A digital approach to the TEF

Written by UNIwise | Apr 24, 2018
 To ensure quality in teaching and help students with their future employment prospects, a digital approach is key. This is especially true for the assessment procedure in HEIs, as this educational key practice is notoriously underrepresented in digitisation initiatives within education, even though HEIs risk a misalignment in their teaching efforts – and thereby effectively lowering the effect of teaching – because of it.

The third year of the TEF (Teaching Excellence and Student Outcomes Framework) assessment was set in motion this January. According to the Office for Students (OfS), the policy – instituted by the Department of Education in 2016 – is put in place to help students and ensure high-quality teaching: “As well as helping prospective students to choose where to study, the TEF also encourages providers to work with their students to identify, pursue and maintain excellence.”
