QAA Scotland’s Enhancement Conference was held in June 2022 with a hybrid format offering the opportunity to attend in person in Glasgow or participate online.
The programme featured a refreshing and versatile mix of live and pre-prepared content
to allow both synchronous and asynchronous engagement. It included a range of speakers and activities relating to our current Enhancement Theme, Resilient Learning Communities, following two main strands:
Day 1 - Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
Learners have a wide range of characteristics, experience, needs and expectations. How do we support our diverse learning communities in 2022 and beyond, ensuring that individual learners have equity of opportunity and that all learning environments are inclusive?
Day 2 - Flexible and Accessible Learning
Flexible and accessible approaches to learning and teaching, as well as flexible pathways into and through higher education are more important than ever recognising individual learner journeys across students lifetimes. The pandemic has accelerated changes across the sector faster than ever before. What changes are here to stay and what can be improved?
