Student feedback has appeared in the forefront of higher education
quality, in particular the issues of effectiveness and the use of
student feedback to improve higher education teaching and learning,
and other areas of student tertiary experience. Despite this,
little academic literature has focussed on the experiences of
academics, higher education leaders and managers. The final title
in the Chandos Learning and Teaching Series to focus on student
feedback, Enhancing Learning and Teaching through Student Feedback
in the Medical and Health Sciences expands on topics covered in the
previous publications, focussing on the medical and health science
disciplines. This edited title includes contributions from experts
in higher education quality, and student feedback from a range of
countries, such as Australia, Europe, Canada, the USA, the UK,
South East Asia and India. The book is concerned with the practices
of evaluation and higher education quality in medical and health
science disciplines, with particular focus on student feedback. The
book begins by giving a discipline-specific overview of student
feedback in medical and health sciences, before moving on to take a
global perspective. The penultimate chapter considers the
accountability of student evaluations in health and medical
sciences, before a conclusion summarises the practices of student
feedback and accountability in medical and health sciences, and
suggests future improvements.
This title is the second Chandos Learning and Teaching Series book
that explores themes surrounding enhancing learning and teaching
through student feedback. It expands on topics covered in the
previous publication, and focuses on social science disciplines.

Academia's Digital Voice: A Conversation on 21st Century Higher
Education provides critical information on an area that needs
particular attention given the rapid introduction and immersion
into digital technologies that took place during the pandemic,
including quality assurance and assessment. Sections discuss the
rapid changes called into question as student mobility, pedagogical
readiness of academics, technological readiness of institutions,
student readiness to adopt online learning, the value of higher
education, the value of distance learning, and the changing role of
administration and faculty were thrust upon institutions. The
unprecedented speed of international lockdowns caused by the
pandemic necessitated HEIs to make rapid changes in both teaching
and assessment approaches. The quality of these and sacrosanctity
of the academic voice has long been the central tenet of higher
education. While history is replete with challenges to this, the
current, rapid shift to online education may represent the greatest
threat and opportunity so far.
Measuring and Enhancing the Student Experience provides insights on
how student experience measures could be used to inform
improvements at institutional, course, unit of study and teacher
level. The book is based on a decade of research and practitioner
views on ways to enhance the design, conduct, analysis, reporting
and closing the loop on student feedback data. While the book is
largely based on Australian case studies, it provides learning
experiences for other countries where student experience measures
are used in national and institutional quality assurance.
Consisting of 13 chapters, the book includes a wide range of topics
including the role and purpose of student feedback, the use of
student feedback in staff performance reviews, staff and student
engagement, a student feedback and experience framework, the first
year experience, use of qualitative data, engaging transnational
students in feedback, closing the loop on feedback, student
engagement in national quality assurance, use of learning analytics
and the future of the student experience. Mahsood Shah is an
