Resources have been curated into a range of Activities which have been grouped by three levels of professional practice and target audience:
1. Introductory Resources
- Who: These activities are designed for colleagues who may be new to the Scottish tertiary education sector and/or new to the concept of student partnership.
- What: Resources are designed to provide concise overviews of key topics relating to student partnership and its role within Scotland’s Tertiary Quality Enhancement Framework (TQEF).
- How: You can engage with them on an individual asynchronous (‘on demand’) basis.
2. Enhancing your own practice (at individual or session level)
- Who: These activities are designed for colleagues who are familiar with the concept of student partnership, and who are aware of the role of the Student Learning Experience (SLE) model and Scotland’s Ambition for Student Partnership as sector reference points within the Tertiary Quality Enhancement Framework (TQEF).
- What: They are designed to prompt your reflection and enhancement planning at a range of different levels (e.g. individual, session, course level).
- How: You can download resources and engage with the ‘on demand’ activities on an individual asynchronous basis.
3. Enhancing others’ practice (at course, module, programme or institutional level)
- Who: These activities are designed to support colleagues in academic development, quality, organisational development and/or students’ association teams.
- What: They are designed to support the facilitation of enhancement-focused dialogues and sessions/workshops with students and staff at their institutions, particularly around enhancement of the Student Learning Experience, and ‘strategic planning for’ or ‘evaluation of’ student partnership activities.
- How: You can download, adapt and contextualise resources and activities for your own institution.
