state a provider needs to have a physical library and physical learning materials. However, there is an expectation on providers to ensure students can readily a","cbCairmgMTxUNVGH","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairmgMTxUNVGH","pdf",198715,"English","# 1.
