Abstract

The collection of feedback from students on their teaching and learning constitutes an essential part of their University experience. However, many of the traditional feedback mechanisms do not  promote genuine engagement by – and co-ownership of the process with – the student body. We propose to co-create with our students a comprehensive and inclusive portfolio of innovative feedback mechanisms and resources that will be both general and customisable to the needs of specific Schools across the University. Particular attention will be paid to closing the feedback loop  with students, as well as to amplifying the voices of oftentimes disenfranchised student cohorts.
