Description
An online workshop for university students - part of a series of workshops (commissioned by the Scottish Funding Council) - to redevelop the Student Learning Experience (SLE) model. The workshop explored what a good Student Learning Experience means for students currently studying across Scotland's universities.
Please note that there was also a separate workshop for college students, taking place on 29th November. Students at tertiary institutions (UHI and SRUC) were welcome to sign up to either this workshop or the college workshop.
This was a really exciting opportunity for students to be involved in a national project and to ensure that the voices of students was heard in the process. Students were not required to prepare anything in advance of the workshop – all that sparqs asked was that attendees came ready to speak all about their own learning experience - what they enjoyed about their course, what could be better, and what matters most to them as a student.
The updated SLE model will form a key part of the sector’s new quality framework in universities and colleges. This framework will put the experiences of students at the centre of discussions institutions have about the quality of their learning and teaching.
Alongside the university and college cross-institutional workshops offered centrally, we also put out a call to institutions to host their own workshops. Therefore, students may also have received communication from their institution to sign up to a workshop hosted on-campus. Anyone wishing to check if their institution was hosting a workshop before signing up to one of sparqs’ cross-institutional online events, was invited to contact admin@sparqs.ac.uk.

The event hashtag for all of the SLE workshops, for use on Twitter, was #sparqsSLE
The link for the workshop was open from 1.45pm, and the meeting itself began at 2.00pm and finished by 4.00pm. It was free to join, and details of the joining instructions were circulated in due course to those who registered.
All delegates were required to register, in order that we knew numbers and could keep the event secure.
