How is collecting data on student engagement going to be useful to us?
The AUSSE provides data on phenomena that while central to student learning and educational provision, have not hitherto been the focus of wide scale measurement in Australasia. Data on student engagement can be used by institutions to come up with better ways of attracting, engaging and retaining students as well as to understand and improve the quality of students’ learning experiences and outcomes. The AUSSE provides data that complement and extend current data collections that focus on satisfaction with the quality of teaching and the learning environment.
