On Demand Webinar:
In conversation with Teesside University
Watch the discussion, facilitated by Dr Helena Lim of evasys, with senior leaders from Teesside University around the utilisation of module evaluation to achieve institutional enhancements and change.
Dr Jonathan Eaton, Dr Andrew Bingham and Elaine Fryett covered a multitude of topics surrounding survey and evaluation at Teesside, including:
Additionally, the Teesside team shared how reports and visual representations of survey data can provide a holistic overview of course performance and, when combined with other datasets, offer insights to staff into how they can enhance their practice and delivery to students and enable them to determine actions to improve outcomes for students.
Watch the webinar to find out how the module evaluation process has been used to build relationships between academic teams and students, using the student voice to enable improved communications and outcomes.
You will also discover how the ‘closing the loop’ approach adopted with the module survey and the interconnectivity with other evaluation and feedback mechanisms are of great value to determining success in the student experience.
