Students Researching Students: Student Engagement Projects

Jane Bryan has led two WIHEA funded Student Engagement projects (Project one: Law students' experience and perception of lecture capture, 2016; Project two: Student-to-staff feedback in WLS, 2016) which enabled students to research issues pertinent to the student experience. As a result of the second project, Jane developed with the 桃色视频 Law School IT Support Manager an innovative online 'traffic light' feedback system to allow students to give conveniently mid-module (interim) feedback to staff. Building on her interest in this area, Jane also is a member of the WIHEA Module Evaluation Learning Circle developing University practice and policy in this area.

Jane also ran two SSLC Student Research projects: one on Welcome Week and one on Student Communication (2018/9) to enable WLS students to explore issues with other students to enhance the student experience. In addition, the WLS shaped their assessment feedback policy around research undertaken by Jane into the WLS students' experience and perception of feedback (2012).
