QAA undertook an enhancement project examining current practice in peer observation of teaching in Wales. The project includes the publication of an overview report covering practice in the regulated and funded providers in Wales, and how this compares to practice across the UK.

To undertake the project, QAA distributed a survey to all 11 providers (nine HEIs and two FEIs) and subsequently undertook a series of interviews with these providers. The project also involved desk-based research looking at practice across other parts of the UK, including 25 HEIs in varying structure, size, and type.

The project has also produced a checklist of key questions to consider when implementing a peer observation of teaching scheme.

In addition to the report, a webinar took place on Tuesday 27 June to share the findings from the project and share practice.

The webinar included the following presentations:
