Peer support with learning technologies

While studying it’s likely you’re going to be faced with some new ways of doing things.

At times you’ll be relying on technology to connect and collaborate with staff and peers, and using new platforms and applications. Some things will be easy, while others might require a little bit of help.

Peer Assistants are here to usher you through your learning technology journey!

The service has been designed to deliver just-in-time assistance when you need to know what to do, or where to click, in order to solve learning technology issues as they arise, and let you get on with your work.

The peer service is run through Microsoft Teams, so it’s easy to call (through Teams) or online chat to a friendly and knowledgeable peer assistant pretty much instantly during the service hours.

We also have an on campus service option at Mount Lawley and Joondalup.

Don’t go it alone!

What kind of questions can I ask?

  • How to access and use Blackboard or Blackboard Collaborate to attend lectures and engage in tutorials.
  • How to watch, make, edit or share a video using Panopto.
  • How can I access and navigate PebblePad?
  • How do I submit an assignment using Turnitin?
  • Help! I need formatting or technical assistance with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams etc).
  • Other technology related queries you encounter in your studies.
