A technology loan program that is responsive to your student’s needs.
SET-BC loans technology to school-based teams in BC school districts based on classroom or student needs identified during our Collaborative Action Plan (CAP) process. We also provide short-term loans of complex technologies for trial and assessment purposes.
SET-BC provides support and service for loaned technology for up to three years and the loans can be anywhere from a month to a school calendar year depending on each situation. Technology on loan from SET-BC is fully managed and supported throughout the service period by the SET-BC technical support staff. This includes repairs and replacements as necessary due to defects or normal ‘wear and tear’ in the school environment. Visit our SETdesk Support Page for more information.
We provide long and short term loans for the following types of technologies.
Switch technology, alternate input devices, text-to-speech / speech-to-text software, word prediction software, and computing devices that provide support for students who have difficulty accessing their curriculum due to a physical challenge.
