Feedback • I like the fact that the guidance is in place for new Tutors and new employers to read
Feedback • I found this to be useful to work through. There is plenty of structure to it and it sets out quite clearly the process to be followed at various stages.
Feedback • This is a fantastic resource that prevents tutors re-inventing the same resource/paper work time and time again, it can be adapted to many level and courses
QAA… • “the collaboration between University and partner college staff in JISC-funded projects, which has had the effect of enhancing the Universities relationship with its partners and of improving e-learning support for students"
