PEER SUPPORT NETWORKS
Sean Morrisey and Katy Savage, University of Strathclyde
Peer Support Networks are a key part of Academic Development for learning and
teaching at Strathclyde. We began using these networks to support applicants for
Senior Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy, and the idea grew from there, with
networks now in place to support:
•
•
•
•
•
HEA Fellowships
leadership in learning and teaching
pedagogy and publication
playful learning
using social media and technology in learning and teaching (#StrathTechEd).
The video below tells you the story of our networks and the experiences of staff working
within the networks, including what they have gained from this participation.
