Education Insight

Education Insight is a team that covers both Student Surveys and Student Module Evaluation and works within Education Enhancement. We run a number of institutional surveys at Strathclyde as well as manage the University's Student Module Evaluation system. We read and analyse the results of these surveys and report on them to University senior management, committees, Heads of Department and programme leaders. We highlight areas of concern, areas of good practice and provide in-depth, detailed information of the survey results in aggregate format for use in enhancing the student experience across the University.

Education Technology

As part of the Education Enhancement directorate, the Education Technology team supports and enhances the Strathclyde educational experience through the use of technology.  The team aims to provide leading-edge technology development, as well as guidance and support to enable the effective integration of technology into the university’s pedagogy, teaching and learning practices.

Education Technology is a multidisciplinary team formed by a partnership between Information Services (IS) and Education Enhancement (EE).  Our team members are multi-skilled - with combined professional expertise in application development, analysis, learning design, learning technology, project management and client support. 

The Education Technology team is responsible for providing central support for users of the University's virtual learning environment, Myplace, developing and maintaining the Myplace service, delivering new functionalities and an enhanced user experience, as well as providing advice on the affordances and use of digital learning technologies.

The Graduate & Degree Apprenticeship (GADA) team based within the Education Enhancement directorate support faculties with all aspects of apprenticeship delivery including compliance requirements, funding management, reporting, quality assurance and external engagement. We ensure a consistent approach across the institution to apprenticeship delivery to ensure a high-quality experience for employers and apprentices. At the University, we deliver Graduate Apprenticeships in Scotland and Degree Apprenticeships in England and are expanding our portfolio to cater for an international market. The GADA team also provides support for Flexible Education, in particular work-based learning programmes such as Upskilling modules.
