Learning, teaching and assessment

Championing digital innovation for more inclusive student experiences and better outcomes.

Empowering digital practice

The world has changed and so has education. Everything from assessment and curriculum design to how we use our physical spaces and access digital resources is being redefined.

Access the latest intelligence, resources and services to support the transformation of digital practice in learning, teaching and assessment at your organisation. We can help you identify good practice, avoid waste and duplicated effort – and save money on your investment in technology. You can also get involved with communities to shape developments across the sector, from student experience to harnessing the latest technologies.

Enhancing support for international students

International students can often struggle with unfamiliar systems and processes when arriving in the UK, impacting their wellbeing and academic performance. To support the HE sector in providing an equitable learning experience, our research is going beyond access, and considering cultural and digital expectations and differences.

Inspiring learning experiences

Immersive technologies such as extended reality (XR) are empowering students to take control of their learning and getting them ready for a competitive jobs market.

Our extended reality report explores the experimentation, investment, and adoption of XR across the UK’s post-16 education sector. It aims to understand the perceived benefits, challenges and varied applications.
