Using Peer Assisted Learning to Improve Academic Engagement and Progression of First Year Online Law Students
Crowley-Cyr, Lynda; Hevers, James
Journal of University Teaching and Learning Practice, v18 n1 Article 2 2021
The University of Southern Queensland's online study environment continues to grow with over 16,000 students studying online. Pre-Covid-19, online enrolments typically represent around 67% of all students studying at USQ. This article usefully analyses quantitative data in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the pilot of an online peer-assisted learning program for first-year Law students. The article asks whether a customised online Meet-Up program can objectively enhance student engagement and academic performance in a first-year law course. Results from the pilot were positive and are a productive contribution to the literature on online peer-assisted learning.
