Hi Emma We have done some work in this area at Manchester. We've published one paper on it and have a reasonably robust set of evaluation metrics in place as well. We are also looking at modifying our data dashboards to allow us to understand the engagement, experience and impact of key cohorts and around specific risk areas (to help us support institution-wide work and also allow us to navigate things like the APP). Happy to have a chat! (The paper is here https://journal.aldinhe.ac.uk/index.php/jldhe/article/view/540) Best wishes Jennie Jennie Blake l NTF PFHEA | (pronouns: she/her) | Head of Teaching and Learning Development l The University of Manchester Library l Academic Lead (Student Success) for the University Institute of Teaching and Learning | The University of Manchester l Oxford Road l Manchester l M13 9PP l [cid:94f1593a-cc96-448b-b2df-584840cd07d2] <https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennieblake/> l Chat with me on Teams<https:[log in to unmask]> ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1553-4737 On Bluesky: @jnyrose.bsky.social On Mastodon: @[log in to unmask] [cid:0d251b93-6269-4bb1-80d9-e250e679dceb][cid:5ef716a5-47e7-437d-83f9-74fdf838be01]<https://www.staffnet.manchester.ac.uk/umitl/> ________________________________ From: Online forum for SEDA, the Staff & Educational Development Association <[log in to unmask]> on behalf of Emma Dempsey <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Tuesday, March 5, 2024 2:32 PM To: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Measuring the Impact of Academic Skills Intervention Hi everyone, I'm an Academic Learning Developer (within the Library) at the University of Westminster, and I'm currently working on a project, as part of our EDI policy, to reduce the continuation gaps (awarding gaps) amongst students with protected characteristics. As such, I'd be very interested to know if any of your organisations have ever implemented any processes for measuring the impact of your Academic Learning Development teams' interventions on all students and more specifically on those with protected characteristics. In this case, I refer to all academic skills support areas, including academic writing, effective reading, presenting, research skills and referencing, for example. Historically, it's always been challenging to measure the impact of academic skills interventions systematically and at a university-wide level. Also, defining how we measure impact is a primary challenge. If you have any information regarding the above or know anyone else, within or outside your institution, who might be able to help, I'd be very grateful. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, and I look forward to any thoughts on the above.
