PAL at the University of Glasgow
By
Steve Draper,
Department of Psychology,
University of Glasgow.
This page is my pointers to PAL at the University of Glasgow.
2014 update
The most interesting PAL, or post-PAL, work at GU nowadays may possibly be
that with facebook groups set up by staff to serve the function of PAL.
Contact
Sarah Honeychurch or
Shazia Ahmed for this.
Pre-history
Getting pupils to teach each other goes back at least to Andrew Bell in the
eighteenth century.
Our scheme derives more directly from an approach developed in the USA under
the name of Supplemental Instruction in 1973, and now offered at about 60% of
(research-oriented) US universities.
It was introduced into the UK at
Kingston University in 1990 in modified form as PAL.
In 2002-3, the
Student
Network introduced it to Glasgow University for a course in Computing
Science, supported by a grant from the Chancellor's fund.
Current schemes at Glasgow
The list below was last roughly updated in 2007 and is now out of date; but
PAL is still important in some subjects.
