Principles to Practice:
Enhancing Student Engagement
Welcome to our CPD resources on Enhancing Student Engagement at the University of Portsmouth.
A focus upon student engagement in higher education is a long-standing practice as a means for enhancement in UK Higher Education. Providing an engaging higher education experience is a core theme across Academic Development and these sessions will also expand further on the key theories and agendas around student engagement to give colleagues a road map for developing student engagement in your context. These sessions will offer a foundation of understanding of student engagement and multiple top tips for enhancing student engagement in your academic or service context. Further sessions will draw on literature to explore measuring student engagement, and several best practices on a variety of approaches to engage the student voice and practice co-design.
Please use the links to explore the Principles to Practice CPD sessions as well as the supporting resources that include relevant publications, guidance notes, reading lists, and links to presentations from previous mini-fests.
