Mapping Student-Led Peer Learning in the UK
Keenan, Chris
Higher Education Academy
Peer-led academic learning has increased in importance, but there is little sense of how many institutions support it, how they understand its purposes or what peer-led learning best practice is. This report examines the provision of peer-led learning in the UK. It identifies challenges and opportunities, including international perspectives and looks at examples of good practice and the potential for future research in the area. Survey questions are appended.
