Abstract

This chapter reports on a mixed study dealing with the impact of integrating student peer mentor facilitators into online discussions in an effort to improve the quality and effectiveness of collaborative learning. The study included developing and testing of an assessment scale for measuring students’ perceived peer mentoring course satisfaction. During the five-week study, training interventions were implemented in the third week. The study tested whether college students’ perceived peer mentoring course satisfaction scores increase as a result of the peer mentoring training intervention. The resulting increasing quantitative mean score trend combined with positive qualitative feedback provided evidence of an overall growth in students’ perceived peer mentoring community satisfaction, worthy of further investigation. The assessment instrumented created has positive implications for online collaboration at all education levels.
