Turning University Education into Flexible Innovation: Experiences from the Pandemic (AdvanceHE ‘Insight Event’)

September 7, 2021 @ 9:30 am - 12:30 pm

Delivered in partnership with the University of Exeter, this AdvanceHE event will explore the process of supporting a university community through the transition of the last 12 months.
 
We will discuss how educators, professional services colleagues and students have been engaged and supported on the basis of institutional principles that promote local innovation and consistency. We will also explore key themes emerging from student feedback, including around belonging and connectedness within a learning community, and the relationship of these to confidence, wellbeing and attainment. Looking ahead, we will discuss the opportunities to address these issues next year and in the longer term, as part of holistic approaches to tackling key priorities such as wellbeing, mental health and the accessibility of education.
 
The session will be facilitated by Professor Tim Quine (Deputy Vice-Chancellor – Education), Professor Janice Kay CBE (Provost) and Professor Rob Freathy (Academic Dean for Students) from the University of Exeter.
 
This event is the first of a series of ‘Insight Events’ offered by AdvanceHE. Drawing on findings from selected AdvanceHE reports and surveys, these sessions will offer further insights and analysis into correlations between areas such as race, ethnicity and religion and awarding gaps, the student experience and governance.
