SI-PASS Fika
The European Centre for SI-PASS (Lund University) is pleased to announce the first online SI-PASS FIKA this spring semester for supervisors and leaders on 13th of February between 1-2 pm UK-time / 2-3 pm CET. The zoom-link to the fika is: https://lu-se.zoom.us/j/4630658731 . The theme of the Fika will be ‘Gamification: creation and implementation (in SI-PASS)’. The event will be hosted by Emma Mansfield from University of Southampton and Marieke Ohl from Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh.
(An SI-PASS FIKA is an informal get together over a cup of coffee/tea and a cinnamon bun (last item not mandatory). The FIKA is free of charge and provides a chance to talk about SI-PASS related issues or just have a chat with SI-PASS friends).
In order to have relevant themes for fikas later in spring we would like you as SI-PASS practitioners to suggest topics (and if you are willing to host the event). At latest two weeks before each fika. Suggestions can be sent to si-pass(a)stu.lu.se<mailto:si-pass@stu.lu.se> or to Joakim Malm directly (mail address below).

Hi all,
Conor Start from University of Hull would like to share material that was talked about during the last SI-PASS Fika on March 11, 2024, see attached and below (for context)
Best wishes, Joakim (European centre for SI-PASS)
From Conor:
The University of Hull has had a University Library Volunteer Charter since 2012. The charter is used whenever a student volunteers with the Library and covers our PASS Leader, PASS Mentor and Library Volunteer roles. The charter is a formal way of students agreeing to the role and is similar to setting ground rules in a PASS session. It outlines the different roles, what is expected, and what support we offer to them during their time volunteering with us. On the last page we ask them to tick if they agree to share their information, for us to contact them and for their consent to allow us to take photos of them for promotional purposes. The students do not have to agree to any of these if they do not want to, but we often find they do consent. We use a mixture of physical and digital versions of the charter. We also have a similar charter for academic contacts to sign when they agree to support the PASS scheme within their department. We have found it useful to formalise our agreement to work together and it helps us to set expectations for all.
Kind Regards,
Conor
Hi,
We're pleased to promote the following webinar on Peer Assisted Learning (PAL) in Math, taking place on Wednesday 20th March 2-3pm (UK time):
**************
Using Peer Assisted Learning to support first-year Maths modules in Engineering and Physical Sciences
Nicola Allett and Pinar Ozbeser, Aston University, UK
This presentation focuses on a Peer Assisted Learning scheme implemented at Aston University to support first-year undergraduate Maths modules in Engineering and Physical Sciences. We will discuss the main features of the scheme and how it was introduced and evaluated using a Maths diagnostic tool. We will then present our initial analysis, which indicates that PAL has a positive impact on student outcomes (learning gain) when students are highly engaged in PAL. Finally, we will share the lessons we learned from establishing the scheme and invite attendees to share their own practice.
**************
