  6. Marketing materials • Discussion • Are the marketing materials meeting your needs? • How do they fit in with other surveys? • What else would you want to see?

  7. Update

  8. Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey 2014 • At least 100 institutions taking part • (89 took part in 2013) • Earliest launch date: 3 February • Latest launch date: 30 April • Live benchmarking: mid May • Last possible close date: 19 June • Benchmarking stable: 20 June • Benchmarking reports: mid July

  9. Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey Revised • PTES has been significantly revised for 2014 after research and sector-wide consultation; • Analysis of previous PTES results to explore how well scales were working; • Consultation on topics to be included in new survey; • Interviews with 77 taught postgraduates, representing a broad range of students, from across 11 Universities; • Final recommendations discussed by the PTES advisory group.

  12. Additional slides

  13. Raising Response Rates

  14. Three rules for getting good response rates Personalise emails and make them informal; Publicise what you have done in response to student feedback; Use a hyperlink that passes the student to the survey directly from the email. 3½. Send lots of emails… or have good contact with the students

  15. Getting PTES up and running

  16. Institutional questions • Why add bespoke questions? • Get feedback on issues specific to your institution • Drill-down into areas of concern identified in PTES 2013 • Get feedback on recent enhancements and initiatives • Continue monitoring trends for questions no longer in PTES • Engage staff and students’ union in the design of the survey

  17. Institutional questions • However: • Bespoke questions are not benchmarkable • They will add to the survey completion time • They will add to the work involved in analysis and reporting • Ideally, questions should be tested prior to inclusion

  18. Institutional questions • Possible areas for consideration: • Application process • Teaching consistency and workload • Specific learning resources provided at your institution • Student support services • Employer engagement • Expectations • Importance of aspects of provision • Would you recommend this course/institution to a friend?

  19. The Support Tool

  20. Benchmarking for 2014 • Benchmarked data available via BOS from mid-May; • Comparison to pre-set benchmarking groups; • Basic tables of results; • Standard Benchmarking Reports via HEA from mid-July; • Detailed by subject statistical analyses; • Include custom benchmarking groups for additional cost.
