QAA publishes findings from learning outcomes project

Date: May 7 - 2021

The outcomes of our latest project - 'Learning from the Online Pivot: Approaches to aligning assessment and learning outcomes for student success' - identify what worked well and what is likely to continue as part of sector practice beyond the pandemic. 

QAA commissioned this project which has been undertaken by Professor Elizabeth Cleaver and Professor Mike McLinden, independent higher education consultants. We have now published a briefing paper - A Launch Pad for Future Success: Using Outcomes-Based Approaches to Scaffold the Pandemic Year and Build for the Future - to provide an outline of the project findings which include:

  • What matters? Reaffirming the role of outcomes-based approaches
  • What works? Exploring preliminary sector survey findings
  • What happened? A preview of our sector case studies
  • What’s next?

The interim findings and case studies introduced in the briefing note form part of a wider set of insights and resources which will be made available to QAA Members in June 2021.
