Transformative learning and technology: The case of peer support

The recent lockdown opened up new ways to use technology in learning. This presentation highlights the positive uses of technology in the context of academic peer support, using Student Academic Support Services (SASS) at the American College of Greece as a case study. By summarizing the responses of Learning Facilitators on the effectiveness of our web-based platforms, the presentation highlights the following:

• Transformative learning relates to both content and method of providing support.
• Transformative learning applies to both on-campus and online environments.
• Online learning has a strong transformative nature when provided by peers.
