This session is part of the HESPA Showcasing Good Practice Week 2026. The aim of this week is to provide a space for our members to share with each other the work they have done which they feel has been a particular success (or which they feel they learnt something valuable from), and to celebrate and promote the hard work of planners in the HE sector.
Synopsis:
BCU has achieved type 3 (causal) evidence of the efficacy of our Package of Assessment Redesign, which is now being upscaled enterprise-wide via BCU’s new Education Strategy.
This presentation will provide an overview of our evaluation findings and methodology (Difference-in-Differences quasi-experimental design) while exploring the steps to success, essential to impactful intervention evaluation in higher education, including: proximity of evaluators to institutional data, inter-departmental collaboration for data collection and development of evaluation tools, academic engagement for robust methodological and statistical oversight, and securing and maintaining senior buy-in for enhanced risk and change management through effective exploitation of policy and data insights.
