Learning Enhancement Development (LED): Sustaining Academic Resilience through Peer-Mentoring Support

Chia Ping Lee & Rayson Pang  Heriot-Watt University, Malaysia

As resilience is associated with coping with university and academic success, HeriotWatt University Malaysia has conducted a pilot project to create intermediate steps to help students build resilience and strategies to cope with academic demands of learning. In this student-led initiative, student leaders collaborate with the academically inclined students who serve as mentors. Their role includes leading and guiding the opportunity students (who need support to catch up) with their courses in regular consultations as part of educational intervention.
