Launch of new student engagement network
Staff and students are invited to get involved in a new network which aims to enhance student engagement in learning and teaching.
The Edinburgh Network: Growing Approaches to Genuine Engagement – or ENGAGE – aims to bring together those interested in creating meaningful interactions between students and staff, focused on learning, teaching and assessment.
Meetings will include sharing of ideas, research and practice, and offer space for discussion and collegial support.
Whether you are interested in enhancing student engagement in learning and teaching from the student or staff perspective, you are welcome to come along to engage meetings.
