Dear SI-PASS and Peer Mentoring Colleagues,
I hope everyone's had a lovely weekend, with some Easter chocolate treats thrown in!
As the PASS programme coordinator at Queen Mary University of London, I am currently exploring the idea of creating an online learning module which new students on the programme can use to learn and digest the informational aspects of the training followed by an in person training involving activities that will give the students the opportunity to digest and implement the knowledge.
It would be great to learn from any PASS/PAL/peer mentoring programmes that have already incorporated online learning modules into their training package and understand:
1. How you've approached the module content to be included
2. Your approach to the build of the online learning module
3. What impact it's incorporation has had with the leader/mentor training and staff time
If you have already ventured into this territory, or like me, are in the planning stages of introducing this into your training package, I would love to hear from you!
Hope you all have a lovely week ahead, and for those attending the Peer Learning Forum, I hope it's a great experience of collaboration, knowledge sharing and touching base with the SI - PASS community.

Dear SI-PASS colleagues,
my name is Joakim Malm and I am a certified trainer at the European Centre for SI-PASS. The European Centre works together with researchers from Netherlands and Australia on a project related to “soft” skills/graduate attributes that student participants may develop while taking part in SI-PASS sessions. Based on a focus group with leaders and participants plus a world-wide survey to SI-PASS supervisors we distinguished three main areas that SI-PASS participants most likely develops in sessions: teamwork/collaboration, communication and study strategies. In the next step we constructed a survey that tests for development of these three “soft” skills for participants in SI-PASS sessions (including validation of the survey based on a group of some 300 SI-PASS participants).
We are now ready to distribute the survey to SI-PASS participants world-wide and would like to ask for your help in doing this. Could you as supervisors ask your SI-PASS leaders to distribute the link to the survey to their participants within the next two weeks (the survey takes 5-10 minutes to complete and is anonymous)? The link to the survey is: https://hva.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2hnwPNUIqJJWBwy . Deadline for submitting responses is Friday May 17. Thank you very much in advance!
We will share the survey results with you once we processed the data and created a report. If the results from the survey are positive, they will provide one more argument for getting funding for SI-PASS schemes: that students participating in SI-PASS also develops graduate attributes besides assisting students in the learning of challenging course material.
Kind regards,
Joakim Malm, European Centre for SI-PASS
