The thing I personally think it really good is the Student Leadership  scheme where we have ambassadors, mentors, tutors, reps and digital leaders. I think it makes the students feel like they have a huge voice and also help each other

In the past I have used: usictech https://padlet.com/usictech/s5bld5419ftmfm8n/wish/1514224566 a) Have them write name, area of study, one thing that excites them and one that makes them nervous about the module, and one fun fact or something about them to share. The tutor starts and then goes around with students sharing only the fun fact and collects all the other answers to read afterwards.. Online we do this using a forum.
b) Have them write three facts about them, two must be true and one false. The tutor starts the activity and students have to guess the false one. Then is the tutor turn to guess a few and take the rest home to complete and bring the answers the next session. Online, we use a forum.
