Student evaluation to improve the student learning experience: an Australian university case study

Universities have been collecting student feedback on their experiences in teaching and learning for decades.

The case of one university’s approach is used to describe how the student voice, in addition to those of other key stakeholders, is used to analyse and improve the student experience in teaching and learning
