Anne Bremner, Director of Learning & Teaching 19/3/18 LTR0318/5 Report to the Learning, Teaching & Research Committee on 21st March 2018 Director of Learning & Teaching Report 1. Revised SFC College Quality Arrangements and College HMIe An evaluation of the first year of the new arrangements has been carried out and additional guidance for implementation in 2017/18 is awaited from SFC/Education Scotland. Guidance for 2018/19 and beyond will be worked on at a later date by the Quality Steering Group, which has representation from colleges, SFC and Education Scotland. Our college HMIe has changed following a review of responsibilities within Education Scotland. Barbara Nelson, HMIe has taken over from Andrew Brawley HMIe, who will retain a regional perspective as lead HMIE for the UHI region in line with the newly- formed Regional Improvement Collaboratives (RIC), recently set up by the Deputy First Minister and Education Secretary John Swinney. Barbara was previously a depute principal at Angus College, with a specialist interest in pedagogical research, and comes from a background in Business and Administration. She was also an experienced Associate Assessor with Education Scotland prior to taking up her current role as an Inspector of Education. Barbara visited the college on 15th March for the day as part of the handover arrangements. She was keen to find out more about the college and its context and identify how she can support us in the coming year. Provisional dates for visits in May, June, July and September have been set and it is likely that Barbara will wish to attend a Board LTR committee meeting at some point, possibly in June. 2. Student Targets V Actual Update 2017/18 Target Actual (to date) Variance HE UG 401.4 412.5 +11.1 (FTEs) PGT 7.5 18.3 +10.8 PGDE 7 7 0 FE 12555 11523 -1032 (Credits) (12400 core + 155 ESIF) Key:- UG – undergraduate (Scottish and EU) PGT – Post Graduate taught (all categories of student home location) Anne Bremner, Director of Learning & Teaching 19/3/18 LTR0318/5 PGDE - Professional Graduate Diploma in Education The current HE FTEs total is higher than our final outturn in 2016/17 and is now very close to our year end projection of 413 FTEs, which we anticipate that we will exceed. Our target for 2018/19 for UG has been set at 339.8 FTEs. This allows for further growth anticipated in programmes being rolled out in Golf, Film and Creative Writing. For FE, we are still below target, however, a detailed analysis of credits still to materialise for the remainder of the year has been completed. We are hopeful that we will reach target, however a further review will be completed at the end of April once the flexible equine provision has been entered in to the system. At this point it is not anticipated that measures will be required to produce additional activity to meet target. Anne Bremner, Director of Learning & Teaching 19/3/18 LTR0318/5 3. PI Initial Overview The SFC published individual college PIs, regional and sector PIs for 2016/17 at the end of February, much later than originally planned. Our draft 16/17 data was benchmarked in the Education Scotland evaluative report (ER) against the 2015/16 SFC published PI data. Work has begun to benchmark our position against the sector and the UHI region 16/17 published data. 16/17 data in the following categories has been confirmed:- 14/15 15/16 16/17 Varianc e % % % Completed Successful - Full time 73.8 73.1 71.4 -1.7 Completed Successful – Part time 71.9 74.6 68.9 -5.7 Completed Partial Success - Full time 11.2 8.7 7.7 -1.0 Completed Partial Success – Part time 13.8 13.9 13.2 -0.7 Further Withdrawal - Full time 10.2 12.3 15.4 +3.1 Further Withdrawal – Part time 7.1 5.6 9.3 +3.7 Early Withdrawal - Full time 4.8 5.9 5.5 -0.4 Early Withdrawal – Part time 7.2 5.9 8.7 +2.8 A more detailed PI analysis and up to date benchmarking will now be provided to the June LTR meeting. Note for variance column – Green indicates improvement in PI, Red a poorer PI. 4. Regional Curriculum Activity and Strategy Groups A number of NHC staff are currently involved in the development of a Single Policy Environment for FE, led by Diane Rawlinson, Vice Principal FE (UHI). The intention of this project is to reduce duplication of effort, streamline working practice and bring a greater level of consistency to our FE student experience. At present, NHC staff are involved in groups looking at the admissions, student funding, fee waiver, core/essential skills, learner support policies and various work streams looking at harmonising quality assurance and enhancement arrangements. The quality areas being addressed include self-evaluation processes (course and support areas), data Anne Bremner, Director of Learning & Teaching 19/3/18 LTR0318/5 and PI reporting, development of learning and teaching related strategies, evaluation of learning and teaching (peer review), capturing and sharing best practice in L&T and approaches to student engagement, including student surveys. The college and university sector have been set clear expectations to improve their progress in key strategic areas set out by the Scottish Funding Council and Scottish Government. This includes access and inclusion, apprenticeships, employability, Developing the Young Workforce, gender imbalances and improving national attainment. Regional and, where appropriate, college cluster strategy groups, involving NHC staff, have been set up within the UHI partnership to support the achievement of Further Education Regional Outcome Agreement targets in these key areas of ‘intensification’. This includes reducing the disparity in attainment across the UHI colleges and improving the regional performance against national benchmarks, not just in mainstream attainment, but for certain learner groups such as care experienced learners; SIMD 10, increasing the number of students with meaningful and substantial work experience and increasing the number of students with positive destinations. Regional tertiary curriculum working groups are in operation across most subject areas across the UHI partnership, jointly chaired by a UHI Subject Network Leader and member of the FE Senior Curriculum Management Team (SMCT). The groups are charged with ensuring the curriculum remains fit for purpose, identifying gaps/curriculum in need of review. There is also a need to simplify the marketing of tertiary provision across the UHI, particularly at FE level to provide potential students with clear curriculum pathways/progression routes they can follow in pursuit of their chosen careers. 5. Development of New Strategies The college is currently preparing a progress report on the implementation of its Corporate Parenting Plan. An update on progress has also been requested by the Scottish Government Minister for Childcare and Early Years, Maree Todd to enable her to report to the government on national progress in this area.

  • UNIVERSITY of the HIGHLANDS and ISLANDS UNDERGRADUATE PROSPECTUS 2019 We Give You the Chance to Do Something Different; Something Special
    Undergraduate Prospectus 2019 Do something different www.uhi.ac.uk Join us for the chance to do something special; to be inspired by our unique landscape, stunning study locations and innovative teaching methods, and we will help you to achieve your ambitions. Our network of colleges and research centres, spread across the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, offers you a natural and supportive environment for your studies. The University of the Highlands and Islands looks forward to welcoming you. Everyone is different. It’s a scientific fact. Different interests, situations and dreams. Wherever you are starting from or whatever you are hoping to achieve, we can help you get there. Everything is flexible in this university: location, access and programme of study I couldn’t get anywhere else. The University of the Highlands and Islands stands out from other universities because of its incredible locations. I went directly into the second year as I’d already done a year at Glasgow University, I’m from the Highlands and preferred the style of teaching here. I started on the NC Art and Design and spent a month exchange in Norway, I learned so much, and have progressed my studies to degree level. The course allowed me to work for real clients and has certainly opened up plenty of doors as a result. I'm now studying an MSc in climate change at the University of Copenhagen, however UHI will always be my home university. If you have a dream this university will give you the tools and ability to go on and achieve it.
