When a student requires peer-led learning support from experienced students


What should you be aware of?


Student Learning Assistants (SLAs) are experienced students who have been identified by their academic tutors as being highly motivated and capable learners who “have been there before” and know the typical academic issues new students face in their studies. They work in lectures, seminars, workshops and small group sessions outside the class to assist students in their learning. Working with SLAs enables students to ask questions freely about their course without being embarrassed, and gradually helps build up students’ confidence levels and empowers them to take ownership of their learning.


What should you do?


Make the students aware that student-led support is available from Student Learning Assistants in all Faculties and Schools. Please advise the student that SLAs do not teach but are fully trained to work with students to complement what has been taught in lectures and help them have a better understanding of the course.


Contact an SLA: If a student would like to contact an SLA for their Module/Programme or if they require peer learning support, they can: — Email their queries to: ask-an-sla@mdx.ac.uk


— Check UniHub for the SLA for their Module/Programme: http://unihub.mdx.ac.uk/study/student-to-student-support/sla-profiles


— Read more about SLAs on UniHub: http://unihub.mdx.ac.uk/study/student-to-student-support/about-us — Contact the Module Leader to enquire about the SLA for the Module


What happens next?


The student will be assigned to a suitable SLA who will guide the student, provide relevant learning support and refer to further support if required.
