Abstract
This report presents findings of a QAA collaborative enhancement project undertaken in order to investigate the relationship between quality assurance (QA) and innovation in UK Higher Education (HE). The work was motivated by experiences of the project team working across a range of institutions of different sizes, ages and foci, and our observations of the way in which changes during the pandemic enabled more frictionless innovation and change. After briefly setting out the current context, the report sets out the project methodology and shares findings from two studies: a survey of UK HE professionals, and focus groups to further explore and discuss findings. The conclusion of the report provides a series of provocations and recommendations with the aim of enhancing institutions’ ability to support quality-led innovative practice. These are complemented by six case studies of practice.
