DESCRIPTION:*As universities are held more accountable for the quality of 
 their provision\, how can research inform our thinking about how we measur
 e quality in higher education?*\n\nThe economic and employment-related ben
 efits to individuals from attending higher education are well documented. 
 The learning and skill development benefits have been less straightforward
  to capture. Much of the learning from higher education is discipline-spec
 ific of course\, and universities tend to focus on measuring this in their
  assessment systems. There is more debate as to the precise nature of any 
 discipline-transcending learning and the nature of the “graduate” skil
 ls that are being developed. This talk will present findings from recent r
 esearch projects that have attempted to measure the learning and other out
 comes from higher education\, and will consider their limitations and poli
 cy implications.\n\n"Add to calendar":https://www.addevent.com/event/?SK26
