The revisedQAA Code of Practice for HEIs - Governance for all work placement activity - Louise Sparshatt & Meg Hartley-Clarke
The Code... • What is it? • So what's changed? (the three parts) • The review process: • what will happen and when • how you can prepare • Our concern today - Part B, specifically B10: managing higher education provision with others
Placement practitioners are often not experts in quality assurance and enhancement... • ASET - the national association for work-based and placement learning • ASET/QAA collaboration • 'Sound' practice • Fit for purpose, tailored, proportional and (risk-) managed approach • Typology - what do we mean by 'placement'?
Typology • Company visits • Insight days • Internships/Vacation placements • Practice placements • Projects • Sandwich placements • Semester placements • Semester or year abroad • Work shadowing • Work based award
B10: managing HE provision with others • Focus = management and oversight by the HEI, irrespective of location or provider • 1-4: Strategy and governance • 5-10: Developing, agreeing and managing arrangements to deliver learning opportunities with others • 11-12: Responsibility for and equivalence of academic standards • 13-17: Quality assurance • 18: Information for students, delivery organisations, providers or partners • 19: Certificates and records of study
Where to start... • QAA.ac.uk • ASET's Good Practice Guide • typology • checklists (before, during, after) • basis for a dynamic tookit
Resources • AQS - Quality Officers • Corporate placement management system project • SBS exercise to benchmark and action plan against B10 • ASET (asetonline.org, LinkedIn) • QAA (qaa.ac.uk, LinkedIn)
