11th Annual Learning, Teaching & Assessment Conference 11 July 2012
We invite proposals from University of Bradford staff for sessions exploring aspects of improving student attainment. Ensuring students achieve potential has always been an important aspect of the learner experience; however, the introduction of Key Information Sets (KIS) from September 2012, the increasing significance of league table results, and the current competitive job market etc, makes a more compelling case for institutions to demonstrate commitment to improving the standard of achievement. We are interested in hearing about the range of approaches and activities you engage in and their impact on student attainment.
