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.
Find out about our international students' digital experience research project.
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.
Connect with others in the learning and teaching community
Join a community of learning and teaching professionals to share your experiences and learn from others. You could join the student experience experts' group or the accessibility community group. We also have communities based in your region.
Beyond blended: rethinking curriculum and learning design
Our guide aims to help curriculum teams consider the pedagogic differences between in place and online learning, and the need to balance flexibility with the specific needs of students.
