The webinar

In this session on "Developing Your Peer Learning Practice to Enhance Educational Experiences," we will set out why peer learning is a transformative strategy for educational enhancement, fostering collaboration, and building a resilient learning community. It will explore peer learning, from its definition and scope to practical strategies for implementation among students and staff.

The session will allow attendees to consider how to facilitate effective group dynamics, integrate peer learning into curriculum design, and tackle common challenges with workable solutions. Not only will it provide you with actionable strategies but also invite you to reflect on how these practices can be applied or enhanced within your institutions.
