> In January 2004 the LTSN (now the Higher Education Academy) launched a
> public discussion into the meaning of 'evidence' and 'evidence based' in
> higher education. This conference has been convened to provide an
> opportunity for the HE community to consider some of the positions
> advanced in this debate and to examine the implications and effects of
> adopting and operationalising an evidence based approach.
>
> In 2000 the HE sector agreed a policy to introduce PDP in 2005 as part of
> the HE Progress File. The HE Academy, in partnership with the Centre for
> Recording Achievement and the Institute of Education EPPI unit, has been
> involved in a programme of development work aimed at building the
> infrastructures and capacities to support an evidence based approach in
> this area of teaching and learning practice. This case study will be used
> to illuminate the central themes and issues of the conference.
