The Bluenotes MENA Conference remains the place to meet, share, discuss, and learn about innovative solutions that Quality Assurance and Institutional Research leaders in Higher Education are implementing to improve teaching effectiveness and enhance the student learning experience. We hear increasingly from higher education leaders that the past two years have been an inflection point where much-debated transformations of higher education have accelerated. They also expressed that higher Education as we knew it will not return, and no institution can successfully navigate the transformation from vision to sustainability without placing student’ success and experiences at the center.

This has increased the focus on trying, evaluating, and improving various instructional approaches such as hybrid delivery with the underlying common questions such as “Is it working?”, “What are student, faculty, and staff experiences with them?” and “How can we compare these and see trends over time?” It is also increasingly of high priority to be able to synthesize information from multiple sources and to report on findings in ways that stakeholders will find understandable and meaningful. Bluenotes community academic institutions are automating feedback collection and analysis with Blue, an experience measurement platform.

In the last Bluenotes conference, the Bluenotes community in the MENA region proposed working on benchmarking exercise. This initiative will become a reality, thanks to the efforts of Zayed University, Ajman University, UAE University, American University of Sharjah and American University in the Emirates. IR leaders from these institutions have been working since early 2022 on defining the benchmarking indicators for the MENA region. During this conference, they will share the details of this initiative and the opportunity on how to participate in the benchmarking activity in 2023.
