Student engagement – what’s it all about?

Is your institution developing strategies and activities to engage its students? Find out about some of the innovative approaches in other institutions, how they overcame challenges, and the benefits of their work.

In June 2009, we held a student engagement workshop to hear directly from higher education providers about the innovative approaches they have taken to engage students in quality assurance and enhancement. Staff from higher education institutions as well as student representatives attended the event to share their own experiences, listen to others, and to take some new ideas back to their institutions.

These films were recorded at this event, and the content is entirely the participants’ own views.
