2020/2021 SEMESTER 1
Supporting successful transitions to NUI GalwayNow in its eighth year of operation, CÉIM pivoted this academic year to deliver weekly peer learning sessions online via the Zoom platform. CÉIM has continued to support 1st year students’ transition to higher education, health and wellbeing, academic success, progression and transferable skills development in these unprecedented times.
CÉIM sessions this semester have focused more so than ever on facilitating discussions on study tips and health and wellbeing to help students adapt to online learning.
For the fi rst time, all 1st year students offered CÉIM were assigned to a small Buddy/Study group within their CÉIM group to help them make friends and form a study group.
A new secure IT platform has been developed for 1st year students and CÉIM leaders to access their weekly online CÉIM sessions, record and view attendance, complete training and achieve a digital badge, all from a single customised webpage.
