Resources for staff

As part of the Engaging Students in Knowledge Exchange project, we have developed a collection of staff resources, comprising off-the-shelf workshops and student-facing materials that build on the student resources available within the Knowledge Exchange Toolbox.

If your students are engaged in knowledge exchange activities (placements, internships, consultancy projects etc.), these workshops and materials will enable you to scaffold your students’ learning and experience with interactive and engaging sessions to enhance their confidence and agency, while also building practical skills to boost their overall professional development.

Student Knowledge Exchange: an evaluation toolkit

The toolkit is aimed at anyone who wishes to evaluate their own student KE delivery, or those who have been appointed to evaluate a student KE initiative. The document will guide you through some of the essential stages in planning and carrying out an evaluation, with key points for consideration noted throughout. The toolkit provides a selection of methodological suggestions, which may be relevant to your own context, as well as proposed research tools and metrics for use in your evaluation. We have also provided some examples of the kind of evidence these tools can generate, based on our experience of evaluating the ESiKE programme at the University. Toolkit users should be able to pick and choose what is most appropriate for them, based on the unique characteristics of their own delivery and contexts.
