QAA Quality Insights Conference 2022
4-25 February 2022, online
Introduction (courtesy of the QAA)
“This is a pivotal moment for higher education as we begin to emerge from the pandemic mitigations to consider future modes and models. Providers and educators have proven their tenacity and ingenuity, reimagining the design and delivery of higher education for students who continue to learn in unpredictable circumstances. What will lasting change look like?
We have seen innovation and positive change, creating opportunities from the move to digital and hybrid delivery. Beyond the format of delivery, there are future approaches to the design of higher education that will help all students realise their ambitions, including the approach to assessing students and the need to ensure provision is inclusive.
Join the QAA team at Innovative Approaches to Quality, Assessment and Inclusion as we explore imaginative directions for the future of higher education.”
