Abstract
Victoria University‘s current student cohort is both diverse and disadvantaged, with over 80% either engaged in or looking for part - time work. In this context, student peer mentors — Student Rovers — are employed and deploy ed across three Learning Commons as a strategy for providing just - in - time‘ and just - in - place‘ learning support to other students. The program was established as a potential means for engaging Student Rovers in learning to learn while also learning to work, as well as for fostering and facilitating student engagement in campus life. An evaluative research project is currently under way to evaluate the effectiveness of the Student Rover program with regard to a number of interrelated and overlapping areas of concern.
