Welcome to the Mentoring Online Toolkit
This toolkit has been designed to enable staff (and students) to learn more about peer mentoring and how it can be integrated into a course. The aim is to provide a ‘quick start guide’ to setting up a mentoring scheme by focusing on the key areas of consideration and providing step-by-step guidance. If you have any questions about this guide or setting up any form of peer mentoring or other forms of peer learning on your course, then please email Jason Eyre (jeyre@dmu.ac.uk).
