This document discusses mechanisms for capturing the student voice to improve the student learning experience. It recognizes that student input has long been important in UK higher education. Formal processes like student committees and surveys help provide feedback, while informal mechanisms also contribute. The document outlines strategies like teaching excellence, engagement, and curriculum reviews. It discusses governance structures like education committees that incorporate a new digital student portal. Capturing ongoing student comments allows feedback to various levels. Measuring the impact of student voice on change includes audits, networks, and reviewing retention and learning gain. The goal is using student advocacy and feedback to shape policy, governance, and holistic academic and social communities that foster engagement and success.

California Community College Faculty Motivation and Reflection on Open Textbo...Una Daly
Interviews were conducted with twelve faculty members at community colleges in California who adopted open textbooks in their teaching practice for one academic term or longer. The interviews queried faculty on motivation to undertake the adoption, pedagogical considerations, student savings and feedback, and support from other campus stakeholders.
Faculty were asked how their teaching and student learning was affected as a result of adopting an open textbook in their course. Specifically they were asked if they were collaborating more with other faculty members and whether they were now using a wider range of instructional materials in their courses. With regards to student learning, they were asked if they believed that student learning had improved or whether student retention had improved as a result of the adoption of an open and free textbook. Any unanticipated outcomes that had resulted from the adoption either in their own practice or with students was also queried.
In addition to the faculty and students, other stakeholders on campus are often involved in the decision and process to adopt an open textbook. College initiatives or pilot programs to increase access and equity were sometimes the instigators for making the change and other times it was strictly a faculty decision. Library, instructional design, and bookstore staff were other stakeholders who played roles in the adoption process.
Attend this presentation to better understand the motivations of college faculty who adopt open textbooks and how it affected their teaching practice. Hear about the challenges they encountered and any unexpected outcomes. Learn what students had to say about using open textbooks in the classroom and how it affected their learning and ability to be successful.

Professor Jessica Vanderlelie - La Trobe's Pro Vice-Chancellor Student Success - is one of Australia's most dedicated drivers of the student experience. Which makes it even more appropriate that she welcomed 'Students First 2019' delegates this year.
Listening to students is a critical part of driving effective change. Jessica described La Trobe University’s initiatives to put student feedback at the centre of the university. Delegates also heard that 70% of Studiosity users felt they’ll get a higher grade, 81% of Studiosity users felt more confident, and Studiosity users were 44% more likely to stay enrolled.
This year's Studiosity 'Students First' Symposium was hosted at La Trobe University City Campus, 25 and 26 July 2019.
School grants - from a promising to a successful policyIIEP-UNESCO
Autor: Candy Lugaz, Programme specialist, IIEP-UNESCO
In recent years, a growing number of developing countries have implemented school grant policies where local schools directly receive funding from the central authorities. The results: schools have more autonomy and unprecedented say in how their finances are managed.
While the fundamental objective of these policies is to improve equity so all children – even the poorest – are able to attend and learn in school, the mere existence of school grant policies does not guarantee that this will be achieved. Over the past six years, IIEP and its partners have been engaged in a major study looking at the use and usefulness of school grant policies.
During the 60th annual Comparative and International Education Society (CIES) conference in Vancouver, Canada, from 6-10 March 2016, a panel was dedicated to the project’s latest findings and key suggestions for making these policies stronger. IIEP school grants project coordinator, Candy Lugaz, provides insight from CIES.

Alan Roberts: Student engagement in shaping Higher Education. Slides from the University of Liverpool Learning and Teaching Conference 2009.
In February 2009 the Centre for Higher Education Research and Information produced a report to HEFCE on student engagement in England. The study aimed to:
* Determine the current extent and nature of student engagement in higher education in England;
* Explore current models of formal and informal student engagement;
* Explore institutions’ rationales for student engagement policies and practices, their measures of effectiveness, and perceptions of barriers to effectiveness;
* Explore what institutions and sector bodies might learn from student engagement models operating in other countries
Liverpool Guild of Students, on behalf of the University of Liverpool, was one of the case study organisations. This session will be used to create discussion about student engagement in learning and teaching issues at the University.
DREAM 2017 | Faculty as Drivers of College Reform EffortsAchieving the Dream
Three of Achieving the Dream’s funded learning initiatives – the Open Education Resources Degree Initiative, Engaging Adjunct Faculty Initiative, and InSpark Network-- are creating faculty led teams to drive curriculum and pedagogy reform and to engage a wider swath of faculty – both full and part time, in institution wide reform efforts.
During this workshop, participants:
* Learned about strategies these colleges are using to give faculty greater ownership of the completion agenda.
* Completed a readiness survey to assess their college’s current policies and practices for engaging faculty in institution-wide reform work
* Developed a draft plan for engaging more faculty in reform efforts at their campuses

Introduction to Bonner High-Impact Initiative Learning OutcomesBonner Foundation
Introduction to Bonner High-Impact Initiative Learning Outcomes, used at the High-Impact Institute Summer 2013; introduces key learning outcomes, as adapted from rubrics for civic engagement, integrative learning, and creative thinking, that may provide a set of shared student learning outcomes for high-impact projects connected to community engagement.
In this lightening talk we will reflect on the use of social media for learning, some of the
changes over the last decade and share the updated guidance to support how social media
can be used by students safely and appropriately to support their learning experience and
prepare them for employment.
A comparative sentiment analysis of human, Gary FisherSEDA
What role can generative AI, such as ChatGPT, play in producing academic content that can be taught to students? This session explores the results of a mixed-methods study
evaluating the comparative performance of human-generated and AI-generated educational materials. Through a mixture of psycholinguistic analysis of AI- and human-generated teaching content and a quantitative survey of their impact on students, we examine the capabilities and limitations of generative AI as a tool to deliver higher education.

This workshop will explore the extent to which graduate attributes are actively promoted by universities as a way to embed employability within programmes of study. Attendees will be invited to share experiences and approaches to working with graduate attributes through a
range of discussions and activities. We will seek to collaboratively explore the importance of graduate attributes and the extent to which different HEIs recognize this, and consider what
the future holds for graduate attributes.
Mentoring Graduate Teaching Assistants, Thomas RodgersSEDA
Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTAs) assume a pivotal role in enhancing the quality of
undergraduate education and influence student learning. Enabling GTAs to engage in
continuing professional development to enhance their teaching excellence is of utmost
importance. In this session, we will introduce the Mentoring Excellence program, designed to provide comprehensive support to GTAs as they undertake their application for Associate Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy (AFHEA).

Beyond belonging – building mattering into programme design, Rebecca HodgsonSEDA
Much focus is placed on belonging, but arguably what has more impact on student and staff wellbeing is knowing that we matter. 'Mattering' in higher education can be defined as
approaches and interventions which show that the university cares, and that students and
staff matter as individuals. This practical workshop will use a research-based framework and
evidence informed recommendations, providing participants with tools to design and manage programmes to enhance both student and staff experience.

Programme Leaders: co-creating support through community development, Neil FordSEDA
Programme Leaders increasingly play a critical role in the student learning experience and delivery of strategic education objectives. It is also well known that Programme Leaders face
significant challenges and often receive little support in their role. This participative workshop will investigate challenges and effective forms of development for Programme Leaders. Using examples from scoping research at the University of Southampton, participants will explore networks and communities of practice as effective forms of peer support.
Step up to presentations - the PPCP approach, Laura DyerSEDA
Presentations are a common means of communication worldwide with learners expected to engage to disseminate academic knowledge (Tsang, 2020). However, presentations
demands on students are little researched compared to written communication outputs
(Ducasse and Brown, 2023). This lightning talk will look at the complexities students need to
negotiate to communicate a successful presentation then introduce an adaptation to the
activity using the author's own theory - people, place, compassion, power or PPCP (Dyer, 2022).

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. Capturing the Student VoicePage 2
The role of students in the process of shaping the student learning
experience (through formal institutional processes for assuring and
enhancing the quality of learning and teaching, and more informal
mechanisms) has long been recognised in UK higher education (HE) and
elsewhere.
Further, the increasing marketization of higher education and continuing
drives to greater public accountability have arguably prompted renewed
institutional efforts to ensure that student voices, as consumers and
stakeholders, are listened to and their messages acted upon as
appropriate’. Little et al (2009)
