| The workshop will focus on sharing thoughts on how peer learning schemes can help new students in their studies. Both short- and long-term. Using these shared thoughts, we will examine one specific peer learning model – Supplemental Instruction/Peer Assisted Study Scheme (SI-PASS) – through its guiding principles. SI-PASS is well established internationally and staff from more than 1500 university colleges and universities in nearly 30 countries has been trained in the model (Martin, 2008). After a brief introduction of the workshop, we will let participants, for a few minutes, individually think about how they would like to adapt their new students using existing or imagined peer learning schemes. Thereafter, in groups, share those thoughts and extract the three items the group finds most important and put them down on a flip-chart paper. This will be followed by a gallery walk to get an overview of the various groups’ ideas. Thereafter we will apply these thoughts to the guiding principles of SI-PASS using a think-group-share activity. We hope that the outcomes from this session will be a better overview of what the potential benefits with peer learning schemes may be and with this in mind some insights into the model SI-PASS.
