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:
This session will share learning from a series of course‑ and module‑level enhancement workshops developed collaboratively by the Data Insight and Curriculum Development teams at Kingston University. The workshops were designed to help academic staff engage confidently with quantitative student outcomes data by embedding it within a structured, dialogic curriculum enhancement process.
Rather than treating dashboards as endpoints, the approach encourages teams to “find the story” in their data: surfacing patterns, interrogating assumptions, and co‑constructing meaningful enhancement actions. The session will outline our approach, highlight the conditions that enable constructive and psychologically safe data conversations with academic teams, and demonstrate how combining analytics with collaborative reflection can lead to richer, more targeted improvements in learning, teaching, and assessment design.
Participants will take away practical approaches for supporting data‑informed decision‑making in academic teams and for strengthening the relationship between institutional insight, pedagogic practice, and curriculum planning.
