Associate Professor Lynda Crowley-Cyr of the USQ School of Law and Justice has co-written a new article titled 'Using Peer Assisted Learning to improve academic engagement and progression of first year online law students'. Written with James Hevers, the article appears in Volume 18(1) of the Journal of University Teaching & Learning Practice. Here is the abstract:
"The University of Southern Queensland’s online study environment continues to grow with over 16,000 students studying online. Pre-Covid-19, online enrolments typically represent around 67% of all students studying at USQ. This article usefully analyses quantitative data in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the pilot of an online peer-assisted learning program for first-year Law students. The article asks whether a customised online Meet-Up program can objectively enhance student engagement and academic performance in a first-year law course. Results from the pilot were positive and are a productive contribution to the literature on online peer-assisted learning."
