Surveys, measurement tools, metrics and the wider insight that such tools generate have a key role to play in helping maximise the reach and quality of provision within the sector. By gathering and acting on such insight, institutions, sector agencies, researchers and policymakers can work together to help students maximise their potential.
This symposium provides an opportunity to discuss and debate the potential of insight from surveys, metrics, qualitative research and wider methods of capturing the voice of the student for driving excellence and enhancement within higher education. The conference will feature a keynote speaker alongside oral presentations and workshops from HE practitioners, survey officers and academics.
Date: 28 April 2022
Location: the studio, Manchester
Who: Surveys officers, HE practitioners responsible for student engagement and satisfaction, researchers and HE data analysts
2022 Theme - Innovative Insight
This symposium will provide the opportunity to showcase innovative approaches and techniques in Surveys and Insight, which have in turn generated innovative actions and solutions. So what do we mean by innovation?
Surveys, measurement tools, qualitative research and other research techniques have a key role to play in capturing and understanding feedback from students and staff. Sometimes these tools can involve tried and trusted approaches that can be very successful, but they can also be truly innovative.
The core technique itself does not have to be “new” or different” but elements of the approach might be. For example, using new technologies, different ways of approaching the audiences, analysing feedback or disseminating the findings in a way that influences practice. Surveys themselves can involve truly innovative thinking in their design and implementation, as can a range of other qualitative and quantitative research or data capture techniques delivered or analysed in new and different ways.
At the heart of it all is the impact. What is it about the innovative methods that have driven real change in the quality of provision and/ or the student experience – and what has this meant for staff, students, institutions?
The Advance HE Surveys & Insights Symposium provides an opportunity to showcase this, bringing together keynote speakers, papers, posters and workshops to explore real examples of innovative approaches to gathering feedback from undergraduates, postgraduates and staff.
The symposium also provides an opportunity for networking and helping to foster discussions which will be beneficial across the sector. Past delegates have included colleagues from higher education institutions with an academic as well as professional services / support / student experience focus, together with representatives from sector agencies, charitable organisations, research and policy bodies, as well as providers of research and insight services.
