Why is it important?

The results help universities understand what they’re doing well and where there’s room for development, so they can improve the student learning experience. Some examples include:

• Enhanced staff-student communications

• Reviewed/developed feedback systems and methods of assessment

• Improved support measures such as personal tutorial sessions and enhanced induction programmes

• Made timetable improvements and explored course content and design

• Reviewed and improved access to IT resources, study spaces and text books/e-books

• Provided additional study opportunities to develop key skills and offered enhanced careers support.
