Framework for Access, Retention, Attainment and Progression

Wednesday 23 October 2024, 12:00 (BST), 11:00 (UTC)

These four interconnected elements define the foundations for student success. They each depend on fostering a sense of belonging and actively engaging students with their programme and the wider institution, enabling students to thrive throughout their higher education.

Framework for Enhancing Assessment

Wednesday 4 December 2024
Session 1: 08:00 – 09:00 (UTC)
Session 2: 12:00 – 13:00 (UTC)

Assessment and feedback practices are at the core of higher education (HE). Assessment provides judgement so it needs to be valid and reliable. It also supports student learning and feedback, so it should be designed to promote desirable learning behaviours, develop subject-specific and professional competencies, as well as other graduate attributes.

Join host Vic Stephenson, Senior Consultant (Education) at Advance HE along with panellists as they discuss how the Framework for Enhancing Assessment can help you to better student learning and satisfaction through enhancing processes, policies and practices.

Framework for Flexible Learning

Wednesday 22 January 2025
Session 1: 08:00 – 09:00 (UTC)
Session 2: 12:00 – 13:00 (UTC)

Recognising that students’ needs, aspirations and commitments can evolve throughout their course, flexible learning ensures an engaging, personalised experience, supporting all students in reaching their potential.

Join host Dr Kay Hack, Principal Consultant (Education) at Advance HE along with panellists as they discuss how making the Framework for Flexible Learning part of your approach can positively impact student recruitment, retention and progression, while widening participation and supporting an agile workforce.

Framework for Internationalising Higher Education

Wednesday 26 March 2025
Session 1: 08:00 – 09:00 (UTC)
Session 2: 12:00 – 13:00 (UTC)

Internationalising higher education (HE) is an ongoing, institution-wide commitment to fostering a globally aware and inclusive learning environment. This process encompasses all aspects of HE, from teaching and learning to research and collaboration. Internationalisation benefits all HE students, regardless of their location, background, discipline, or mode of study.

Join Professor Mark O’Hara, Senior Consultant (Education) at Advance HE along with panellists to discuss how the Framework for Internationalising Higher Education can be used to support institutions to attract diverse talent and enhance research relevance through broader partnerships, strengthening credibility and providing evidence for future progress in both teaching and research.

Framework for Embedding Employability

Session 1: 08:00 – 09:00 (BST, UTC+1)
Session 2: 12:00 – 13:00 (BST, UTC+1)

Employability, in the higher education context, is about ensuring that students have the knowledge, skills, and experiences they need to be successful in their future, whether that be within employment, enterprise creation, further study or beyond. 

Join host Stuart Norton, Senior Consultant (Education) at Advance HE along with panellists as they discuss how the Framework for Embedding Employability can be used to enhance student outcomes significantly through embedding employability into the curriculum and into the culture of the whole institution

Framework for Inclusive Learning and Teaching

Wednesday 23 July 2025
Session 1: 08:00 – 09:00 (BST, UTC+1)
Session 2: 12:00 – 13:00 (BST, UTC+1)

Inclusive learning and teaching is the intentional development of approaches that support all our students to thrive. This is a foundation for quality teaching in general; our teaching is only fit for purpose if it works for the diverse range of students at our institutions and treats them all like they matter. Rather than an end goal, inclusion is a mindset which promotes critical thinking and cultural transformation. 

Join host Dr Elliott Spaeth, Senior Consultant (EDI) at Advance HE along with panellists to discuss how the Framework for Inclusive Learning and Teaching can help you to rethink processes, practices and policies, and culture to ensure a high quality, fit for purpose, education for all.
