As part of its commitment to enhancing Our Student Voice, TU Dublin has developed a training toolkit to provide resources and guidance to staff and students on empowering the Student Voice Quality Assurance and Quality Enhancement Activities.
Students may follow the first link below to explore the thirteen episodes of the Our Student Voice resources for students and the second link to learn about how to earn a Digital Badge for participation in the TU Dublin Quality Assurance and Quality Enhancement processes. The third link provides a Roll of Honour, listing all Digital Badge recipients to date.
Staff may follow the fourth link to review guidance on how they can support students to have their voice heard and acted upon.
