Quality in HE: Sectoral Findings & Enhancement Showcase

to

Annual quality reporting plays an important role within QQI’s quality assurance monitoring framework for higher education providers. It is intended to provide evidence to QQI that quality assurance procedures are being implemented and highlights the broad spectrum of quality enhancement initiatives that institutions have undertaken during the reporting period.

This event, which will be of interest to staff across the higher education system, provided a thematic overview of annual quality reporting in 2023 and showcased a selection of the quality enhancement case studies submitted by higher education institutions. It provided opportunities for reflection and peer learning for higher education staff from across the public and private/independent sectors on a diverse range of quality enhancement initiatives, including:

  • Quality Assurance & Enhancement of Work Placements
  • Student Engagement & Student Voice
  • Access, Mobility & Progression
  • Teaching, Learning & Assessment

The outcome of an Independent Evaluation of the QQI Annual Quality Reporting Model was also considered, along with how it might be refined.
