Session 1: Marty Caine
Date and time: Wednesday 14th March 2012, 7.00pm-8.00pm (GMT)
Session title: An introduction to peer mentoring to support online and distance learning students
Description: This upcoming guest speaker session tackles the subject of peer mentoring. Our journey to discovery more about this topic begins with an overview of peer mentoring, where we will consider questions such as 'What is peer mentoring?'. We will look at the role of the mentor by answering questions such as 'What is a peer mentor' and 'Is an online peer mentor different?'.

The session will also look further into how peer mentoring can be used as a tool to support online and distance learning students, exploring the benefits not only to the students but the education establishments who implement them. Once the decision has been taken to incorporate an online peer mentoring scheme, we need to consider its implementation, including the requirements and the challenges it brings, which will complete the topics to be discussed during this first guest speaker session.
Session 2: Neil Davie
Date and time: Tuesday 20th March 2012, 7.00pm-8.00pm (GMT)
Session title: Mobile learning: An introduction to theory and practice
Description: Mobile learning has been a buzzword amongst e-learning practitioners for the last few years. In this webinar we will explore the definitions and theoretical basis for mobile learning and look at student attitudes towards mobile learning: Are students interested in mobile learning, are they perhaps already using it, and how can we best support them? The final part of the webinar will focus on simple, cost-effective ways to introduce mobile learning to your institution. This webinar is for anyone who is interested in mobile learning but not sure how to begin and for those who have already taken their first steps.
