Quality in HE: Sectoral Findings & Enhancement Showcase 2024
QQI’s annual quality reporting (AQR) process provides a unique window into the broad spectrum of quality assurance and enhancement activity across the Irish higher education system.
On 2 October 2024, QQI hosted its second annual event to showcase a selection of the quality enhancement case studies submitted by higher education institutions as part of the AQR in 2024.
This in-person event, taking place in the Radisson Blu Royal Hotel, Dublin, 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.
Enhancement activities in this year’s AQRs encompassed a wide range of themes, including:
- Enhancement of teaching, learning and assessment;
- Digitisation and the use of data in quality enhancement; and
- Widening access to higher education
- A keynote address by Professor Claire Hamshire, Associate Pro Vice-Chancellor, Education & Student Experience, University of Salford: “Taking a long view towards quality improvement: an intentional approach to solving wicked problems and improving student experience”;
- A thematic overview of annual quality reporting in 2024; and
- An opportunity for attendees to contribute to a workshop on QQI’s future approach to quality monitoring.
