Innovative perspectives and approaches for enhancing the student experience

About

This project builds capacity of higher education institutions by developing new perspectives and approaches for enhancing the student experience. To effectively manage the student experience, institutions must understand who students are and what they expect from higher education. Students have changed in the 21st century and institutions need to understand and pivot to enhance their experience. Much current work has conceptual and technical limitations and is failing to deliver.

Aim

This project aimed to bring sustainable strategic change through improving institutional capacity to enhance the 21st-century student experience by:

• building new concepts for understanding Australia's higher education students;
• identifying new data sources and approaches for measuring the student experience; and
• engaging institutions in enhancement work and new conversations about students.
