Study Support E-mentoring- Information for Learners
The Keele Study Support E-mentoring project puts you in touch with one of our enthusiastic and knowledgeable current students – your e-mentor. They work hard to provide you with practical support, guidance and friendly advice about your studies. They are great people to approach with any concerns or questions you have about university and life as a student.
You will chat with your mentor through a brand new website. It has been specifically designed for the purpose and also provides a range of fun, interactive activities, articles and resources to support your studies, help you find out about University Life and develop future plans. The website is secure and monitored.
What is E-mentoring?
An e-mentor can provide you with similar support to that of a face-to-face mentor but because you don’t have to be in the same place it is very flexible. You can send your messages at any time which means you can do it when it works best for you. You can often discuss subjects online that you might not feel comfortable discussing face-to-face, such as fears or worries about going to university. Our brand new E-mentoring system, hosted by the Brightside Trust, offers a number of exciting opportunities for you, including:
•A secure conversation space which enables you to have confidential discussions with your mentor.
• A bright and exciting online E-mentoring Account which provides easy access to messages, resources and activities.
•Over 1,000 news stories and resources in the regularly updated online Bright Knowledge library.
•Coaching activities developed in collaboration with students and advisers, designed to build key skills such as time management, study techniques, money management and confidence.
