Resilient Learning Communities

During each Enhancement Theme, Scottish higher education institutions (HEIs) participated in a wide range of activities. Each HEI worked on activities that were based on their own priorities and ambitions within the scope of the Theme. We then published a range of reports that highlighted the variety and richness of this work.

 

We evaluated the work of the Theme and reported on its effectiveness. This helped us understand how we were making a difference to the student experience and helped identify learning that we then carried forward into future Theme activity.

The following were identified as key areas of priority for the Theme overall:


  • Community-building and fostering a sense of belonging
  • Wellbeing and mental health
  • The use of technology; online and blended learning
  • Accessibility
  • Equality, diversity and inclusion (a mix of targeted work to support particular groups of students, and more general work that reaches beyond protected characteristics)
  • The needs of specific student groups, such as postgraduate (taught and research), part-time and distance-learning students
  • Decolonising the curriculum
  • Broader curriculum development; developing greater flexibility
  • Retention and progression
  • Coaching, mentoring and peer support for students; peer-enabled activity
  • Enhancing skills development for students and staff, including employability and the use of micro-credentials.
