Creating an Online Peer-to-Peer Mentoring Program: Promoting Student Relationships, Engagement, and Satisfaction during the Era of COVID-19
Krause, Alan J.; Moore, Sarah Y.
College Teaching, v70 n3 p296-308 2022
In the shift from on campus to online education, liberal arts colleges have lost much of the interaction among students that fosters student engagement, learning, and satisfaction. We present an online, student peer-to-peer mentoring program that creates learning partnerships between students and recreates this vital cocurricular learning online. Assigning mentors and mentees a year apart in the same major and asking them to engage in self-reflection, to learn about interpersonal relationships, to build actual relationships, and to consult with peers, creates an opportunity to reinforce liberal arts values of shared inquiry and application of learning. To assess program effectiveness, we report both student outcomes and attitudinal data from the fall semester 2020 when our university operated entirely online.
