(BNG 2023) Utilising Blue to ‘Close the Feedback Loop’ with Students

Aug-01-2023

Data generated from student evaluations are a significant source of feedback for enhancing learning opportunities at UK higher education institutions. This data also plays a vital role outside the University, influencing league tables and external assessments of the institution's teaching quality. At Nottingham Trent University (NTU), one of the key purposes of gathering, analysing and using data from student evaluations is to demonstrate to students that their feedback is valued, promptly responded to and appropriately acted upon. This presentation will provide an overview of how NTU has expanded the use of Blue beyond collecting students' feedback on their teaching and learning experiences to engaging teaching teams in reflecting on that feedback and sharing those reflections in student-facing Blue reports. Successes, challenges, and lessons learned will all be shared to enable attendees to consider whether this mechanism of closing the feedback loop to students using Blue might benefit their institutions. ** Presented by** : Caroline Pickering, Nottingham Trent University
