Connect Benefit Series – Student Success: Flexible learning Summit

As part of our Connect Benefit Series on Student Success, we are seeking thought leaders and experts from across our global membership who are interested in shaping how we update and focus our Student Success Frameworks. The Frameworks explore key themes that impact student success: Employability, Access, Retention, Attainment and Progression, Flexible Learning, Internationalising Higher education, Assessment and Feedback, and Student Engagement through Partnership.

These themes cannot be viewed in isolation, either from each other or other institutional priorities and challenges such as digital practice, accessibility, authentic assessment, and sustainability that have gained pace over the last five years.

The aim of the summits is for members to discuss practical, evidence-based approaches to enhance the student's experience, providing links and connections to wider areas of student success while still considering the specific theme under consideration.

The summits will:

Gather key questions and challenges in this area
Crowdsource ideas and solutions to influence any future update to the student success framework series
Discuss ways to put into practice effective examples and methods and to consider each thematic area through wider lenses

Flexible Learning Summit

With consideration to the recently commissioned literature review on Flexible learning (2016 – 2021) this summit will offer colleagues an interactive opportunity to reflect on this key and topical thematic area.

The review provides an insight into literature, and amongst other areas, highlights the use of technology and/or technology-dependent initiatives (e.g. artificial intelligence and learning analytics) as a prominent enabler of flexible learning. In addition, the review puts a spotlight on how educators are actively experimenting with different combinations of pedagogies within their flexible learning curricula.

The summit is an interactive event specifically designed to gather colleagues views and perceptions of the review, as well as providing a platform to discuss the interconnection between Advance HE’s framework components, ensuring any future iteration of the Framework Series is not considered in isolation.

All colleagues at Advance HE member institutions can attend this summit free of charge; please share this webpage with your colleagues. In order to accommodate as many colleagues as possible, the same summit will also run at the following times:
