During the Year 2 summer term modules, the Department of Life Sciences monitored student engagement and well-being using weekly surveys in Blackboard.
The department asked students to reflect on their week’s learning and to provide feedback that teaching staff could use to clarify or enhance learning and teaching on the module. Students could also request advice or support.
At intervals, the department checked in with students not taking part in the survey or engaging with module activities, to confirm that they were okay. The 4-question, free-text-response surveys were set up as non-graded tests in Blackboard to allow advice and support requests to be attributed to individuals for follow-up.
