Engaging opening to @QQI_connect conference with excellent keynote from @dannydotliu @Sydney_Uni. Captivating to hear @RebropeIADT speaking on panel about working with @ntutorr champions. @THEA_Irl

“What’s the greatest impact this project has had on me…? It’s actually made me stop and ask myself, “is this ethical, what I’m doing now?”” - Evelyn Cooper

Fascinating insights into student perceptions of academic misconduct, including when they would be willing to engage in it.

Lovely testament paid by @pwqqi in opening remarks @QQI_connect conference to our colleague @wbalfe who is retiring in December, great acknowledgement of the significant contribution @wbalfe has made to #Quality and #Qualifications, a great colleague who will be missed 👏

Great praise from ⁦@ireneglen⁩ on the work of ⁦@QQI_connect⁩ ‘world leading in QA and integrity’ and of #NAIN, significant progress in 🇮🇪 HE and FET, 👏, noting a lot done but more to do in #Academic Integrity

We are delighted to be delivering our Student Quality Assurance Reviewer Training today with @QQI_connect and @TheUSI 👏

This week #SETU was represented by 195 students, staff and stakeholders at over 28 panel sessions at our @QQI_connect CINNTE review 🙌 Sincere thanks to our international review panel, @QQI_connect, @SETUIreland CINNTE Review team and to all stakeholders for their contributions.

QQI has published its annual thematic analysis of the annual quality reports (AQRs) submitted by Irish HEIs. Quality in Higher Education 2024 identifies themes emerging from 2024 reporting by public and private/independent HEIs. Full story: https://t.co/mPhBKXm2H2

The 1st #CINNTE report from the review of Ireland's most recently established TUs has been published on @QQI_connect's website. Congratulations to @MTU_ie for completing the process 👏We're looking forward to working with the technological university in follow up to the report.

As the national body responsible, QQI has a unique insight into the quality enhancement activities ongoing across the institutions. That’s why we’re delighted to have the opportunity to share these case studies today.

@QQI_connect Quality in Higher Education Showcase. Great to see sectoral findings on annual quality reports and enhancement activities being highlighted through excellent case studies including @SETUIreland work with @laoisoffalyetb @KCETB_QA @WWETBofficial

The antidote to #Budget25, @QQI_connect CEO @pwqqi opening the enhancement showcase. Lovely to meet so many colleagues and to have space to reflect upon the quality of our system and good practice. @TheUSI @THEA_Irl

The National Tertiary Office has offered significant support, while at a sectoral level, 10 guiding principles agreed by registrars in TUs also a strong underpinning.

We’ve found that the FE learner will outperform other students. Maturity makes a huge difference. The big challenge is the structural, institutional and social barriers to progressing to HE.

Next up: Championing Collaboration and Expanding Educational Opportunities with @ddenieffe

@clairehamshire reminds us of the complexity of quality in HE @QQI_connect showcase event, with insights into using the ‘wicked problems’ framework
