A key commitment in Advance HE’s new strategy is to explore the potential of a holistic approach to EDI that will support members to focus on those equalities that matter most to them.

Newcastle University is undertaking a consultation with the HE sector to inform our next steps. The Newcastle team is particularly interested to speak to EDI and charters practitioners to ensure their views and experience are included in this research, including to understand whether a new form of EDI accreditation would be of interest to them, what potential opportunities and risks they anticipate, and what they would like to see within any new approach.

How do universities go about building useful insights to help us understand how successful we are at our research endeavours? Planning, data, and analytics teams traditionally support educational institutional analytics, but the era of supporting academic research institutional analytics is here!

We invite you to join us in having a ConvAAIRsation about:

• how you do this at your institution
• sharing the pressing questions that you hope other institutions can help answer
• identifying how we can leverage each others’ experiences to learn to do better at building useful insights for our research communities.

Institutions and individual practitioners face new and ongoing challenges in providing effective, rigorous, and inclusive assessment and feedback to learners. This two-part workshop from Advance HE will introduce the latest literature, practitioner learning, and sector insights to support participants develop their reflective and innovative practice. ‘Feedback’ and ‘assessment’ will be examined both as distinct areas of challenge and development, and as related elements of student learning. Participants will also have the opportunity to critically apply their learning to a ‘live’ assignment or practice used in their institution.
