• What is the PSLC?
    The Regional PSLC is a cross-institutional centre for promoting effective, learner focused peer supported learning systems by building on the experience and expertise in peer supported learning in all Shannon Consortium partner institutions, particularly that related to UL's highly successful academic enrichment programme known as Peer-Supported Learning Groups (PSLG).
    Slide 1
  • What are PSLG Sessions?
    Peer-Supported Learning Groups (PSLG) are a proactive academic enrichment programme, that target difficult modules/subjects. They foster cross-year support between students on the same course by encouraging them to support each other and to learn co-operatively under the guidance of students from the year(s) above.
    Slide 2
  • What do the students get from participation?
    The sessions involve active learning in small groups which encourages collaborative learning thus working both on what students learn and how they learn. They provide opportunities to practice using the language of the subject in a safe, friendly and supportive environment. Best of all, PSLG sessions benefits all students regardless of their academic abilities.
