Workshop on

Universities around the world are increasingly being asked by governments, society and their students, to assure the quality of teaching and learning. In many cases this has led to the development of performance indicators and quality assurance systems for teaching quality.

This workshop will describe an evidence-based quality assurance system for teaching and learning, which takes as its starting point a well-researched theoretical perspective on student learning in higher education. It will outline the theoretical perspective and principal features of quality assurance strategy, systems and processes, and describe how the teaching quality assurance policy and systems can be implemented. Participants will have the opportunity to reflect on and discuss how they and their university approach the assurance of the quality teaching and learning and use evidence of teaching quality to plan improvements.
