>> Hi Debbie
>>
>> At the end of last week there was a meeting of the ET / ESC group 
>> which has oversight of the project we reviewed and discussed earlier 
>> in the week at LEC. The group were very positive regarding our 
>> initial progress, particularly in relation to the headline review and 
>> reporting on the areas identified around: What We Did, How We Did It, 
>> What Worked & What Didn’t.
>>
>> Whilst welcoming this approach the Vice Principal, with the group’s 
>> full support, felt that it would also be essential to have a clear 
>> picture of the approaches taken and impact at a programme level for 
>> the University to gain a full picture of how we were able to 
>> transition to non-face-to-face / online learning and teaching from 
>> mid- March. This will help the project to establish a more detailed 
>> understanding of uses of web-based and webinar platforms for: 
>> teaching and learning, project activity, assessment (& assessment 
>> re-design), feedback, student support and support for staff within 
>> the faculty.
>>
>> I am aware from our discussions that faculties have been collating 
>> and recording the changes made for learning, teaching and assessment 
>> and so hopefully the information is available to allow a 
>> programme-based summary to be established for each faculty. We 
>> recognise the curriculum structures vary across the Faculties, so if 
>> providing this detail at a subject level is more appropriate to your 
>> faculty, please feel free to respond as such.
>>
>> The attached template is intended to help programme leaders focus 
>> reflections and provide a framework for responses. Hopefully this 
>> will be useful and help collate information across the institution so 
>> we can maximise our learning from this unprecedented challenge.
>>
>> I realise that this is a further request at a busy time but this 
>> information really would help inform this work and allow us to 
>> maximise the learning and impact from our current experiences. I 
>> would ask that this is collated at faculty level and submitted to me, 
>> and copied to educationenhancement-quality at strath.ac.uk 
>> <mailto:educationenhancement-quality at strath.ac.uk>, by Tuesday 5^th 
>> May in order that I can provide a summary for ESC.
>>
>> I am happy to discuss this request in more detail if it would be helpful.
>>
>> Best regards.
