Take your higher education institution to the next level with UniHow
UniHow is not just a feedback tool – it is a step towards higher quality learning. Read what we learned in our webinar about the quality of learning and how to develop it in higher education institutions.
The quality of higher education and learning has long been a topic of discussion. How can we ensure that the quality of teaching truly supports learning and does not remain merely a plan?
In a webinar organized by Funidata, we discussed this topic with Anna Parpala, an associate professor at the University of Helsinki, and how UniHow can promote the quality of learning and teaching in higher education institutions.
Why is ensuring the quality of learning so important?
The quality of learning has a direct impact on students' success and well-being. Traditional quality assurance methods often focus only on collecting feedback without using the information obtained to guide everyday practices. Higher education institutions should move towards a process-based approach, where quality is a target for continuous development rather than something that is only evaluated after the fact. It is essential to understand how high-quality learning is achieved and how it supports students' development throughout their studies.
UniHow – more than a traditional feedback tool
One of the key themes of the webinar was UniHow, a tool for students, teachers, and degree programs that integrates feedback into the learning process. It not only collects student feedback, but also provides students, teachers, and degree program managers with concrete tools for developing learning and teaching.
Key benefits:
- For students: UniHow helps students identify their own learning styles and provides concrete tips for developing them.
- For teachers: Teachers gain insight into students' experiences and learning processes, which helps them improve their teaching.
- For degree programs: UniHow supports pedagogical leadership and provides degree programs with information on the quality of teaching and learning.
Quality is a shared responsibility
Parpala emphasizes that high-quality learning is the responsibility of both students and teachers. Students who better understand their own learning processes can improve their performance. Teachers, on the other hand, can use the information provided by UniHow to improve the quality of their teaching and better support their students.
A common language for quality helps higher education institutions develop and respond to today's educational challenges. When quality is not just an abstract goal but a concrete part of learning and teaching development, we achieve better learning outcomes and student well-being.
