The Student Engagement Dashboard helps staff identify undergraduate and postgraduate taught students who may need additional support with their studies or more general wellbeing.

The dashboard captures your engagement in face-to-face teaching via QR codes displayed by the teaching staff during your lecture, seminar, tutorial, lab, etc. To log your attendance, open the camera (or QR reader app) on your phone, scan the QR code, and enter your username and password. If you are unable to capture your attendance, please speak to teaching staff who can enter the information on your behalf.

This information is then fed into the dashboard along with other data, such as that from Teams meetings, Moodle activity, and other digital tools activities, to provide key members of academic and support staff an overview of your academic engagement. The experience of both students and staff during 2021/22 has been reviewed and the engagement dashboard has been enhanced to include a view that your personal tutor can access.

The dashboard will be used to support your welfare and will not impact your grades or assessments. If we notice a significant change in your levels of academic engagement, your personal tutor, your academic unit or a member of the Support and Wellbeing team may reach out to you with an offer of support. There will be no judgement attached to such an offer – merely an offer of help if you need it.

If you are on a sponsored student visa the dashboard will also be used to support the monitoring requirements of UK Visas and Immigration.

You will be able to request a copy of the data we hold about you in the dashboard at any time. To find out more, please visit the Student Engagement Dashboard webpage.
