Evidence for Enhancement: Improving the Student Experience
The current Enhancement Theme is Evidence for Enhancement: Improving the Student Experience and is in its third and final year. The Theme will consider:
What information is useful to help us identify and understand what we do well and what could be improved? This information, which includes qualitative and quantitative evidence, can be used to identify the issues that would benefit from intervention, help prioritise interventions for improving the student experience, and evaluate the effectiveness of those interventions including reporting on the ways in which the student experience has been improved.
The work will be managed by QAA Scotland along with the Theme Leaders Group (TLG) which will comprise members from each higher education institution plus student members. Add a ‘More Information’ link which should link to the Evidence for Enhancement pages (see menu changes below).
