About the HEA The HEA is a national body supporting developments in learning and teaching in UK higher education. It supports the sector in providing the best possible learning experience for all students. Through a range of programmes and events, research and knowledge creation, evidence and grant funding direct to disciplines and also at strategic leadership level, the HEA works across the UK to enhance the quality of teaching and the student learning experience. In our work to identify, develop and disseminate evidenceinformed approaches, we engage academics, subject communities and institutions in examining current evidence about effective practice, and in using this evidence to make decisions about teaching, assessment, curriculum design and support for students. We provide easy access to information and research and initiate dialogue with individuals and institutions about how they can use this evidence to support their students. The HEA brokers relationships that promote the sharing of effective practice. By ensuring the expertise that exists across the sector can be distributed more widely, students are able to benefit from high quality resources and teaching material and pedagogic approaches, whether developed at their own or another institution. The landscape of UK higher education continues to change at a rapid pace and the HEA’s role in supporting universities and colleges in bringing about strategic change is more valuable than ever. In the pages of this <strong>report</strong> you can find out about our work over the past year and about our plans for the future. 4
