Wednesday 24th March 2021 - 1pm
Following on from our eBook, “Engaging the student voice in our ‘new normal’: How are universities planning to capture, and act upon, feedback from students in 2020-21?”, which we published in November 2020, we are undertaking research amongst students’ union representatives with responsibility for the student voice about their views on the course/module evaluation and feedback process, how it is working generally and how student voice is being captured and responded to during the first semester of 2020-21 (in the context of Covid), and what universities need to do differently going forward. At this session we will share exclusively, and for the first time, the findings from our insight with students’ union teams in the UK and Ireland.
