Impact of learning over time – on careers, on habits of lifelong learning, on
community involvement and benefits.
Engagement as one of the key drivers for quality.
Innovative, flexible, effectively using technology for learning, teaching, analytics and
assessment or engaging students with practical applications of the content.
In re-thinking the approach to quality, we should ask ourselves
How do the students experience their learning
How do faculty experience their teaching?
Focus on outcomes in more depth.
But moreover, on efficacy, impact, availability, accuracy and excellence
… need to move to a much more experiential and outcome-based view of quality if
it is to be the engine of transformation.
