The students on the assessment panel will judge nominations by how you have shown how staff have created a better Student Learning Experience. 

The Student Learning Experience is made up of all the things that go into teaching you and the environment in which you learn.

• Curriculum: The way content and learning was organised.
• Teaching and Learning: The way content and skills were taught to you and how you learned.
• Assessment and Feedback: How learning was measured and results communicated back to you. 
• Resources, Environment and Technology: Everything you needed to be successful in the topic, including the spaces you learn (physical and virtual), topic resources  and the technologies that assist you. 
• Organisation and Management: The processes put in place to support learning and effective course delivery.
• Community and Belonging: Opportunities for peer support and building inclusive learning communities, including local community engagement.
• Student Progression and Achievement: How your learning progressed from one year / topic to the next and what the outcomes were of your studies.
• Guidance and Support: The support and advice of the staff in making the learning experience inclusive, accessible and encouraging.
