- The presenter will address the core components of the SI model, reflect on how the program has contributed to student success, explore international adaptations, with particular reference to the South African perspective, and consider future directions for peer support in 21st Century learning.
- Core concepts: Revisiting Fundamentals; Promoting Student Success; Exploring Adaptations; and Envisioning 21st Century Learning.
- The symposium is aimed at academic staff in Higher Education institutions and Centres for Teaching & Learning concerned with student retention, integration and supporting the first year experience.
