Abegglen, Sandra, Burns, Tom and Sinfield, Sandra (2016) The power of freedom : setting up a multimodal exhibition with undergraduate students to foster their learning and help them to achieve. Journal of Peer Learning, 9 (1). pp. 1-9. ISSN 2200-2359
The present paper explores the opportunities created by an emancipatory approach to learning and teaching when combined with embedded peer mentoring. First year undergraduate students - most from non-traditional backgrounds - were set the task to explore learning spaces at their university and to present their findings in creative ways in a Multimodal Exhibition during Enhancement Week. They were supported by second year students on their course who acted as coaches, role models, and critics. Our experience - and feedback by students - showed that serious learning is taking place when students are given "the freedom to learn".
