This document discusses Newcastle University's approach to module evaluation as a tool to improve teaching quality. It provides an overview of the university and the context for module evaluations. It describes the process of implementing online module evaluations across the university using a centralized system with common questions. It discusses challenges engaging both staff and students, and strategies used. It concludes by reflecting on lessons learned and plans for continued improvements.HE Course and Module Evaluation Conference - Paul bennet
This document discusses using programme surveys to inform educational enhancement. It addresses the purposes and challenges of programme surveys, using survey results as quality indicators, and engaging academic staff. Programme surveys provide partial representations of student experience and should be triangulated with other data sources. Survey results alone do not indicate quality but can help identify areas for improvement when discussed openly among staff, students, and administrators. Engaging all stakeholders is key to effectively utilizing programme surveys for educational enhancement.

The University of Bath integrated their online unit evaluation tool with their student records system and virtual learning environment to improve the course evaluation experience. This addressed issues like a lack of standardization, duplication, and poor feedback loops. The changes increased core evaluation questions, included individual staff evaluations, improved closing the feedback loop, and increased response rates by 10-12%. Further developments included a mobile-friendly version. The goal was to better inform academic development and promotions while enhancing the student experience.HE Course and Module Evaluation Conference - Kate Little
The document discusses moving from a consumerist model of student feedback to a partnership model where students are engaged as co-creators in the learning process. It advocates for surveys to be embedded within broader student representation and engagement, with students and staff jointly responsible for identifying issues, developing solutions, and implementing changes. Case studies from Gloucestershire and Glasgow universities demonstrate iterative evaluation processes where student feedback directly impacted module improvements. Principles for research emphasize empowering students and staff to work together towards a shared quality agenda through open access to information and ensuring feedback leads to timely actions and solutions developed in partnership.

This document discusses ways to improve relationships between central administrative departments and academic schools at universities. It outlines some common tensions between the two groups, including lack of understanding of each other's roles and lack of communication. The University of Kent implemented several initiatives to address this, including creating a new role to facilitate connections, holding professional development events, and implementing job shadowing and coffee meetup programs. While progress has been made, fully bridging gaps between central and local services remains an ongoing challenge that requires long-term commitment.413: Transforming Spaces, Practices and Attitudes
This document discusses the design and planning process for a new academic building at the University of Kent that would house two schools. The building was designed to foster collaboration through innovative teaching spaces, a welcoming environment, and flexibility. The design brief called for spaces that supported the professional identity of each school while enabling high quality teaching. The document then examines some example spaces like academic offices, postgraduate research areas, and social learning environments. It discusses working within constraints, getting user input, budgets, and other stakeholders. Finally, it emphasizes managing the change process through clear communication and being prepared to explain design decisions.

Professor Helen Marshall, Vice-Chancellor of University of Salford, delivered a keynote focused on delivering a better support of widening participation in Universities. Current agendas that seek to promote “widening participation” and the development of skilled as well as knowledgeable graduates mean that universities need to take a step back to re-examine and challenge traditional curriculum design and delivery models. This paper explores the current landscape and requirements such as modularisation, credits, learning outcomes and levels and how those support and/or constrain curriculum design and delivery that engages and develops students who come from backgrounds that are mixed in terms of previous educational experience, socio-economic class and cultural heritage. The central theme is to challenge perceptions that certain approaches to curriculum design and delivery are not possible because of these requirements.AUA Partnerships 2014 - Reviewing University oversight/ governance arrangemen...

Reviewing University oversight/ governance arrangements for collaborative arrangements: a work in progressWhat can a University learn from Apprenticeship Levy?
This document discusses how universities can learn from the UK Apprenticeship Levy. The Apprenticeship Levy requires employers with an annual wage bill over £3 million to contribute 0.5% of their wage bill towards apprenticeship funding. Universities need to be agile and strategic in order to take advantage of opportunities from the levy. They should influence both employers and within their own institutions to develop degree apprenticeship programs that address skills shortages and retain apprentices as future students. Success will require complying with funding rules, strong employer partnerships, and collaboration both within and across universities.

The University of Sheffield Admissions Service underwent a process to go paperless over several years. They harnessed the external pressure of UCAS pushing for paperless applications to gain momentum for the project when facing lack of internal support. The process involved radically changing core admissions procedures without technology, engaging stakeholders at all stages of design, development and implementation, and relying on constant communication. Lessons learned include the importance of planning processes as much as possible, establishing clear rationale, gaining buy-in at all levels, and embracing continuous improvement even after completion.Transforming the Approach to Change Using Lean to increase participation and ...

This session focuses on how the AUA Behaviours Framework has been applied to the continuous personal and professional development of Library Services staff; enabling staff to understand and respond fully to the individual needs of an increasingly diverse student body. Students are supported wholeheartedly by staff on their journey from pre-university to alumni. The Library Service has involved students with innovative service developments and works closely with student representatives. Staff and students jointly play their part in the community through active engagement in valuable and mutually beneficial partnerships.Midlands Conference 2015 - Restructure and reorganisation
The document discusses a restructuring of the administration structures at the University of Wolverhampton from 8 schools to 4 faculties. Key points:
1) The previous structures had grown randomly and led to inconsistencies, lack of clarity and tensions. A review identified a need for streamlining and greater consistency.
2) Principles of the restructure included achieving consistent structures, improving services, introducing process re-engineering, and creating a "whole university" approach.
3) The restructure involved engaging staff, developing new job descriptions and structures, and a match and slot process to move staff to the new roles.
4) The change is intended to provide clearer career opportunities and a flexible structure to
Postgraduate Experience Report Final
This document provides an overview and introduction to the Postgraduate Experience Project (PEP), a collaborative project funded by HEFCE to analyze expectations, attitudes, experiences, and outcomes for postgraduate taught STEM students in the UK. The project involved 11 universities and aimed to understand barriers to PGT study, inform institutional and national strategies to support and sustain the PGT sector. Key data collection methods are described. The report is organized into 11 chapters covering topics like motivations for PGT study, the application process, finances, learning and teaching experiences, and employability. The conclusions and recommendations are intended to help shape policy and practice around supporting and growing PGT opportunities in STEM fields in the UK.

This document discusses the University of the Highlands and Islands' efforts to create a single operating framework for its diverse higher education programs, including those involving the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA). It notes that UHI holds maximum devolvable powers from SQA for key quality assurance functions. The challenges of coordinating SQA programs across 13 academic partners are discussed. Changes made to streamline SQA quality assurance processes and oversight are outlined, such as combining roles, establishing committees, verifying systems, and revising procedures. Improvements to mitigating circumstances policies, core reporting, and network progression boards are also summarized.Blackboard Analytics for Learn: A recipe for success
So much of the current discussion around Learning Analytics seems to be caught up in the realm of Big Data that informs the top executives and decision makers who are shaping institution-wide strategies. While these kinds of topics need to be explored, truly significant and transformative uses of learning analytics can be had at the grassroots level of the teacher and student.
This session will look at how Edith Cowan University is using Blackboard Analytics for Learn to empower staff and students with their own data, allowing them to make informed and timely decisions in their own teaching and learning journeys.
We will explore how learning analytics data enables staff to do things like identify and support students at risk of disengaging from the course early, monitor how students are actually engaging in their course and collect real evidence on student interactions that informs a continual process of improvement in learning design and resources.
Midlands Conference 2015: Strategic responses presentation
The document discusses strategic challenges facing universities in a competitive environment. It outlines two main challenges: 1) managing supply and demand of students in a capped market with increasing alternative providers, and 2) addressing the perception of students as consumers who evaluate the value of tuition. Universities are responding strategically with investments in student experience, campus redevelopments, and improving employability and satisfaction metrics. The higher education sector is predicted to become more market-driven, competitive, and unpredictable for universities.

Can we do it without school principals’ commitment? Exploring the complex imp...
There has been a growing interest for Universal Design for Learning (UDL) as a framework for inclusion in both the K-12 and post-secondary sectors over the last decade, and this momentum has been noticeable globally. The body of literature which evidences the pedagogical benefits of UDL implementation for the inclusion of diverse learners is now broad and diversified. There is also growing interest in examining UDL implementation from a leadership and administrative perspective, examining it as a management of change process. In the K-12 sector, this scholarship is not as developed as it could be if it is going to effectively support and guide the efforts of teachers as they attempt to scale up their initiatives and achieve sustainable integration across schools. There are many variables teachers seeking to adopt UDL have to battle with, and the roles and positions of school principal is a factor often cited.
This presentation will explore in an interactive format the much under-researched impact of the know-how, disposition, and commitment of school principals towards UDL integration. An awareness of this variable and its impact is crucial when designing future blueprints for the effective growth of UDL across schools. The session will be run in a workshop format that will encourage participants to share their experiences authentically and to build on some of the frustrations that will be expressed about the frequent ambivalence of school leaders in the process of UDL growth. The anticipated outcomes are as follows. Participants will:
- Reflect on the impact of school leadership on the success of UDL implementation
- Examine the resources and training school principals are in need of to more effectively support UDL initiatives
- Explore the challenges faced by school principals when trying to support UDL projects, within a wider landscape of neoliberal pressures

Supporting the success of priority learners – translating policy aspiration to enhancement of practice
Professor Graham Gibbs Presentation
1. The document discusses key factors ("presage", "process", and "product" variables) that predict quality in higher education based on literature. Resources and selectivity predict some outcomes but not learning gains. Quality of teaching predicts performance and gains.
2. It also examines how universities have responded to teaching performance indicators (PIs) by improving feedback and using programs like TESTA, with increased student engagement and satisfaction. However, modular structures can negatively impact coherence.
3. The key implications are paying attention to pedagogy through changing students' and teachers' approaches, social learning, and program-level assessment, as well as using PIs to drive quality improvements through change processes.

AHDS Annual Conference 2016 - Karin Chenoweth
This document discusses the beliefs and practices of leaders in "unexpected schools" - schools that significantly outperform expectations given their student demographics. It finds that these leaders share a core set of beliefs: that all students can achieve high standards, that teachers and schools have the power to help students excel, and that this work must be a priority. The leaders institutionalize these beliefs through celebrating progress, highlighting success stories, maintaining high expectations, and challenging popular narratives about limitations. They model continuous improvement and focus on factors within the school's control. Instilling these beliefs in staff is seen as crucial to creating a culture of excellence.
