>> How are you? My name is Christina Yan Zhang, International Students Officer from National Union of Students, representing all international students study in the UK.

>> In NUS, we are also very keen on the employability issue. My personal interest is on the global employability of all students. There are 2.4 million students study in UK HEIs at this moment. Nearly 1 million people aged from 18-21 unemployed. Around 20,000 graduate level jobs available in the UK. I don’t know if we should start to look at enhance the global employability of UK students so that we they could also look for opportunities outside the UK when the job market in the UK is not easy at this moment. I am very keen to working with all the experts in the email list to enhance the global employability of UK students.

>> A quick note, do we have a minutes for the meeting which took place on 04th Nov? It will be quite useful if the minutes of that meeting could be made available so that we could also have a look and contribute. How does that sound to you all?

>> Your early reply and warmhearted help will be highly appreciated.

>> 主题: Evaluating your teaching innovation
>>
>> Dear all,
>>
>> At the employability developers' day in Liverpool yesterday, Trish Lunt ran an interesting session on measuring the impact of employability interventions on our students (thanks Trish!). We discussed a range of issues, in particular who we are evaluating for, and how (and what) we should evaluate. There are of course always difficulties in evaluating the impact of measures designed to develop student 'skills', but these difficulties are not unique to employability interventions.
>>
>> With that in mind, I thought you may find the following document helpful.
>> "A Guide to Practice: Evaluating your Teaching Innovation", by Ivan Moore.
>> http://www.hestem.ac.uk/sites/default/files/evaluating_your_teaching_innovation.pdf
>>
>> Ivan was previously Director of the Centre for Learner Autonomy (one of the SHU CETLs) and is a strong and articulate advocate of experiential learning. He is now HE Curriculum Advisor for the Royal Academy of Engineering, and has published the document above as part of the National HE STEM programme.
>>
>> Despite the apparent engineering focus, I think you'll find this document universally relevant. It is intended for evaluating the impact of a project (specifically the RAEng projects that have been funded through the HE STEM prohramme) but the principles apply just as well to the evaluation of employability interventions.
>>
>> You may find his ideas of 'Goal-Oriented' and 'Goal Free' or 'Context Free' evaluation of particular interest (p12/13). The appendices give some useful example of such evaluation.
>>
>> Hope you find this of interest!
>> Best wishes
