How did Scottish higher education respond to the COVID-19 pandemic? What did the pivot to digital education mean for quality processes, policy, regulation, governance and decision-making, with respect to learning, teaching and assessment? How might learning from this experience help us to continue to shape quality assurance and enhancement processes.

This project aimed to extend our evidence base of the Scottish sector’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic with a thorough analysis of key information sources. Focused on identifying common practices and distinctive approaches to changes in discharging quality processes, the project was intended to serve as both an historical record and a means to further understanding of the sector’s resilience in the face of challenge.
